There is an old expression in politics that roughly says the most successful politicians are blessed with the right enemies. William Weld, a long time Massachusetts politician, was enormously gifted, until alcoholism got the better of him. He could have reshaped state politics and become a national figure, but he ran into the far wilier Billy Bulger at the local level and the more powerful duo of John Kerry and Ted Kennedy at the national level, so he never lived up to his promise.
We seem to be seeing the opposite with Donald Trump, who has better political instincts than most seasoned professionals, even though his only political experience was at the very top of the game eight years ago. Imagine a fighter stepping into the ring for the first time and the opponent is the reigning world champion. Then imagine that guy winning, and you see the enormity of 2016. Since then, the system has thrown everything at the man, and he is still going.
The main reason Trump continues to move toward the Republican nomination and a general election rematch is he is blessed with the best enemies. The two Federal court cases are now stalled indefinitely. In both cases, the reason for the delay is the chief inquisitor appointed by the Biden administration is proving to be an incompetent fanatic who cannot stop lying to the court. In the most recent example, he was forced to admit the FBI tampered with evidence and lied about it.
A smarter, more sober minded prosecutor would have used the process to tangle Trump up in a myriad of potential scandals that both drained his resources and created a black cloud over his campaign. Instead, the deranged Jack Smith thought he could get into a street fight with a guy who prefers street fights. In the fullness of time, Jack Smith will be remembered as one of Trump’s dumbest adversaries. The guy has managed to turn the power of the Federal government into a liability.
Then we have the locals who seem to have been drawn from central casting if central casting is located at the diversity department of a mental asylum. In Georgia, Fani Willis turned herself into a living argument against affirmative action. In New York, Alvin Bragg has managed to make a sham trial into a daily platform for Trump to do what he does best, which is walking around New York City, sweet talking the locals, who line up every day to see The Man fight the man.
The question is where will all of this lead. It is a mortal lock that Trump is convicted of whatever it is they claim he did wrong. It is also a guarantee that the third world judge sentences Trump to jail time. He has threatened Trump with jail over Trump talking publicly about the court case. This judge is stupid and insane, so we are most likely going to see a situation in which the Secret Service faces off with the State of New York about how to jail a former president.
It remains to be seen how this plays with the public, but no one in power actually cares about public opinion. They just use it as a fig leaf. It is safe to assume that the people running the Republican Party would love to dump Trump, so this might be their chance to remove him from the ballot. The trouble is, that means the end of the party and even the dullards of Conservative Inc should be able to see it. Then again, “conservative” is just the long spelling of “retarded.”
This is where Trump’s luck may come into play. The guy thrives on chaos and what will happen this summer with regards to the nomination is chaos. In other words, his opponents are creating for him the conditions in which he does best. By doing nothing more than existing, he will put party leadership in a vice. One jaw is defending him against rogue state courts and the other jaw is the people who call the shots in Washington, demanding the party remove him from the ballot.
It gets better, or at least more amusing. Joe Biden is clearly a mess physically and mentally, which will not get better with time. The other day he was leaving the White House, and it appears he soiled his diaper. Even former NFL players are laughing about Biden’s physical and mental health problems. Biden’s growing incoherence will not be helped by black sports stars making diaper jokes about him. The precious black vote follows the lead of their black stars.
The solution to the Biden problem is to remove him from the ballot at the convention and swap in someone new. Biden is told to stand aside at the convention, maybe have him deliver one last speech in which he “graciously” steps aside for someone new, who then picks a running mate that is not the butt of jokes. In other words, the solution to the Biden problem might be the chaos option. Upend the whole race at the last-minute hoping that something good arises from the chaos.
None of this should lead anyone to think Trump will win the general election or be allowed to assume office. The people in charge have other more effective ways to block Trump if these efforts fail. The way to bet right now is that the Republican Party removes Trump from the ballot at the convention, as he will be sitting in a jail somewhere in New York or maybe under house arrest. Even so, that will be just one log on the bonfire of chaos that is coming.
In the end, Trump is lucky in that he is getting exactly what he needs to thrive politically, but what he is, and always has been, is a wrecking ball. His role in the late empire political process is to fulfill another old expression, those whom God wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason. Trump makes the managerial class insane, which results in chaos, the thing on which Trump feeds. That cycle of chaotic madness is now heading to a climax this summer.

A real upside to these judicial clown shows has been to reveal the American legal system as the vulgar and corrupt disgrace it is. Just as Normie clung to Muh Military until it became a trainwreck consumed in a dumpster fire (and, yes, many still do so albeit tenuously), there was an undue religious faith placed in the legal system. That too is ending quite rapidly. Rule by brute force has been the coin of the realm at least since Trump descended on the escalator and said bad, horrible, and true things about the United States. This will get worse… Read more »
The downside, as always, is the clowns running these transparent shitshows also have control of nuclear weapons and very well may use them
Sometimes wonder if that would be worse than what we have now…
It’s really hard to tell sometimes, Lineman. If only we could select the recipients of the radiation…
Yea that would be nice Brother…
“Sometimes wonder if that [nuclear war] would be worse…”
I last read seriously about nuclear war when I was 12 (1962). Then I bought Anne Jacobson’s new book.
Pro tip: It hasn’t gotten better in the past 62 years. In fact, it’s gotten a lot worse. Eating rats in the basement while being shelled is better – a lot better.
So is what we have.
Happy for us, they may not work do to tritium decay, parts issues and the “secret sauce” were were formally missing code named fog bank is a new variant we’ve never tested with a real nuke
And yet it’s entirely possible the SC will pick Trump’s chestnuts from the fire and allow him to at least appear on the general election ballot, at which point he’ll be cheated out of his victory again. The SC, despite the presence of a few diversifreaks, has shown a nasty streak of independence from the power structure and the ability to conduct its business fairly rationally.
The “nasty streak of independence” emerged only after the justices realized they are targets and will remain so for the rest of their lives, even the uber cucks. If they were to be convinced, delusionally, that they no longer are doomed, they would revert to form.
I don’t understand what you’re saying.
They got religion only after the Left targeted them. It has nothing to do with principle.
Guys like Thomas and Alito had religion long before the mobs formed. What’s more, logically, the threat of violence would compel justices to behave irrationally not rationally. That is the purpose of attempted intimidation.
