In the old days, people used to preserve food by “putting it up” in various ways, which meant storing it in a way that prevented spoiling. It also meant storing it in such a way that rats and mice could not get to it. In modern times homeowners make sure their house is safe from mice and squirrels. In both cases, there is a lot of time to think about the strategy of rodents. This is the same sort of thinking we must use when looking at the results of the Iowa caucuses last night.
None of the players in the drama were operating entirely on the level. Trump was the big winner; however, his game is not about the conventional winning of delegates, but of outflanking the lawfare system. The bigger the wins, the more difficult it will be for the system to remove him. At least that is the thinking. He assumes, perhaps foolishly, that a runaway win in the primaries will force the party to abandon its scheme to remove him from the ballot and appoint someone as the nominee.
Similarly, the minor candidates were using the six-month run up to this event for reasons that had nothing to do with winning. Christie ran to earn some good will from the party by saying mean things about Trump in the debates. Hutchinson ran so they will mention it in his obituary. Ramaswamy is playing the long game, hoping to become the heir to Trump. He is hoping to be the burnt orange version of Charlie Kirk so he can run in the future or have a media career.
These sorts of rodents scurry around every presidential primary, but we have some unusual vermin this time. Nikki Haley is running as a standard issue regime Democrat in the Republican primary. The base assumptions of her campaign are that Trump will be removed from the ticket and the party is ready to throw in the towel and merge with the Democrats like you see in most Democrat states. In those states, the Republicans run lighter versions of the Democrats in statewide elections.
What she hoped for in Iowa was a clear second place finish. This would have knocked DeSantis out of the race. She would then be the sole anti-Trump option for the next few months, establishing herself as the logical alternative for when the party removes Trump from the ballot. Instead, she came in third place, with her support coming mostly from Democrats crossing over to vote for the most virulent anti-Trump option. She was close enough to DeSantis, however, to stay in the race.
Her strategy is to look for a big night in New Hampshire next week. The way to look at this New Hampshire primary is as a general election. It is an open primary so anyone can vote on the Republican side. The Democrats and Republicans have been running massive get out the vote drives in order to have as many far left crackpots from Massachusetts take a GOP ballot. That is another thing about the state. People from Massachusetts regularly drive over and vote in the primary.
DeSantis has all but abandoned New Hampshire, as in a general election style format there is no room for a candidate trying to stake out the middle ground. Instead, he is now focused on South Carolina and Nevada. He has no chance to win either contest, but his people think he can beat Haley in both. If he bests her in her own state, then he can argue that he is the better choice for when Trump is removed. Currently he is behind Haley by a factor of four in South Carolina.
The more likely path for DeSantis is to do well enough in South Carolina to argue that Haley is unelectable and then conserve money to run a minimum campaign into Super Tuesday when things get interesting on the lawfare side. It is the longest of longshots, but it is what he has at the moment. The party and its financiers prefer Haley as their Trump alternative and Trump voters have come to despise DeSantis. That leaves him with few voters to collect in these primaries.
Of course, one of the biggest rats gnawing away at things is the media. Clearly, the word has gone forth that they are to invest in Nikki Haley. The reason they called the race so soon was so the campaigns could have a coping strategy and therefore a narrative to use in the media. This will help Haley as she can plausibly claim that she barely lost to DeSantis due to the early call. She did win one county, which is something DeSantis did not accomplish.
Through the media, we can see that the regime has determined that Haley is a good replacement for Biden, even if she is in the wrong party. In a way, they are trying to engineer the primary into a version of Hillary versus Trump in 2016. This may be why Haley is running around praising Hillary Clinton. This is the narrative framing that the regime is conjuring, so Haley is leaning into it. After all, from her perspective, the real nominating process is in Washington.
The biggest rat in the room is the regime. It is an open secret that they want Trump removed from the ballot, but even a regime as evil and sterile as this one has some fear of the peasant revolt. If Trump is plowing through these primaries and people are wise to Haley being a Democrat catspaw, executing their scheme could turn out to be their Samson option, so there may be some hesitance in some circles. Last night’s result was another setback in their scheme.
Much will depend on what happens in the courts. The first shoe to drop will be the 14th amendment case. The court has agreed to take this on an expedited basis, which means a decision may come in February. If the court comes down hard in favor of Trump, which is a possibility, then it could signal to the rest of the legal system that lawfare will face an uphill battle. If the court is open to the claim, then it will be read by the lower court judges that they can do their worst.
All of the study of rat behavior obscures the fact that the only reason any of this is happening is Trump dared to speak for normal white people in 2016. Whites are about seventy percent of the voters right now. Twenty percent of them are insane, leaving about half the voters with no representation in the system. The Democrats explicitly hate these voters, and the Republicans implicitly hate them. Elections are about who gets to spit in these people’s faces first.
That is the subtext of this election. The regime is debating with itself whether now is the time to close the door entirely on the white voter. They believe the time is near when national elections will be like we see in Democrat controlled states. There is a permanent majority called Democrats, a ceremonial opposition called Republican and the goal is to prevent the majority of citizens from getting any say. The results last night suggest they still have some work to do.

