Last Ditch?

If it were up to me, I'd egg them on and DARE them to try anything. If they did, then crush them without mercy. After all, if they succeeded, there would be no war in response to a coup. This article proves that nobody expects war, or they'd be preparing for it. I'd say this is a dangerous threat, therefore act that way. But that's how it appears to me, a person who doesn't get out much. Sure hope that this author, Kunstler, doesn't have Trump's ear. Be ready, I say.

What would Sun Tzu say? If you're strong, pretend to be weak--and vice versa. Therefore, who's strong and who's weak? Who's acting strong, while weak, and so forth. A personal assessment: I have a hard time believing that the so-called right is ready for a war. At the same time, I think the left would start one and fight one if they could. The whole thing could be a PR campaign. There's no war on the horizon, but a riot might happen.

Does Fox do cancel culture?

It looks like they do.

 

You know who was cancelled after going on Tucker’s show?

I was.

After Fox News forced him out, I was black listed (as were others including Darren Beattie and Harmeet Dhillon) and never invited back. I was told some hosts asked to have me on—especially since I was covering not…

The future is in the hands of the court---what will they do?

 

This is the big fight right here. If the SCOTUS can make the proper call, the invasion could end.

Check this out.

It kinda looks like National Review screwed Mark Steyn, and even themselves. Perhaps it was really meant to screw Steyn et.al. National Review comes out smelling bad here, or maybe just being stupid. In other words, to screw Steyn, maybe in the end, they'll only screw themselves. That's Steyn's side, though. It's a murky biz.

What's the plan with the shutdown?

 

Get rid of the filibuster to pass a CR? Excuse me, but I don't get it. If the Dems are going to get rid of it anyway in order to pass their priorities, then why not get rid of the filibuster right from the beginning? A CR does do not do much for GOP priorities. A purely partisan bill, which is what the filibuster prevents, just to pass a CR just seems to me to be awfully damned lame. The CR contains a lot of crap that the GOP could get rid of. Suck it up buttercups. No to ending the filibuster which already gives the Dems a few things that they're getting anyway?- boo to that. Whereas, if you started out the gate with no filibuster, you could get a lot better bill. The GOP and Trump need to toughen up. No wonder the Dems think they can profit from a shutdown. Make 'em pay.

Comment:

Once upon a time, I theorized that Venus did not have a runaway greenhouse effect.   I also wrote that I thought I was the only one (that I knew of) that held that view.  It turns out that I'm wrong.  It appears that the literature has a theory that is close to what I wrote.  Maybe I didn't know because I don't read the literature.  The legacy media sure doesn't mention it.

The thing is, nobody will know until more study is done on Venus, but as everyone knows, Venus is very hard to study.  Space probes cannot endure its crushing atmosphere and hellish heat on its surface.