I will give you Alito and Thomas. Obama criticized the former to his face during the SOTU address and Roberts said nothing. He did, of course, respond when Trump referred to “Obama judges.” Threats of violence focus the mind on self-preservation rather than virtue-signaling, and that’s what is playing out with the others. It is totally rational.
But for public figures, virtue signaling IS self preservation. To do otherwise is to court–so to speak–misery.
They have figured out virtue-signaling will not save them now. The Regime, taking its cue from its dominant/near-dominant Tribal faction, never forgives and always seeks revenge, even when doing so is counter-productive. When Garland refused to protect the justices from the SJW terrorists, they apparently understood virtue-signaling is insufficient. The “nasty streak of independence” you earlier referenced is an acknowledgement of this. Green shoot there, maybe.
Well, if you’re screwed no matter what you do, then you would presumably just stick to your guns. In other words, attempts at intimidation should logically have no effect whatsoever.
It seems to me this is an Occam’s razor situation. The streak of independence is simply a case of several SC justices not yet being absorbed into the power structure.
So true…and regardless of political leanings, all the Justices resent the threats against individual justices like Clarence Thomas….
Trump has an outstanding record in cases before the SC. So, you may well be right. I think they’ll try to delay trials and bog things down rather than create new precedent. They hate new precedent. Early Lawfare efforts in 2017/18 consisted of filing waves of lawsuits to block Trump on things like the stay in Mexico policy, the pipelines, etc. Those all failed at the high court. They slowed him down for a couple of years, but they were unable to stop him in the end. Biden is doing so badly that there might not be enough ballots to… Read more »
Regime awareness and delegitimization are definitely good and should be booming with the Trump show trials and other things
I agree and frequently use the term delegitimize. That’s what the Zero GOP effort is about. Sure, destroying them would be fun. But what it really does is remove the legitimacy of the regime by refusing to participate in a scam.
Yes, the (misplaced) mainstream faith in our legal system has been torn to shreds…As an attorney, I would add that in many States, the non-political cases heard by lower level courts (or preferably arbitrators) are mostly legit, although these courts are often staffed by political hacks…
As a non-attorney, my guess is vanishingly few are legit. The courts long ago set the standard of violation of a legal right, harm and redressability, yet most tend to lack one or both of the first, and, with administrative law, none of it is legit.
For example, if you cannot find a single person who was harmed by another’s refusal to wear a seat belt, you do not have a justicible case. All such not thrown out are unjust.
Off topic— I’m back in the States after several months abroad. Depressing. It hit me as soon as I got to the airport and congregated with the other Americans boarding. Large and rotund people shambling about. I had been in a sea of relatively fit people and in places where women were somewhere between average and stunningly hot for the most part for many months. Once I got Stateside I was greeted by the sullen grumpy faces of minorities again. Looking at you as if they are doing you a favor for doing the jobs they are paid for. This… Read more »

#DontCallMeMurzyn: Black Women in Poland Are Powering the Campaign Against a Racial Slur
https://www.yahoo.com/news/dontcallmemurzyn-black-women-poland-powering-162536784.html
As ghastly as AINO is, it’s heartening to know there are some white lands that have not yet been swamped by the dismal tide.
I’d like to hear more about where you went and whether you plan to go back. I get downvoted around here a lot for suggesting that the best course for most of us is to emigrate as soon as practicable. I’ve been looking at Argentina or maybe some places in Asia, but parts of Europe could be interesting.
Likewise Guest. I have a friend who’d like to know.
If they’ll let you in (questionable), and if you don’t mind the cold, I might suggest Russia
If that’s your aim, you’d best start bonin’ up on your Rooskii.
Yeah that’s one of their requirements, that you are at least somewhat conversant
Russia is a tough place to be. Too tough for most Americans, who are used to an environment where rules are followed by them and also those around them (except “minorities”).
If you are being persecuted, you have no property and no family here, then leaving may be a good option. For the rest, if you can acquire land/property and put it to use in service of our people here, that is the best thing to do or to work on homeschooling or local American/European civics education. Even if you get one person to the cultural life boat, it is worth it. If we just leave, we forfeit. Now is the time to dig in roots, but of course dig them in where they are safer on a relative basis. I… Read more »
P.S. Let it bother you, and bother you a lot. But never show them that it bothers you. Oh. Railline thin Djibouti-boli model in H&M ad? Avert my eyes. I’ve got my eyes on a bigger prize – the real land in the real world with whomever of my real folk are with me.
Let’s dig in. This is only just beginning.
For my comment on this. Remember, Ukraine is going to fall and maybe this summer. When that happens add a lot more chaos to the melting pot.
The lack of self-awareness in that ad to pick someone so stunningly ugly boggles the mind.
I’m currently in Montenegro for just four days. Since then I saw a “mars colony” type luxury hotel complex with a Jewish synagogue and cultural center, a super yacht of some Jewish billionaire anchored at port and even two Jews on my tourist boat trip. Something is going on there…
Montenegro is one of those places that are very different when you are a tourist from when you actually have to live there.
How do you know the yacht’s owner is a Finkel?
You can look up pretty much any big boat on the web:

I see. I guess there are SOME compensations to being a billionaire…
I get why people are conflicted. It does appear lame to simply leave, but either RealityRules (also commenting below) remembers my story or is simply intuitive. I had a -lot- of criminal charges slapped on me the last time I took the “stand & fight” method in the DC area. My life was blown to pieces because they wanted to make it clear how easily they can do that for even perceived slights against the new god known as DEI. My situation warranted a very radical new start. In either case, whether you leave our shores or remain here, there… Read more »
Swiss salaries generally match American or are even higher, but the cost of living is very high too and the whole country is one large HOA. Slovenia is one of the easier countries to adapt to for Americans – clean, well organized, generally nice people and not as poor are the other post-communist countries. It also has a cheap residency by investment program. The only downside is lack of a serious international airport and of some big city conveniences. Croatia, Hungary and Slovakia are “based”, but even there, the cities are seeing in influx of turd world invaders, especially over… Read more »
Emigrated 26 years ago. Argentina has great promise, but being at least fluent in Spanish is a must, particularly if you wish to avoid cities. .