Evangelical Christians must be the most masochistic group in the world. They are diehard supporters of the nation that loathes them and their religion the most (Israel) and also diehard supporters of Trump, who spent his four years in office greasing The Swamp, which also loathes them.
Must be the swamp that’s the really psychologically-messed-up group. So PDT “greases” them for four years, and they still spend their time 24/7 in 2024 trying to take them out? Wow.
Nikki Haley gratuitously insulted me, so, I’ve got a grudge against her. If she needs my vote to become president; she ain’t getting it.
The South shall rise again!
The AfD party continues to grow in popularity, and now voices are getting louder that it should be banned as they, like Trump, are a “threat to democracy”.
Democracy as they see it anyway.
“democracy” = Leftist tyranny
Z the courts and the Parties can do their worst , it’s probably not enough.
You’re watching DC and it’s system slowly dissolving, the results will be worse than 1989 in Eastern Europe as there’s no succession, and no one to catch us – the FRG caught the DDR, America caught Poland and the rest… for good or ill they did not descend into chaos.
The dissolution of DC is closer to the fall of the Manchu in 1911 China. Somewhat mitigated by our natural Federation in North America.
I was talking with my mom, who is a Haley supporter. She’s roughly the same age as 3g4me. I told her that anyone who comes here from a nonwestern country should wait a few generations to run for president. As a counterexample, she brought up the story of how her late dad (my grandpa) converted to Catholicism when he was in his 30s and was a devoted member of the church for the rest of his life and how a convert often knows more than your run-of-the-mill person. The question then is – how do you argue against that? That… Read more »
I wouldn’t try to argue against that. Your mother is right, as far as it goes. I would just stick to the issues and patiently explain that Haley does not represent your position on things.
The bubble that is going to pop Nikki Haley is that she is a forever-war Republican. There are a lot of DEMOCRATS who hate this forever-war stuff. Trump has a great message for those Democrats coming over to NH to vote in the GOP Primary: You want MORE war? Vote Neocon Nikki.
500,000 Dead Ukranians? That’s nothing. American kids and grandkids are next.
I’d say Nikki is a forever Dhimmirat in GOPe clothing. She just wants to feed at the trough like Ryan, Romney, McCain, McConnell, and Chenney. She has all the charm of Schiff, the intelligence of Biden, the honesty of Obama, the allure of Moooochelle, the integrity of the Hildabeast, and the courage of Pence.
“The question then is – how do you argue against that?”
I typically argue the general case that, for most non-whites, most of the time, racial tribalism commands greater loyalty than the values that they profess to share with you. OJ trial, black conservatives voting for Obama, mestizo GOP congressmen that are for open borders, ….
Of course, there are exceptions to the general statement, but how much time and energy is required to authenticate the exceptions? Would allowing for some exceptions lead to accepting them all?
Catholicism is a universal religion, open to all, but implicit and explicit in that is that you enter in full knowledge that you are accepting the Catholic hierarchy, the Magisterium’s teachings, etc. Speaking as someone who was baptized Catholic in the not-so-distant past, yes I do know more than the average person sitting in the pews on an average Sunday, but we all believe the same things. The American nation was built by people of European descent, people who have been of European descent since time immemorial. The people built America in their own image and it is a reflection… Read more »
Agree. One would only convert to Catholicism after a spiritual and intellectual struggle in one’s eternal soul.
Coming to America to get out of a sh*t hole country doesn’t take any thought at all by comparison.
Yeah, universal religion. If you want the Pope’s permission to live on his planet; you have to be baptised into his religion.
Heretics can go and try to live on the moon.
You’re pretty ignorant and blast it forth – perhaps get a clue b4 going on about something you have no idea about? Just a thought…. Luther came up with the Prot “religion” sitting on the crapper arguing with the Devil = Historical Fact. They still have the crapper he sat upon set up in a museum to him in Germany – Jesus Christ founded the Catholic (means UNIVERSAL) religion – bad Popes come and go like we are seeing right now – no one gets into Heaven who is not part of the Catholic/Universal Church whether that happens in the… Read more »
Yeah, rather than arguing with that premise, I’d ask which of NH’s policies she is most in favor of — would be surprising if her voters could name one. For bonus points, confirm TDS
I dunno I spotted the rat in my basement today and I don’t think the comparison to the managerial class is fair. Rats are cuter.
The Orange Cloud of Death descended on Iowa …
(that was my favorite description in this blog in recent weeks) Just hilarious 😀
I guess “they” need some big-ass fans next time – the ones that create the wind in movies.
I think many are missing the two big issues here shown in Iowa. First, some elites are moving Trumpwards. There are only two choices: Biden and not-Biden and Trump is the only not-Biden choice. Disasters abound: Ukraine and the coming big defeat there, outside of massive drafts of White people in Europe and the US; the Red Sea blockade done on the cheap with cheap drones and cheap missiles that the US Navy cannot beat; the flooding of the border with welfare obligations that will crowd out military spending (big Defense is not down with the open border, that spells… Read more »
The irony is that Trump wasn’t at all capable of putting the brakes on DIE and most likely won’t be in the future either, even if re-elected.
We’re going to find out real soon in NH and SC if the GOP can rig primaries for their favorite. The polls in SC say it’s probably impossible.
Good points, and don’t be surprised when the media can’t figure out why Trump is picking up a lot of anti-war Democrats. The Permanent War Party is roundly despised in this country these days. I’m always asking “How many more wars do you people have to lose before you realize you’re incompetent and stupid?” I think a LOT of people are realizing the Permanent War Party is incompetent and stupid, even PWP members haven’t come to this conclusion yet. Yeah, there’s a lot of Trump haters out there. But I think Trump will hammer home the message that things were… Read more »
Raytheon in particular has to be beside themselves regarding the open border.
This is because one of their key production facilities is located in Tuscon, just a stone’s throw from what was the southern border.
Seeing the DeSantis marks on Twitter meltdown last night was enjoyable. Pedro gonzalez, Steve deace, and Jenna Ellis come to mind. Ann coulter said nothing last night, probably because her mouth was full of crow. I am not a Trump fan boy, but I don’t have TDS, either.It just amuses me to see the Mitt Romney and Ted Cruz marks from past years continue to embarrass themselves.
Jenna Ellis, who turned on Trump is another good example of Trump’s foolish appointments. She is a twat. Pure and simple. She smiled like a twat in her mug shot in Georgia and then folded like a cheap suit on the felony charge. Trump’s attorney. Put her on the list with Cohen and so many other bad choices. It also shows you that no woman is going to go into the trenches to battle it out. It’s not in their DNA.
Are people even becoming aware of the ground shifting beneath their feet? Over the past week National Review ran articles praising Nikki Haley for wanting to gut Social Security alongside articles praising Joe Biden for illegally and unconstitutionally starting another war. Who could realistically call themselves a conservative today? This is pure farce. What the national parties (yes, plural, as the Dems are obviously coordinating with Ronna and co.) are doing is so obvious that even the most blinkered griller could see it. I watched most of the debates (albeit in a stream) and this party just has no future.… Read more »
Mycale: A subcon born to two non-citizen parents ought not to have ANY political future in what used to be America. In AINO, however, he will do well as the representative of the next market-dominant minority waiting and working to take over from the juice. His pose as a champion for Whites too timid to speak up for themselves, their forbearers, or their progeny is a clever ploy which will assuredly net him a seat ta the table next to Sunak and Varadkar etc.
You’re a brave soul to have witnessed that spectacle.
Trump is going to be able to use Vivek to his advantage. He needs somebody else preaching MAGA and harassing Neocon Nikki. I don’t know if Trump is running ads in NH, but the ad I would run is “There are now over 500,000 dead Ukranian young men. Neocon Nikki wants to give the women and children survivors weapons and send them on a suicide mission. What do we have to show for Joe Biden’s incompetent war? Democrat Party officials telling you to vote for Neocon Forever War Nikki. That’s it. That’s all we got to show for it. That,… Read more »
Why not go for the throat and say, “Neocon Nikki wants to send your (meaning American) children to die for Ukraine!” ?
What am I missing?
Sure, absolutely. Pols in DC are running scared on Ukraine because everyone – massive majorities – oppose going to war with Russia directly. They’ve gotten by this far by hiding the mercenaries we’ve been sending.
Ukraine is the rope we use to hang them.
I read that King Cobra has dropped out. Perhaps he’s deemed that he’s accomplished enough in “this year’s cycle” to prepare for 2028. Also, since the Republican’ts now won’t include him in their “debates,” he has no stage and mic access any more, or at least he can’t count on it. Any stand up comedian denied access to a venue will simply move on from that venue, and this remains true even when the comedy venue is “the process” of “Our Democracy.” The downside to this is that what little amount of comic relief and entertainment was formerly present in… Read more »
‘Also, since the Republican’ts now won’t include him in their “debates”’
Pretty sure it’s spelled Repugnicants. Perhaps there are alternate spellings.
For sure… but let’s not unfairly traduce something which can at least be useful from time to time.
Repugnicunts shurely!
“Rethuglicans”, works for me.
I have nothing but a deep loathing for the party of Lincoln.
The Republicans never were a Conservative party. The post-war veterans were a solid voting block, but their successors sold out as these veterans began to die off.
What are the odds on Trump making it to Election Day alive?
I thought Biden would die of natural causes 2 years ago. Or maybe he did? Maybe “they” have technology that can realistically preserve and move a dead corpse for several years.
As for Trump, if he dies, it will be by a crazy lone wolf, a right-wing antisemitic extremist and white supremacist, who leaves behind a manifesto explaining that MAGA wasn’t fascist enough. He will do it with an AR-15. Media whores will discuss how it is all very ironic.
I was thinking yesterday that we’ve gone a long time without someone taking a shot at the President. 40+ years.
If he has this wrapped up by Super Tuesday, expect there to be widespread calls in Democrat/Government Party media for him to be assassinated. The Lawfare stuff seems to be in real trouble mainly because it is making Trump more, not less, popular. And it’s proving his point that a) these prosecutions are fake and b) they’re doing it because they can’t beat him.
In short, they’re convincing people that there wasn’t an insurrection on 1/6/21. But there should have been.
{mid-2024…}
I have thought very long and hard about who my vice-president is going to be, Trump announces before the cameras. He has to be someone loyal, someone I can trust implicitly. He has to be someone from outside the system, as we saw what happens when I appoint someone like Pence. He has to be smart and charismatic, bold and unusual …
Therefore, I am selecting my own son, Don Jr., as my Vice-Presidential running mate. Thank you everyone, ladies and gentlemen. No questions please …