If you are young, yes. If you are raising a family or planning to, yes. If you are a fourth generation guy rooted in a region as I am (western NY), who knows the people, the towns, the geography, and the history as I do, this is where I will die. Emigration for me means retreat, and abandonment of what I love. Going to Argentina or Europe or Arkansas for that matter, would make me rootless and, well, pointless. Socrates not drinking the hemlock…
I know nothing about Western NY, other than it is west of Eastern NY. But I wish you the best. Hope you can help save your little slice of what used to be a free state.
TV full of black faces
It’s become absolutely farcical. Every time I look at a tv screen or see an online ad it’s as if we’re living in Sierra Leone. A Martian intercepting Western broadcasts would conclude the North American landmass was inhabited by a population 75% black.
I lived and worked in West Africa, a place once called the White Man’s grave mostly because of diseases like Malaria.
Now I find myself back home, a place which could even more aptly called The White Man’s grave. How many years before none of us are left? Not because of any disease, but due to suicide.
But, miserably, there are non-blacks that still watch TV.
Apex: Fair winds and following seas.
Apex, I’ve had the same experience without leaving the country. I used to pheasant, grouse, quail and chukar hunt and it took me to the Great Plains, west Texas and the mountain and desert west. This was about 10 years ago before everything went to hell, but I still noticed in rural and small-town USA how you could go for an entire trip without seeing a dusky face. I didn’t so much notice at the time but on the way home and after getting home it was like I saw how much better life was in the places I had… Read more »
Yep.
The next step is to improve on those places. They lack reasons for the youth to stay. Anyone who is retired, or close to retired, or even fairly well set can easily set up a business there whose sole point is to break even. If you aren’t pulling a salary, it’s easy to make pretty much anything work.
Not just for boomers. Even down into mid-millenials, maybe even later, for those who saved like mad.
If only it were just democrat whites…
They won’t remove Biden. Keeping him in the race is still the safest option for them and most entertaining for us. He will die in the office, after a long series of embarrassing incidents and he will get the fanciest state funeral in history, with dancing drag queens and blaring rap music.
Naah. The Regime will claim Biden is still alive and arrest and torture anyone who says otherwise.
Too many people are taking their cut from the Biden scam to let him leave office!
I sometimes wonder whether installing Biden – and sticking with him – is a humiliation ritual, the same way Caligula pronounced his horse consul.
“Kneel before your drooling, diaper-shitting overlord, goy!”
It’s a humiliation ritual if you still believe in the system – voting, democracy, the alleged freedoms, constitution etc.
For everybody else, it’s morbid entertainment.
Trump is walking into a stupid trap of his own making with the VP pick. There are (supposedly) no White males on the short list, just blacks and women. Mark Dice made this claim yesterday. The women are retarded and the blacks are black. This is the one thing Trump can do where I will stay home and not vote for him. It’s bad enough we’ll have to listen to 4 more years of his daily rambling about the unemployment of every demographics except White men. To get this lecture from some dumb affirmative action pick is just too much.
Absolutely. No more proxies. No more pandering. You are on our side or you are on your own.
With friends like conservatives, who needs enemies?
“Biden is told to stand aside at the convention, maybe have him deliver one last speech in which he “graciously” steps aside for someone new…’
Don’t see it. You’re forgetting that it would have to get past DR JILL & that ain’t gonna happen; she loves the trappings of the WH too much + the heir apparent is Chlamydia Harris & no way in hell they can dump her without enraging the black women vote. The window is gone; they’re stuck with Poopy Pants.
Dr Jill has Hillary level clout?
😂😂😂
Dr. Jill probably has one of the palace-intrigue factions backing her and using her influence on Joe as leverage. How strong this faction might be, I can’t guess. But certainly she is a factor in the struggles.
All Jill Biden would have to do is slide a piece of paper in front of Joe and tell him to sign it. On the paper?
“Jack Smith is fired. The DOJ is ordered to drop all charges against PDJT.”
The Biden’s cannot be bought off on this one. And they can do a lot of damage to Democrats if the Democrats try to remove him against the Biden Family’s wishes.
Edith Wilson spent months doing exactly that.
Interestingly, Hillary is the only one who I could see pulling it off. Maybe she even keeps Kamala as VP. Sets up the Great Rematch with Trump, which all the Karens would love.
Her own health may not be good, but it’s got to be better than Biden’s.
Well old Joe doesn’t suffer from obesity.
Instead of Heels Up, perhaps the Hildebeeste lassoes Big Mike as her veep?
I think she has osteoporosis, congestive heart disease, and neural degeneration.
My heart goes out to her. It really, really does.
**sniffle, sniffle**
Clinton is still in exile.
Hillary is out. Deep pockets, sure, but not what she was, especially with her probable health issues. Dr. Jill is Dr. Landy, and I have no doubt she has made powerful connections and has powerful backers.
There’s also the fact that still, after 4 years of utter disappointment, Mr. Poopy Pants polls better against Trump than all other options.
At this point, people are voting for the potted plant with D or R in front of it. Normie Dems vote for the same reason Normie Cons vote: at least X is not Y. Trump has transcended conservative politics because he is both R and treats the enemy like Rush Limbaugh did. All subsequent R candidates will have to be embodiments of aggressive conservative talk radio, or at least play assertive on TV while cucking behind closed doors. But just wait until the D’s find an alpha who’ll give R’s the business. There is probably one out there: comically left-wing… Read more »
Harris is not popular with blacks.
1) She married a Jew
2) She’s not really black
3) She sent up a lot of brothers for weed
I think the replace-Biden thing has been discussed quite a lot on the D side. They have multiple problems with that, not least of which is they have no viable candidates. They tried putting Newsom on a stage with DeSantis which is like pitting two single-A baseball players against each other in a charity softball game. Newsom really hasn’t been visible much since then. If you can’t handle DeSantis, Trump will murder you. Big Mike hates everything about this country, which conveniently includes all politicians as well, so she’s not going to do it. That leaves…NOBODY! They quite literally have… Read more »
The Democratic party is still reaping what it sowed from when it cleared the decks to make way for Her
Point of order here: DeSantis may not
have Trump’s charisma, but he’s an OG governor with balls of steel. My only issue is he seems to be bought off by powerful tribe members.
There are more things to consider than just the political situation in the coming months. Who knows, maybe the silos get flushed in the near future due to overwhelming incompetence of our so called world leaders. Everyone likes the line about how some unforeseen event wasn’t on their bingo card.
I wonder what the Fates have in store for us that is not on any of our bingo cards.
I am generally in team nothing ever happens, but I am also in team eventually everything happens. Sometimes, everything happens all at once.
I am on Team Everything Is Happening at Once, because it is.
I’m on team everything is happening, but is in such slow motion that it doesn’t look like it is. As a GenX’er like the Zman, I grew up with end of the world scenarios in which everything was fine at 8AM, but by 5PM it was live-action Mad Max. “The Morning After” and “Threads” and all that. But it seems like instead, we’re on the slow boat to chaos, with plenty of ups and downs, false starts, recoveries and slumps along the way. But the trend line is clear – every step forward ends up in two steps back. Bob… Read more »
Yes. A case in point is the ongoing Great Resorting. The United States is fragmenting and dissolving slowly as populations move to more compatible areas, governors distance themselves from D.C., and so forth. Until recently that has been glacial. It picked up with Covid, but it is one of many things underway that is so slow it is difficult to appreciate the significance.
The upside to that is that Third World reality means the BFE will no longer have the technological wherewithal to annihilate all life on the planet. The catch, of course, is that technological degradation must outpace elite descent into madness. I’m not confident that will happen.
You’ll know the Empire has fallen the first time some foreign country that passed gay “marriage” under intense Imperial pressure reverses itself.
Excellent benchmark.
Import the third world, become the third world.
California!
I wonder what the Fates have in store for us that is not on any of our bingo cards.
Don Rumsfeld on line 2 for you.
Midge, would you tell him I will call him back.
Thanks so much for that. Having a bad day, and being reminded that she is dead always brings a ray of sunshine….
The Big Picture. The end game is the imposition of a techno-tyranny. It was on schedule until Trump won in 2016, and now it’s been accelerated due to his continued popularity. Which is where the problem arises for the Deep State. They were counting on a slow boil to keep the transition violence to a minimum, and now it must get messy (and iffy). The jackboot corps is not yet in place as Congress has yet to absorb the illegals into the military and Federal police. And when the 2024 election is obviously stolen, a lot of real insurrection is… Read more »
Islamocrats. Keep an eye on Michigan and Minnesota where it’s already happening. The UK is even more advanced. North Africa and the Anatolian peninsula are centuries farther ahead.
Don’t forget Cartel along the border states. They are professional, organized, wealthy, and handmaidens to both the governments and the banks.
On the bright side are small White movements such as the Southern Christian Patriots, Mormon Natalists, and Christian Nationalists, as well as organic markets like the preppers and off-grid. Those are budding attempts by whites to organize in preparation.
The independent livestock, farm, and trade associations too, as nationally organized with a long history. There is where I see the most well-developed potential of “by us, for us.” And I must recognize the efforts by local political orgs.
I thought your insurgency comment was moonshine until you mentioned the economy collapsing. If that happens the ball might start rolling yes. And it could happen. Huge segments of the economy are pure fantasy at this point and increasingly mathematically incongruent
Yes indeed. The University system in particular is in for a big bubble burst. Many of those bloated institutions of pure indoctrination are going to go bankrupt when enrollment craters. And who is going to buy those Treasury bonds when the dollar is usurped by a new BRICS currency backed by gold? There’s a lot of repressed anger boiling under the surface, and when it releases, it’s not going to be pretty.
The closest comparison to 2024 is 1860. Lincoln wasn’t on the ballot in many Southern states (sound familiar to CO, ME, and other states that tried to remove Trump?). He won the EC and the South seceded. The most likely outcome of 2024 is Trump wins, and the US Government secedes along with NY, WA, OR, CA, IL and some other deep blue states. IOW, the bureaucracy refuses to obey the President. States declare their independence. CA signs a mutual defense treaty with China in exchange for basing rights in San Diego, LA, and SFO.

Heh! ‘Outdoor defecation’ is becoming quite the rage all over the Commonwealth countries!
You know, it makes me think. If they brought in Indians to manage the Africans in Africa, maybe that’s why they’re bringing them here, too.
Remember that “free bleeding” astroturf campaign that was started by some smartass anti-feminists a few years back and led to hilarious (and gross) videos? Can we start something similar for Biden Poopy-Pants? Shit your pants for Democracy! SYPD!
The Soviets revenge? Didn’t they have their own ‘Joe Biden’ before they collapsed?
The USSR had a couple of older stars take office and promptly die. This gave impetus for the Central Committee to nominate a relative youngster, Gorbachev. Similar thing happen in the Catholic Church with John Paul II taking the papacy.
The Soviets had Cernenko, followed by Andropov, both of whom were old, unwell and did not last long. Then along came Gorbachev and he accelerated the decline that ended the Soviet Union.
No one thinks Trump is on it? In some way ? Or it is not what it appears to be? Back in the day I was talking with my dad about Obama, and it came to me that no great country would ever have Obama as president. So we backed into the conclusion, oh geez, then maybe we aren’t a great country. Time has certainly borne this out, and Obama was a symptom or manifestation of its decline. But aside from that, a similar logic might apply here. Everyone is saying that no man could ever endure what Trump is… Read more »

Whenever some political person or situation arises some can’t understand it’s always dismissed as “controlled opposition.”
Can we try a little harder?
We’re not dismissing him as controlled opposition. We’re asking why he’s been allowed to get this far given his apparent nature as HitlerStalinFrancoMussoliniSatan to the governing class of the US and the world. Heritage Foundation and hundreds of current and former GOP Hill staffers, lobbyists, and consultants are busy preparing for Trump’s presidency as we speak. Legislation is being drawn up, transition teams chosen — very little reporting is being done on this in conservative circles, to give the impression that he’s the Lone Gunman once again. But he’s not. If the guy were truly a pariah and truly seeking… Read more »
Trump was a faithful servant of the Swamp while in office, so why wouldn’t guys like Rubio and Scott support him?