This would be the best scenario.
I’m also fine with Kyle Rittenhouse.
Wall St’s emissary, Paul Krugman said it point blank on television. “In the end, the power that they, (Heritage, European Conservative Americans) have, is going to go away.” He said that in 2012, 2017? It was a while ago. Of course it isn’t going to evaporate, they are going to take it away. It is in broad daylight. Take away Trump, flood the country with 24+ million colonizers in 4 years, get them to vote and let natural demographics take the course. They have to get Trump now to eliminate the possibility of immigration being halted and deportations starting. Another… Read more »
This.
The real election fraud is flooding the country with non-whites who will eventually be legal voters. No need to cheat when you change the electorate.
This is why we have to move on from the system. Those days are over. We create our own communities. That is our system.
“This is why we have to move on from the system. Those days are over. We create our own communities. That is our system.” Agree 100%. And that there encapsulates the entire future approach, in our lifetime. My parents moved out of the big city, “schools” and all that. No, they won’t be getting ‘reparations’ for what was lost to the new population(s) that now reside in their once beautiful neighborhoods. It’s a big country, so thinking in terms of the where and among the whom is the only realistic alternative. At least for middle aged adults. Then there is… Read more »
Yes, they stuffed the ballot boxes with people.
I’m stealing that line.
I’m stealing it as well.
“We create our own communities.”
Where?
And–at least as far as I know–we don’t even have an agreed-upon means of communicating with each other when we can no longer use the internet, assuming that there will continue to be one accessible to us or anybody else.
First things first.
Okay. What’s your plan? I’m all ears.
Yes. There are many flaws with this plan, but it is the plan.
Well then a lot of us will correctly conclude we have nothing to loose.
That would be nothing to lose, not nothing to loose.
Trump’s latest on immigration isn’t “I’m going to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it.” It’s, “We’re going to have the largest deportation program in world history.” That is a massive, massive, threat to a lot of people and he’s not saying he’ll get Mexico to pay for it. The only way he carries that out is to deploy the US Military to round people up and put them on planes, ships, and buses back to their country of origin. And his “deportations” statement isn’t just aimed at whites. It’s aimed at blacks and “Hispanics” in the most… Read more »
One thing he may have power to do is to sour the milk. The milk which attracts IA’s—employment and benefits. Sour the milk to slow IA’s and then offer cash for self deportation. Of course, sanctuary States will posture and protest, but let them then foot the bill for those IA’s flooding in.
Agreed, but simply being able to say the obvious out loud – deport them! – is a sea change in this country. I think a lot of people feel resigned to 20% of their kids school populated with people who can’t speak English.
Deportations will be a popular theme.
He won’t be deporting jack shit. The military will not obey him. They know that once Trump is gone, the Dems would prosecute and imprison any general or colonel who carried out Trump’s “illegal orders.”
Z-man’s conspiracy theory is pretty good: Haley is the Republican nominee by hook and crook, and Biden is such a disaster, Haley gets in. One embarrassing compliant stooge replaced by a respectable compliant stooge. It’s a great plan.
Watch South Carolina. It seems to be a weird state (Lindsey Graham, really?), that is the Establishment’s fire-break. They used it, in my life time to off Buchanan, foist McCain onto the ticket, and deep-six Bernie. I am sure they’ll use it to finish-off Desantis. There is just the remaining problem of the Orange Inferno, who jumped the fire-break in 2016.
Somewhere in South Carolina/
And gravity don’t mean a thing.
Trump won SC in 2016, in part because the Government Party “ticket splitter” strategy blew up in their faces. If Desantis does well enough in NH to stay in the race, Trump wins SC with 40-50% and Haley/Desantis each get 20% apiece like in Iowa. The problem the Government Party has right now is that Desantis is a goofball who hasn’t figured out yet how much people dislike him. He’s not running to “stop Trump” or anything highbrow like that. There is a distinct difference between the “stop Trump” people (Pence, Christie, Haley, etc.) and everyone else. The “stop Trump”… Read more »
As evidence that the Republican party is begrudgingly coming to terms with Trump as a candidate and possibly a President, gatekeepers Kurt Schlicter and Hugh Hewitt have each published articles demanding that the candidates name their nominees for their administration ASAP. Being helpful types, they offer their suggestions all of which are straight out of GOPe central casting. Schlicter offering Pompeo as a nominee for FBI Director is risible, but offering Nikki Haley as VP takes him off the charts of ridiculousness.
Link to Schlicter at Townhall. There’s a link to Hewitt in Schlicter’s article.
https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2024/01/15/the-republican-nominee-needs-to-pick-his-administration-right-away-n2633584?bcid=51d52eb10caae142309a328e29876832044faa0a177f96eaa1ccf695424354c7&recip=603396
It’s really amazing how the Trump tsunami is still taking down Con., Inc. poseurs 8+ years after his run in 2016. I really thought for a time that Schlicter was at least dissident adjacent, but he’s gone all-out neocon/cuck recently. I’ve been wondering lately whether the monetary support for cucks has dwindled so much recently that they’re just basically on call at this point to parrot a handful of Establishment talking points.
I too used to like Schlichter, but he’s unzipped his rubber skin suit and revealed the weasel inside. Well, he is a lawyer after all. Like that other weasel, Hewitt. There’s a guy who hasn’t been right about anything in decades. Plus he has a homosexual obsession with Romney. That “book” he wrote (A Mormon in The White House) was so embarrassing, probably 98% of the copies went straight into the pulping machines.
Imagine being that out of touch, not to mention Mitch McConman would block anyone who would interfere with his gibs.
Trump will need to make vigorous use of Acting cabinet members to bypass Senate confirmation. The political class will scream, but there’s little they can do about it. The Acting member gets 300 days, plus two additional terms of 210 days each for a total of 720 days. Trump’s biggest mistake in his first term was his failure to purge the government, starting with the military. His second biggest mistake was being duped into nominating Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. His third biggest mistake was being duped into nominating Bill Barr for Attorney General. Had he simply left Matt Whitaker… Read more »
Sessions was a strong anti-immigration voice in the Senate. I’m not sure why he was a problem for Trump except he cucked and recused himself because had actually had a dinner party conversation with a Russian and in confirmation hearings he didn’t admit or remember it. That allowed for the rat faced Rod Rosenstein to take over and appoint Mueller. All that aside, I thought Sessions a good man.
When it really counted, he probed himseld a Summer Patriot, to use the disapproving phrase of Thomas Paine. All outta control from there, ’nuff said.
I think Schlichter’s main problem is that he’s never expanded beyond TownHall.com. Without that venue, where’s he going to go? AnnCoulter.com? With that weakness in mind, he has to toe the line with Katie Pavlich, and, to a lesser extent, the likes of Big Guys in that arena like Guy Benson.
True, he might just be another weasel. But he did make a valiant effort at trying to fight the steal. Lord knows, better than Trump did…
Truly amazing that Schlicter paints himself as the establishment’s worst enemy, w/ his blue/red lit series — and then suggests Hailey, of all people, for VP? Does he have no understanding of what happened J-6 and what role Pence played in it?
Sure, let’s put another “e” candidate in, kurt. Duh.
Your American elections are very interesting to us West Europeans, seeing that we are clearly vasall states at this point. So like the Illyrians, Gauls or Greeks of old, we hope that a somewhat agreeable emperor comes out on top in Rome. (“Nero is a lunatic but also a stay-at-home, so maybe he’s better for us than that brat Britannicus, who is an unknown quanitity.”) From the outside looking in, it seems impossible that Trump will be allowed to win. He seems to be really quite helpless against both the lawfare and the vote counting tricks. And if all else… Read more »
From afar, at least, it seems to me that the EU is a far bigger problem for Europeans than the US. The EU is probably far more responsible for the war and green BS than either the US or the individual member states. The EU is the new Soviet Union, only far worse in some very important ways. At least in the Soviet Union, a bunch of Poles couldn’t move to East Germany and create a bunch of trouble. The Soviet blocks were never invaded by Africans and Middle Easterners and then allowed to victimize the population. The EU is… Read more »
Correct, Tars.
The commenter above mentions that West European states are ‘vassal’ states of the US (I assumed he meant this); but I don’t really see it that way. If the power of the US is waning – and it is – there are many other countries now who could construct alliances to rival it: Germany, France and the UK, for example; or, further afield, Russia and China.
Put simply, in the EU, I don’t believe US influence is the-be-all-and-end-all, it is strong – but there are stronger forces at home. One of which is the intensely demonic European Union.
I get more of the vibe that the United States has morphed into the USSR and the EU simply is a new version of the East Bloc.
Relatedly, the GAE is toppling Central and South American governments and installing sodomy-compliant client states that in many ways do resemble the old communist dictatorships. As we know from the USSR, that’s all good fun until the cash runs out.
Right, in and of itself the EU as an institution is a huge problem. But – at least – since 2019, when the current commission headed by Ms van der Leyen (our version of Kamala Harris, only not so pretty, not so smart) took over, the EU has been a transmission belt for whatever lunacy has been cooked up in Washington. 2004 is only 20 years back. Then, the EU would have never, ever followed the US into the Ukraine debacle. Back than, a large chunk of Europe actively resisted taking part in the Iraq war. Such independence would never… Read more »
Yes. There still are a few cracks in the relationship that appear now and then*, but the relationship is totally different than twenty years ago. I think the United States blew up Nordstream II to try to cement that power dynamic, and short term it worked. Longer term the EU again will distance itself, in no small part due to the economic and military diminution of the United States. I suspect the EU itself doesn’t hold together much longer after that point, either.
*Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine may widen those cracks in the near term.
The EU is simply the GAE’s governing apparatus in Europe. NATO is its military apparatus.
By referring to a man who is clearly monkeyshit brown as Burnt Orange, you have perpetrated a slur on the memory of the late, great Jacques Debierue and all that he stood for.
Repent.
“but even a regime as evil and sterile as this one has some fear of the peasant revolt” I have come to believe the 2020 election indeed was rigged over fear of a bourgeois Leftist revolt–a completely justified fear, too. The Regime and its propaganda organs had jacked up these bizarre religious fanatics to the point where California, at a minimum, might have left the union, at least in a de facto fashion. The Regime knew full well the “Right” (for want of a better word) was full of hot air and would not lift a finger. This calculation was… Read more »
I do not see a peasant revolt on the “right,” at least not with the level of overt violence there would be with one from the left. I do see a right “revolt” in the form of drop out – in particular wrt military participation, perhaps other public service type activities. An economic drop out might occur, but more from circumstance than deliberate choice. That is a big danger for a consumer based economy. I could see a death spiral as loss of purchasing power becomes loss of consumption.
I agree and that’s largely what I meant by “compliance.” I would not discount some aping of the Left’s misconduct, either, even though that is not permitted. The primary reaction is and will continue to be the “no-confidence vote” and detachment. That’s a solid point about consumerism, and part of the reason the Chinese stock market is reacting in the way it is (unstable shipping lanes loom large, too, thanks to Our Greatest Ally).
I agree strongly, no one I know is spending any money on anything except food and gas and electricity. I moved a while ago to books and dvd’s, and now only watch the local weather on an antenna tv. No cell phone, just a landline, and just a low level laptop. Still wearing clothes from 10 years ago, buying bulk foods and doing the “one big pan of something to pick away at all week” cooking. We have a good woodstove and a big firewood pile, and a manual pump for our well. It is surprising how fast the money… Read more »
Saving up for your cremation? What about that big firewood pile?!? 😉
And really, everyone carrying around those 24/7 geolocator/recorder/cameras are making it even rougher for the rest of us — those of us who, yeah, have a landline , no TV, and just a low-level laptop (w/refurbished but brought up to date, except having Windows 7 — no 11, thank you)– Because it just reaffirms to those “in charge” that sure, we’ll roll over and let them surveil and record and keep records on us — not to mention hunting us down if we’re in the vicinity of a protest — –and they offer as proof, the fact that so many… Read more »
“I could see a death spiral as loss of purchasing power becomes loss of consumption.”
Before “they” let that happen, they will force us into a cashless economy, likely with a guaranteed basic income (and a Chinese-style social credit system, of course).