What’s implied is that it might not be as it seems since the odds of any one man being able to endure that are pretty close to zero. Unless Trump is a one in a billion type of superstar. That’s what we are left to conclude. That he is a man of the ages who stood up to the largest government machine in the history of man and won. I think Trump is certainly a special person, but I do not think he is a man for the… Read more »
Trump was born in 1946, the first of the Boomers, and he retains faith in the system. He remains very much a Normie despite his wealth and fame. There are millions like him, and that trust is endearing even if wildly misplaced. In other words, he’s not “in on it.” My main concern is if the actual TPTB allow him to return to office, they will use him as a Judas goat to try to lure young white men back into military service, lull normal people back to sleep, and to be left holding the bag when they implode the… Read more »
This judge in New York, he’s been an “acting judge” since 2009. Trump repeatedly refers to this as a “fake trial.” And it appears the other trials will not conclude before the election. It’s absolutely possible Trump is in on this. The foremost reason I have for this belief is that if Trump were a mortal danger to the DC class, he would have been eliminated sometime in 2021 when his star was at its nadir and the country was still consumed with vaccine fever. That he’s been allowed this far — very far, for Hitler Part Two — should… Read more »
It certainly cannot be ruled out. For all of the cloud people hate against Trump, one thing is certain. When Netanyahu tells Trump to jump, he will respond: How high?
So Trump has his mind right when it comes to the group actually in control.
Correction: when Bibi tells Trump to spread his cheeks, he will respond: How wide?
True. Also, how else will Trump and his son-in law make money on all of the beachfront condos in Gaza after all of the unpleasantness is over?
You are asking the wrong question. If you aren’t trying to figure out how you can make money on the beachfront condos on what you presumably think is a sure thing, we lose.
Simple as.
True. I should have added IF Trump was elected.
I read an interview with the then-president of Exxon. He happened to be Mexican-American, so at that time he had almost certainly earned his way up.
He dealt with the most venal, corrupt people in power all over the world. One just learns to ignore whatever the local issues are and get on with business.
I’m certain a Reagan Democrat like Trump- that’s the New York attitude- sees things the same way. What we continually forget to remember is the difference between Trump the man and Trump the symbol.
I plan on voting for Trump the symbol. If he’s not on the ballot I’ll write him in. Hell, just to sow chaos, I may write him in for multiple offices. Perhaps others will do the same. Will Trump end up as Sheriff, Dogcatcher, and state senator in 37 different places? We can only hope. There’s never been a better way to vote “no confidence” for the entire political establishment. I think Z was talking about this in the show last Friday. What if Trump wins the election but the overall Republican Party implodes? It’s not just “popcorn time” but… Read more »
The solution to the Biden problem is to remove him from the ballot at the convention and swap in someone new.
It’s even worse. They’re stuck with Biden. Harris isn’t going quietly. She hasn’t come this far to let her ambition be thwarted, inches from the throne. Her faction knows all precedent and custom demand the VP take top slot if Biden “steps aside for the good of the nation.” The fight to remove her could make factional rivalry in DC explode.
I heard too that there are state issues involved too, laws to prevent exactly what Z thinks the parties will do. Now, the law being what it is, these would be brushed aside in most places, but not all.
We’re (probably) talking national politics, but here’s a tale of illin’ in Illinois:
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/brazen-election-interference-illinois-democrats-retroactively-change-law-knock-out
All it would take is for Jill Biden to whisper, “Say, ‘no thank-you’,” in Joe’s ear and the convention descends into anarchy. The thing consistently showing up in polls is that Trump is the Return to Normalcy candidate, believe it or not. And, he’s viewed as the successful President of the two. Imagine that.
I agree, they’re stuck with Biden. RFK Jr. is the mule to siphon votes from Biden which makes the vote rigging harder to pull off. You need millions of legitimate votes to camouflage the fake votes.
The problem with Trump is he doesn’t want to govern. The man is not interested in legislation or advancing an agenda. He merely likes to be called Mr. President and play golf. Remember he added $8 Trillion to the debt and refuses to cut spending. His leadership during Covid was awful. He allowed the states to lock us down. He did nothing during the riots. The reality is he tells the MAGA supporters what they want to hear. He doesn’t actual care about regular people. Look at the people at his private clubs, they don’t look like the people at… Read more »
Well, his private clubs are a business. Regular people couldn’t afford them.
Trump allowed the states governors propper latitude.
It’s called federalism.
Had he tried to over rule the governors you’d be sitting here calling him Hitler. You don’t get it both ways. You’re not going to slide calling something Trump did correctly, and by the rule of law, a mistake or a failure.
I do not disagree with a single thing you wrote about Trump. He wasn’t a very good president. I voted for him in 2016 in hopes that he would be. In 2020 I had no illusions. In 2024 I will vote for him because there is no better way to tell the elites “F*** You!”
His biggest contribution was handing the blax the “platinum plan”, a new act to let them out of jail and pardoning rappers. Truth be told, Trump did nothing for Whites other than not openly stating he hates them.
“Look at the people at his private clubs, they don’t look like the people at a Trump Rally.”
There’s a message in that sentence, but it’s not the one you intended.
When Trump got elected I remember Scott Adams said in 6 months he’ll be normalized. I put it in my calendar to remind to look around and see if it were true. Nope these people are so crazy it is unbelievable. And if anyone hasn’t seen Scott Adams new video you should take a gander.
Scott Adams expressed his “love” for Israel in his latest video, but his behavior during and shortly after the “pandemic” will not be forgotten.
It doesn’t matter where you once were, or we would all be forgotten. What is important is where you are now. This is existential.
It definitely does matter who was pushing the vaxx and harassed anybody who expressed skepticism about the “pandemic”. This whole affair was the biggest criminal act of our lifetimes.
That’s right. He realized that he had been betrayed, and that his former loyalties had tried to kill him.
The clip where he’s furious with Republicans for passing speech/thought control laws at the behest of the Israel and it’s sock puppet/attack dog the ADL?
That was fun.
Everyone is starting to notice certain things and think certain thoughts once thought beyond the pale (including me).
The first thing anyone like Adams needs to do is apologize for being wrong his whole goddamn life about immigration. I worked in immigration reform for 20 years, and was on the Buchanan campaign as a volunteer in 1992 and a staffer in 1996. In the 1990s we got a more honest hearing from liberals on the issue of immigration than conservatives, who were still dumping tons of dirt on Buchanan’s political grave for being “racist” and “xenophobic” and “anti-Semitic.” I don’t care any longer. I put up with decades of abuse from white guys like Adams for fighting for… Read more »
A lot of our present troubles can be laid at the feet of a certain people who went beyond the Pale — of Settlement 😏
Unz’s piece is in my opinion one of his best, and I’ve read a few.

While I wait for approval, the issue that should concern power players and us is “what comes after” Trump in jail and removed from the ballot, or worse? Do we get the trial-ballooned draft and wartime production draft? Do we get reparations? Do we get CBDC? Strict rationing? Illegal aliens as impressment gangs per Ukraine’s roving teams dragging men off the street? Populations will put up with stuff … until suddenly they won’t. Usually rulers don’t see that coming. The Regime is dangerous because they have only one speed and direction. They don’t take feedback and have already thrown away… Read more »
Compromise is possible. Mike Johnson will push for $1 million a year per white person reparations and they could meet somewhere in the middle.
The regime has a massive white person problem. Regardless of overall percentage or immigration, there are 200 million white people in the United States of Germanic descent. More white people of Spanish & Portuguese descent classified as Hispanic. Contrary to their idealized world of TV commercials, we aren’t going anywhere. And that’s a huge issue for them. Even at the current rate of decline with interracial marriages, low birth rates, and opioid deaths, there will still be what, 120 million white Americans by 2100? We aren’t illiterate, helpless Russian peasants like in the Bolshevik Revolution. We aren’t like modern Ukrainians,… Read more »
Trump praying for the conviction and possible jailing. Think of the rebranding: The Orange Mandela.
I’ve copyrighted.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Trump is the best president we’ve had since Eisenhower, and for pretty much the same reason (political outsider, used to wrestling with scumbags). Now that is less a ringing endorsement of Trump, then a severe condemnation of the clowns who have been presidents in the interim. As to the coming chaos: we could be at one of those moments in history where everything hinges on the most unimaginable set of circumstances. Vary just a little bit one way, it’s to the ruin of all; the other way, a new flowering of… Read more »
Eisenhower solid you skipped past Reagan. I know our esteemed host doesn’t like him.
However Z is my age, so he should remember life was damn good in the 80’s. Reagan pulled us out of the 70’s doldrums.
And flooded the country with Mexicans and other little brown goblins. The California BigAg Lobby needed enough cheap beaners to cut costs after all, innit? The Gipper’s legend outstrips reality methinks…
You’re a fucking liar apex dipshit.
You must piss your pants with fear and lust when some hunky hunk glances your way, Ninnywet.
Well he is saying “best since.” With US presidents, it’s like saying tallest pygmy.
Right, if the members of the Senate decided to have a basketball game, one of them would be the best player, but it doesn’t mean any of them are good.
On the other hand, if the Senate decided to hold a tranny dance-off, every dam’ one of them would be All-Star caliber.
Reagan is number 3 due primarily for getting taken for a ride on the amnesty issue. Now Trump also got taken for a helluva ride on the Covid scam, but his performance as the opposition the last few years makes it look like he may have learned a lesson. If he wins, his subsequent actions will show one way or the other.
Winning is the easy part. It’s what comes next that is going to be hard. At the time, I called early 2017 a “Government Party Civil War” because you had the US Government (Trump’s employees, basically) in open political warfare trying to overturn the election results. If Trump prevails in 2024, you’re going to see the US Government (in the form of bureaucrats) secede from the country. They will simply refuse to comply. The question for Trump is “What are you prepared to do?” Because he’s going to have to gut the Government like a bonefish with a dull knife.… Read more »
Cancel security clearances, stop pay, lock doors, block access to government computer systems, cancel contracts. They are civil servants not the Borg.
In addition to Reagan’s amnesty of illegals, he also appointed Neoconservative William Bennett to Secretary of Education over the guy the Paleocons supported, Mel Bradford. This was a key moment for the Neocons taking over the Republican party. Reagan let them get a foothold that increased when Bush Sr. took office.
Damm, that’s right. As the head of HCA Columbia arch-criminal Bill Bennett destroyed healthcare long before Obama, and his subsequent “Drug-Free America” sinecures under Bush were part of that lawless destruction. He was the PATRIOT Act years before there was a PATRIOT Act.
Eisenhower murdered German citizens and was a war criminal. I’ll take a pass on him.
That’s like saying OJ wasn’t a great running back becsuse he killed two ppl.
General / president two different posts / performances.
Reagn is dead, he doesn’t ned to you fan his bawls in EVERY zman thread. Maybe limt yourself to Reagan Rumpwashing to one thread a day?
Eisenhower also proposed the first Civil Rights Act in 1957, and marched White teens at bayonet point when he pushed feral negroes into our safe schools.
And thereby reanimating Reconstruction, and all of the wonderful memories associated with that quintessentially Republican policy toward racial realism. Whoo hoo.
Well, German citizens cooked people in ovens and starved many more to death while launching V2 rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas. So, we’ll just have to call it even.
Scott Adams seems really upset about the conservatives. Once again the Republicans managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

To me, looking at ol’ Dilbert is like looking in the mirror. I used to be nice to blacks, smile and believe in the judeochristian narrative and one day I got mugged by reality and my world turned upside down. Once you see the matrix, you can’t unsee it.
The argument that Trump has to important Wall Street people, such as JPM’s Dimon, whoever runs things at Berkshire Hathaway, Bill Ackman, Daniel Loeb etc. is that he is a reformer capable of putting a blanket on the chaos that threatens them. A Wartime footing would destroy all the investments in consumer goods, as well as Chinese investments going to zero, as well as everyone not named BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard seeing their portfolios/wealth/power evaporate. Along with pressure from the Gaza brigade / Soros / State / CIA against them. The “Fancy” group like Larry Fink has no worries,… Read more »
A Whiskey comment with a touch of optimism. I never! You give too much credit to the elites: It’s too fashionable to hate Trump and they despise the dirt people too much to act in their own self interest. Besides, all the Deep State government stooges will never, never allow Trump to be a position to push their fat worthless asses away from the trough. All those monied interests may be able to buy off congressmen and maybe the secretaries of some minor executive departments, but they will never pry the snouts of the Deep State and bureaucracy away from… Read more »
I think it’s more of a question of whether some portion of the (((deep state))) wants to make a deal with Trump to save themselves, while keeping their nose in the trough
Really, you’d think they would have thought of it earlier. I believe Ukraine was the reason they didn’t. But perhaps now that they are seeing that victory is unattainable…..