Jack Dodson: One quibble, if I may. While Texas has taken what appears to be a stand against the feds, it is still a toothless pantomime of genuine ‘action.’ The National Guard soldiers in Eagle Pass are using plastic ‘riot shields’ to defend themselves against rock-throwing mestizos and han, and are not actually stopping anyone who makes it through the wire. When the National Guardsmen are issued weapons with orders to shoot to kill, then one may say Texas has taken a genuine step to counter invasion and demographic replacement. But until that highly unlikely event, don’t hold your breath… Read more »
I may have misinterpreted what is happening, but it appeared the Texas Guard actually blocked the Border Guard from at least one area and took control of it. I think we agree the demographic ship has sailed, but if I understood this point correctly, it is a flex against the feds we haven’t seen previously even if the end result is kabuki. Anything that increases the antagonism is good albeit for a different reason.
Jack: Yes, they did kick out the Border Patrol so you are correct that it is a “flex” against the feds. But they’ve just replaced one “welcome wagon committee” with another that’s perhaps more neutral than welcoming. What we need – and will not get – are people who are actively hostile to the invasion and willing to use deadly force to stop it.
No disagreement as to what we need, of course, but widening the state and federal rift is not to be discounted as a net benefit. One of the white pills from Covid was how much it fueled that antagonism in a few significant jurisdictions.
It was widely expected that China would cut interest rates last night but they didn’t. That also contributed to the market weakness, or so many are saying this morning
The China CSI Index has fallen almost by one half over the last three years, so not cutting rates certainly would have played a role. As to the point about American consumerism, that inevitable collapse has been baked into the cake a long time and Beijing explicitly made increasing domestic consumption a top goal with that in mind. The China Daily announced the inevitability of Trump’s return, which I still don’t think would be permitted even though signs are pointing to the Regime possibly allowing it, as a message to its bank(s) to get ready to juice the domestic markets… Read more »
Trump is the establishment. He has 136 congressional endorsements, half of the GOP. He is a former president and has a unique advantage due to his cult of personality.