“I think it’s more of a question of whether some portion of the (((deep state))) wants to make a deal with Trump to save themselves, while keeping their nose in the trough”

“You’re gonna need a bigger trough…”
The plan Trump seems to offer is to get out of the escalation pattern with Putin / Ukraine and fall back. This allows the MiC to make money without risk that they would get with what amounts to a very hot war with Russia and China. The problem the elites have is constant escalation with both Russia and China who are NOT Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, or other shambolic pretend opponents. Both nations can reach out and touch the MiC easily. Including various people within it. In that sense Trump is the retreat to stability and the old system. Conflict does… Read more »
It seems reasonable to assume getting rid of Trump is a genuine priority of the regime. The incompetence of the regime people against Trump is therefore very informative. It means we can expect any crazy thing to happen. This includes the economy, war with Russia or China and other extremely dangerous things, nuclear power plants, novel design viruses, you name it. They are conceited, arrogant and incompetent and are playing with history s most dangerous toys. It’s a helluva time to be alive. Have a plan for almost anything
The question is: what will all those Trump flag-displaying people (and there are a lot, at least where I live) do when their man goes into confinement? I think the fate of the country, in many ways, rests on that. If the MAGA crowd, with all their guns and tactical gear, just vents on Twitter about it, then the Regime has won, and the Regime will have all the more confidence to roll the citizenry as they’ve been doing. MAGA folks are not my people, but they will be the front lines, if one ever forms up.
How many of them have spent ten minutes thinking about what, exactly, they might do in some extrajudicial manner?
On the other hand, what proportion of the Irish were active in the IRA?
I think they fantasize about “it” all the time. There is a lot of anger out there. On both sides, but MAGA guys can live off the grid about 1 week longer than progressives can. But when the Regime dares Trump fanboys to square up and fight for their man, nothing will happen. Hopefully – and this is probably the best course of action, long-term – conservative voters will quietly quit. I would like to see Republicans get trounced by Democrats until the Dems have a super-majority, but there are enough retards that we’ll have this stupid kabuki theater for… Read more »
I agree on the quiet quitting, but also rage quitting, or just plain old quitting.
Despite them having wide sympathy, only a very small percentage of Irish were active in the IRA, even in their strongholds like Armagh. Active IRA members plus active supporters numbered in the hundreds.
The calculation has been made that nothing will be done.
I hesitate to call it a “dry run” for this specifically, but lessons about this were learned from the plandemic/jab mandates.
They will do exactly what all conservatives do. They will complain online, eat their chips and turn the grill on. Then be sure to vote even harder the next time.
a close friend, who is an evangelical conservative, tried explaining to me that the pendulum will swing back soon. He really believes this. He believes that “even dems think the transgenderism is crazy”. Imagine believing things like this….
Leftists are the worst of creatures, but conservatives are making it a close call.
What are YOU going to do about it Griller?
Oh never mind, you’ll be doing exactly what you said they will be doing.
You sitting behind your keyboard complaining?
Yes you are.
The same question could be turned around on you: What are YOU going to do about it? That question could then be turned around on me. I won’t hesitate to answer it: I won’t be doing anything, as one guy rebelling on his own won’t make an ounce of difference. We lack sufficient real-life organization to offer even a hint of a viable opposition.
Buddy, all of us on this web site and in other similar forums, including you, are mere keyboard warriors. Stop peacocking about as if you’re some kind of exception.
Maybe, but there’s no reason you can’t do the only thing that will make a difference — get out of the city, move somewhere you aren’t outnumbered, start a business of some sort, and hire some white boys so they can start a family.
Sure, the shitlibs will try to destroy you, but if you choose your location well, your community will support you.
And worst case, at least you tried.
You know, that is a stellar comment. That is exactly what needs to be done. For me, if all I could do was to get some kin and their friends over the hump. well, that’s what I did.
Some of them are young, some have kids or are support to kids of their own kin, all I could do at that end was to support as many White kids’ future as possible.
MAGA not your ppl but you’ll be happy to have them do the dirty work for you? PUSSY!
Please post a clear picture of your kit somewhere with your name hand-written on paper in the foto. Provide the link here so that we can have a close look at it.
It took some sleuthing, but I found it.
I knew it! It’s either post-surgery or waiting for the Hale-Bopp comet.
Must be low on its male menstruation drugs. Time to brew up some tampon tea.
There was a long lead up to 1775 people tend to forget about. Boston Tea party comes to mind. The massive smuggling to circumvent British restrictions on commerce is another. If any reaction happens to Trump being put in jail I think you will see it start with deplorables throwing sand into the gears any way they can. We’ve already seen this elsewhere with that hate speech law in Scotland where they flooded the report system with so many BS reports as to make it useless. People don’t go from zero to Lexington and Concord overnight.
Was the hate speech law in Scotland repealed after people flooded the system or it is staying in place after people get exhausted?
The Muslim anti White minister is resigning. Will probably be replaced with someone worse. They probably won’t repeal the law either. But the British didn’t back down either and it finally led to the American war of independence. I don’t think our current elites will back down. By now I’m about sure that’s for the best. They need replacement not reforming.
The question is who replaces whom first. Right now, our people are being replaced by our elites at an increasingly rapid pace.
and tactical gear Most of their camo is field camo. This betrays their essential passivity and cluelessness. They fantasize about a civil war which the regime would win in the sticks, where the rebels would be finished off, but the rebels must win in the cities, where the regime would be finished off and replaced. The rebels are also still stuck in the American politics of the late 18th century. They would fight to reboot a major error of the “Englightenment”, and most of them are zombies of Zion, too. It’s difficult to imagine rebels more doomed to fail should… Read more »

Should we talk about RFK Jr adding more fuel to the chaos? I am seeing him do well above Biden (but below Trump) in online polls.