He’s “disinterested” in government reports and daily briefings? Say it isn’t so!!! I read them for fun! Some people read fiction for entertainment. Not me, I curl up with a good report.
The only realistic complaint you have about Trump is his propensity to surround himself with cucks and traitors.
His “legal troubles” are the result of fabrications. They arrested him for documents the government delivered to his house. They arrested him for telling people to march peacefully and go home after offering the Wicked Witch of Congress military protection. In GA, the AG paid her lover $1M to arrest Trump and they coordinated their indictment at the White House. And that thing in NY is a complete joke…they’re prosecuting a borrower using a law meant to prosecute lenders. It’s all FAKE. Because he’s not “establishment”.

The really odd thing about all this Trump hate is:
1) Trump never actually did anything that should scare the establishment
2) More importantly, the Dems are probably a decade – at most – away from locking in the presidency (and thus the Supreme Court over time) due to the passing of the Boomer generations and the decline of whites as a percent of voters.
The establishment could just wait this out, but, instead, they’re going to the mat and pissing off a lot of Normie whites. It’s another sign of the loss of competency in the ruling class.
They don’t have another decade due to geopolitics and the financial system.
Quite possibly, but I don’t think that our rulers believe that. I just think that they are impatient and getting tired of pretending to not hate regular white people.
Dare we say “low time preference”?
It’s not the blacks and browns running the show. But the usual suspects seem to be getting tired of pretending not to run the show.
That said, as Hate Whitey coalition tightens its grip on power, the black and brown members along with the true believer whites will start demanding much harsher treatment of the “evil” whites who are preventing their utopia from emerging.
The usual suspects will have a harder and harder time keeping them under control. That’s when the fun begins.
Agreed. The extreme ineptitude in dealing with the White Problem probably is pushing that timeline closer to the present, too.
@Citizen: The Regime may not believe it (I think they do, but still), but it certainly has to realize its third-party beneficiaries are making a hash of things. The incompetence is undeniable.
The old guard of the Dems is clinging to power and trying to keep the blacks, browns and true-believer whites in check, but it’s getting harder and harder. Competent whites and more pliable blacks and browns are slowly retiring from politics. The same thing is happening in the various regime agencies – FBI, CIA, state, etc. You’re already seeing the effects. The old guard can’t rely on it minions to get the job done without making a hash of it. But the real fun begins with the old guard finally submits to nature and leaves the seen. The old guard… Read more »
Exhibit A in what a cluster that will be–and increasingly is–look no further than Fani Willis down in Georgia. What is remarkable about that situation is how typical of black behavior it all is. Our odds explode once the usual suspects no longer direct the action. Granted, is is Fort Apache, too.
We conflate the collective with the individuals. The actual people moving forward the Establishment’s anti-White genocide have finite life spans. They want their glory and rewards now, not some honorarium for their committee in 20 years after they have been dead for 10. See eg Pelosi. Especially given how many are atheist or demon worshippers, if they dont get the payoff while still alive they get much, much worse than nothing. 30 pieces of silver dont mean nothing after you are already burning in The Pit.
I agree. The old guard is still in power and a decade is way too long for them to wait.
The upcoming rulers are too stupid to wait.
(also @Citizen) Yes, it is very important to distinguish between the Regime and its foot soldiers. The accelerated pace of the looting indicates the Regime thinks the window is closing on its ability to do so; the ferocious lunacy of the foot soldiers indicates they think victory and utopia are just over the hill. Those two factions might come to loggerheads given their different time perceptions. The Usual Suspects have a rich history of taking everything not nailed down as they make for the exits.

It seems as if, at some point, “narrative fatigue” (is that the right term?) would set in. There’s only so long you can keep up the ruse that Donald Trump is some kind of existential threat to “democracy” before you admit to yourself that clearly, he is not. And tire of propagating it.
Is your argument that we should wait for UMC urban white women and joos to stop being neurotic and solipsistic? Cause thats what your plan sounds like.
They don’t think they are a decade away. They think they are the Allies who have just gained a battlefield edge against Hitler, and it’s time to storm the beaches.
“More importantly, the Dems are probably a decade – at most – away from locking in the presidency (and thus the Supreme Court over time) due to the passing of the Boomer generations and the decline of whites as a percent of voters.”
The country doesn’t have ten years left in its present configuration.
It is unraveling now. The “present configuration” bit is key. And, no, the dissolution is not by design either, but the direct result of hatred, incompetence, malice, ignorance, hubris and greed, quite a toxic mix. The best-case scenario is the de facto fragmentation underway yields to, as they say now, a mostly peaceful resolution. Given those involved I wouldn’t bet the farm on it but hope springs eternal.
@Infant, “The country doesn’t have ten years left in its present configuration.”
I don’t know. My money is on that they can keep the shitshow going on a while yet. There’s way too much wealth to be made still to allow it to collapse.
Look to things like
confiscation, erm, transfer of 401(k)s and 403(b)s to bail out SS and CMS. As boomers die off, that will become much easier, since while most boomers have jack in savings, GenX has vastly less.The Regime is resentment and vengeance based. Resentment and vengeance don’t wait.
He did something that terrified them more than any single policy or executive order: he showed EVERYONE that the Republicans are completely fake, that Conservative Inc. is paid opposition, and that damn near everything people believed about their country is a damn lie. The wars were a damn lie. The economy, climate change, energy policy, all of it is a damn lie. You will never see a human being flip out more aggressively and hysterically than when they are caught repeatedly lying to their supposed friends.

Oh they know that, and soon they will come up with a scheme to “deal” with their problem. There will come a day you’ll turn on a TV or radio to get their message that you must turn them all in TODAY.
The people (Democrats and RINOS) in your town who they’ll already have selected to do the dirty work will be the first ones to be purged. If they’re all dead or have gotten TF out to delay their early demise, then that problem will be solved. Your Democrat neighbors will be the next problem.
“There will come a day you’ll turn on a TV or radio to get their message that you must turn them all in TODAY.” The so-called “border crisis” is nothing of the kind. Rather, it is the importation of an army–the enforcers–who are being imported to disarm the civilian population. And there won’t be an announcement; the enforcers will come when you are not at home and take whatever they find. You won’t get an appointment. And if by some unfortunate chance you happen to be at home when they come, they’ll make short work of it. That’s why they… Read more »

My ‘second family’ growing up were Kentuckians who eventually settled in the N. Bay Area when pops scored a factory gig. Five boys, all fighters, and one girl.
Whenever I’d pass by their house on weekends the old man would roar at me from the gingham kitchen table, Is that you ____? Come on in here and have a drink with me and a few shots of whiskey later, me and one of the boys would stumble back out to wrench on the cars.

The running bet is the regime either starts WWIII or works with a foreign power to unleash COVID 2.0…something with a mortality rate closer to 5%. They need a way to cancel the elections or throw everything to “mail in voting” which is easy to rig. It’s just too hard to conceal election rigging on the scale that it looks like they are going to need to stop Trump.

So the main conclusion from last night is what I think we can call “Griller Collapse”. The actions of the Regime since the 2008 GFC have really collapsed the number of Grillers who will support old GOP. Many have been purged from the (minor in Iowa) corporate ranks and other “aspirational” Grillers who survived the GFC (small business people etc) got destroyed and/or disillusioned in Covid. The Iowa Farmers see a border invasion and no new Farm Bill for the last two years. It’s really just a numbers game.

A good point. The scale of DeSantis’s failure has been a surprise, even to those of us who’ve always rejected him.

That’s who they are too, and, cozying ever closer to the regime, they increasingly revel in it. For them Ron’s humiliation is a social and psychological growth opportunity. They’re all-in for the whole run. But it turns out the plot to destroy the griller/worker middle class and the native petit bourgeois has already succeeded, so their standard-issue… Read more »

I look forward to DeSantis dropping out and endorsing Haley, just so Ann Coulter will have a stroke and we can be rid of that screeching harpy.
All of us get out of touch with age, but Coulter has been positively tone death for a long time now, starting with her Romney love.
I also suspect the plan is to have DeSantis exit and endorse Haley, but those two have such execrable supporters and handlers they easily may create circumstances too toxic for it to go off without a hitch. It will be fun to watch.
Everything in that linked article is 100% correct.
The DeSantis meltdown is truly baffling. He seemed to have such great potential if he endorsed Trump, sat out four years, and then ran as a more effective Trump 2.0. He also seemed too smart to take the bait of being the last man standing after Trump is removed, especially given the number of R voters that would then sit on their hands in the general election.

I have a feeling Desantis has been drinking his own bath water for too long to endorse Nikki Romney. His statement after getting trounced last night was straight out of Crazyland. The thing to remember about Desantis is that he was willing to benefit from the “stop Trump” movement, but is not actually running as a “stop Trump” Republican.

Thus far in my prepping activity, the rodents seem to have no interest whatsoever in dried goods, such as the pasta or the legumes. In fact, even the cockroaches & the ants don’t seem to be interested in the dried goods. I’ve been trying to wrap might head around it.

True, and good points all along this reply thread, to the effect that sufficient Will is the first step to addressing the immigration problem—and that Will is what’s lacking today. I share this assessment completely. But in Zman’s column, the rodent infestation he referred to was NOT about immigration, but about an infestation of grifters, phonies, and losers into the political arena. That’s the question I was asking about the “killer cat”—namely: What kind of factor, if introduced into the political arena, would so terrify and abuse the grifters that they would flee from that arena completely, and never enter… Read more »

Thanks for your reply, DLS.
A clue as to the utter delusion is the Regime is how easy, still, it would be to get Trump to play ball. Give him his hardline Immigration policy and they could easily get him to sign off on a massive Health Care upheaval, military boondoggles, and probably even reparations. The pigs would have a field day in the trough.

You must be fun at parties. You write like a Goth kid acts, all gloom and doom. Things are crap, I get it, but focusing all your negativity on someone like Trump when you should focus on the ones who are trying to burn it all down at ludicrous speed is a waste of your time.
“Give him his hardline Immigration policy and they could easily get him to sign off…” They wouldn’t even need to do that. Just change all the illegal immigration at the border to legal immigration with visas and a “process”. Same exact result, but now the normies would be on board, undercutting any attempt to stop our replacement. But the Left can’t do that because they have a pathological need to spike the football and dance around in the endzone.

Agree with the analysis but this is occurring against the backdrop of a collapsing empire. The regime is fiddling while Rome burns.
By the way, I can’t help but wonder: if Trump is removed from the ballot and Haley becomes the nominee, will the regime apparatus (aka deep state) back Haley rather than the senile old coot? In their position I would.
That would actually be brilliant on their part. You get the same governing results, and given that voters like to rotate Rs and Ds every 4-8 years, you would cleanse the palate and set up for another leftward run down the road. Alas, they are too impatient and stupid, and sense they don’t need to play this game anymore.
The primary function of the outwardly visible current_regime is to give its constituencies “the feeling that power is increasing”—to *minimally* drip-feed their madness so they don’t rush us into Total Civilization Death in a way that thwarts it as a longer-term, sustainable goal.

The *average* Democratic voter—the “good people, but…” in your family—would be enraged to the point of open bloodlust, and the “activist base” would go full Rwanda.

I suspect the problem with most intelligent people is that they simply don’t believe Evil exists.

And that’s another beef I have with many smart people – they’re so invested in their intelligence, that they’d do anything to avoid being seen as unintelligent! Pride. Evil is real; and it’s increasing everyday because people let themselves be taken over by their own desires and whims. And when… Read more »

Registration? For a caucus? Let’s not overthink this. My experience with caucusing is you show up at the location (Republican or Democrat), get with the people who support your preferred candidate, and based on your relative numbers figure how many of the quota for your precinct or township you can get elected to the next, County level caucus. That caucus then selects for the state level, where the delegates for the national convention are finally chosen. The published poll results are likely a straw poll taken of attendees’ stated candidate preferences at the local level. It may just about approximate… Read more »
The people I know in Iowa have told me they have to sign in and register when the get to the caucus site and their name is checked against a registered voter list. I don’t think it is easy to illegally vote at the Iowa Caucuses, at least on the Republican side. Especially not in rural areas where the people checking in voters know most of the people when they see them.
True, American elections work in townships where people know each other. But within the urban populations of Des Moines or a university town with a transient population (or any place with undocumenteds) you are free to register/sign in as anyone you please. The “rules” may keep conservatives happy, but they really only work with specific populations like, for instance, that of 1789.
Yes, the non-American “Nikki” only finished 3d because many Democrats crossed over to vote for her…Otherwise, she’d be out of the race…
The kids are home from school today and my daughter was watching fox and friends for a class project. The way they are fawning all over Nimrava was beyond sickening. Anyway, she asks me, “Dad, Trump won last night, right?” “Yes.”And Haley came in last pretty much right?” “Yes.” “So why have they interviewed her twice in the last hour, why aren’t they interviewing DeSantis or Trump?” I explained that the owners of fox news hate Trump, don’t like DeSantis and want Haley to win, that’s why they keep her front and center. I also pointed something out that Nimrava… Read more »
The time to ignore Trump was 2015. Instead, they hyper-focused on him and created the monster they so fear.
Their “Pied Piper” strategy worked perfectly, only they were the lemmings who went over the cliff.
Mike,
Good to see you steer the lass in the right direction; when surrounded by Evil, it is all we can do to point it out. Doubly so when a child enquires and has legitimate questions.
Excellent job explaining the practicalities of MSM coverage of politics: they have their horse, and they back it; everything else is thrown under the rug.
“There is a permanent majority called Democrats, a ceremonial opposition called Republican and the goal is to prevent the majority of citizens from getting any say. The results last night suggest they still have some work to do.” But even if the citizens do get their say via voting for their chosen figurehead, it does all really seem in vain. And probably has been for a couple of decades. When Trump succeeded in 2016, he pointed out a few bits, and as many here will agree, showed The System up for what it is; but, on-the-whole, the whole System still… Read more »
You should have stopped at 5. Because the cost of living crisis is very real and will likely get far worse. This is something people genuinely care about.
Fighting climate change hysteria is probably something people should care about too. It is being used as an excuse to further impoverish us. Just wait till you’re paying 1 Dollar or more a kWh and forced to take the bus everywhere. Plus you have shovel all your snow because snow blowers that actually work offend Gaia!!!
All of this is amusing, but it does not change this: The United States is in the process of collapsing worse than that of the Soviet Union. For example, even their steel production never dropped to the same level of production it had in 1902, and their industrial products weren’t made from cheap, third rate parts MADE IN RED CHINA. Case in point- has anyone been to a Harley Davidson dealership lately and seen ANYTHING not made in China or Vietnam? Now don’t think that for one second these people who control this country and who destroyed it will go… Read more »
Yes, America is in the latter stages of collapse, with all-out looting by the in crowd, a catastrophic spiraling on debt, a fake President, and a weak military trying to fight wars all over the planet…
Sauve qui peut….
The US is actively supporting the Zionists in Israel with money, infinite weapons, targeting data, communication intercepts, etc to commit genocide.
“The Democrats don’t have foreign enemies. They have foreigners who remind them of their domestic enemies.”
Make you think, as we see hordes of young men are encouraged to flood our borders by the millions.
At the very least bet Francis Fukuyama is getting a little embarrassed. I’m of two minds about an imminent collapse. Lot of ruin in a nation. We have plenty of food and energy resources if push comes to shove. It could well stagger on. On the other hand if supply chains get disrupted or the electrical grid goes down… Americans are fat and lazy, but a couple of missed meals and a frosty ass could get ugly. The blood tends to tell.
I comfort myself a little remembering there are about 15MM hunters in the US, which is probably 10X the number of fighting forces the Feds could assemble. Throw in other armed citizens and we are easily 100X larger. But yes, it would take missed meals for them to engage.
We make very few power grid parts in America anymore, as well as parts for about anything else. When this sucker goes down there will be very little getting repaired, and old “heritage” items will go for top dollar. The old stuff that can be repaired easily is what will keep on working.
I advise people to buy a few old style center draft kerosene lamps and keep them fixed up. I suspect when The Unraveling hits full speed, there will be many blackouts lasting long periods.
Again grimly smiling as I read the opening paragraph;”yes! Rodents, that’s the relevant biology here!” lol