Hell will freeze over before RFK Jr has any chance.
Are they still denying him secret service protection?
But he may be the Democrats’ Ross Perot.
JFK Jr will be ignored to death. If we actually did have a free and open press, and political parties that responded to their bases, JFK Jr would be way ahead of Biden. Ramaswamy and Tulsi Gabbard would be ahead of Biden. The only guy who could beat Trump, in a fair election, is Kennedy. Just like Bernie Sanders could have beaten Trump in ’16. Problem is that Kennedy is a civil yesterday-man fringe candidate (Lyndon LaRouche, Ralph Nader, Ron Paul) and doesn’t pick fights like Trump…he does the “win the battlefield of ideas” thing that is a loser’s gambit.… Read more »
RFK Jr. would have no chance even with free and open press. Have you heard him talk? His voice disqualifies him, no matter how “superficial” of a reason that is.
I upvoted that because you’re right. I am behind Kennedy as a disruptor who will probably speed up the collapse help expose the absolute clown show we have become. But it is so painful to listen to him talk that I just won’t do it.
Well, RFK Jr. said that he had a brainworm that ate some of his brain and then died, so…
Later he said it was probably just mercury from all the tuna sandwiches he ate, and not a brainworm.
Crazy ass old money people. smh. lol
It’s very timely that all of a sudden RFK jr now wants to debate Trump and he wants the subject of that debate to be covid and what Trump did and failed to do during that period.
I was reading an article recently and it mentioned how the money people behind DeSantis have begun to move towards RFK jr. Once again, impeccable timing and depending on how this goes, this may very well peel some support away from Trump. Covid is a subject that people of all stripes are still livid over.
RFK Jr sank his campaign after he polished the j-lobby’s knob with his Israel-Firsting.
Had to do a double-take. Saw that as “Israel Fisting.”
I think RFK is friends with Trump. I suspect RFK is the mule, and his job is to siphon enough votes from Biden to make election fraud impossible. Trump will attack RFK to make him more appealing to DEMOCRATS as a viable option. They already hate Biden and will never vote for Trump. So, give them a “Liberal” option. All the talk early on was that RFK would hurt Trump. I’ve never bought into that and the polls so far have supported my theory. If RFK is an op against Trump, it’s being run by the same stupid “influencers” brought… Read more »
I don’t think Biden is going to step aside. He doesn’t need to. He is totally stage managed and the media will operate his campaign for him. I think there is zero chance we have debates. Even if Trump is still a free man, Karine Jean-Pierre will open up her tome and flip to the page where it says that “Biden feels debating Orange Man Bad is beneath the dignity of the office” and the media will cheer. The media is not going to report on anything Trump the candidate does or says – they did this to some extent… Read more »
One thing not mentioned is the upcoming certainty of anti-Israel protests at the Democratic national convention. This would give the powers that be the chance to remove Biden from office for someone else (no idea who that might be). So, Zman talking about the chaos option occurring at the convention isn’t as far-fetched as some might think.
Hell, I might join that protest just for fecal remnants and chortles…
Fun tidbits about the convention venues: Secondary business will be held at McCormick Place on the lakeshore southeast of the Loop, but the main venue is the United Center, located one block north of Malcom X College, and much farther from the hotels. The college is basically just across the street and separated from the UC by a parking lot. I expect the school to become a command center for protests and riots, so the cops will be pressured to shut it down and drive out the protestors. If they try, this convention quickly becomes like1968’s all over again, except… Read more »
Subtle marker of decline: In ’68 Esquire sent Jean Genet and William Burroughs out to report on the planned riots at the Democratic convention. Our nearest literary figures are Houllebecq and Bronze Age Pervert. Not only is that a big step down in artistic seriousness, but no U.S. “men’s magazine” has ever mentioned either of them, because men’s magazines aren’t made by or for men anymore—not even gay men (who’ve degenerated into illiteracy). What retarded regime asset would 2024 Esquire send? Carlos Maza? Taylor Lorenz? Oddity spotted while looking for Houllebecq coverage in French men’s magazines: They seem to have… Read more »
Trump is seen as the “return to normalcy” candidate. If the Democrats let their convention become 1968, Trump will peel off even more voters. He doesn’t even have to make pro Israel statements (though he probably will). All he has to say is “none of this happened and would no have happened had you not allowed the election fraud in 2020 to stand”. People had Biden imposed on them, and now they’re getting front row seats to a catastrophe of global proportions.
Again, “replacing Biden” implies they have somebody to replace him with. Harris? Newsome? Lol.
I’m coming around to this point of view.
Biden passing in office, receiving a state funeral, and Kamala being sworn in would be next-level humiliation for the populace.
Yea, and if there is anything they love more than looting the treasury and shilling for Israel, it’s humiliating the proles. It’s why they put forward freak show candidates and expect us to vote for them and freak show bureaucrats and expect to defer to their authority.
It’s a strange condition where both major parties are likely hoping for their candidate’s physical demise. The GOP for obvious reasons, but the Democrats would likely conclude that the subsequent wave of sympathy would be enough to temporarily cover for Veep-Throat’s latent awfulness. The democrats are absolutely shackled by Veep Throat. Whoever decided to put her on the ticket was either very savvy, or very fortunate (my guess is “doctor” Jill biden) since there is absolutely no way to send FJB off to pasture without elevating her. No matter how awful she is, the democrats just cannot turn their back… Read more »

It’s a mortal lock that he won’t be acquitted. But I wouldn’t call conviction a mortal lock. There’s some percentage chance of a hung jury.

It’s impossible to find anyone who has gone after Trump honestly. Whatever the latest media smear or lawfare prosecution, some percentage of it is always lies. Jack Smith proves this yet again.

Trump will see zero time in a jail cell before the election. All convictions will immediately hit appeals courts. The doc’s case has been shown to be so corrupted it’ll be tossed. The porn slut case is blowing up in the prosecution’s faces.
Fanni? Put a fork in her ass.
Mundane take on all this: Trump will be nominated, and Trump will lose. Certainly, to use Z’s terminology, all the important places are now fortified for democracy.
Admittedly, this could take an interesting turn if he is jailed, but I think they will wait to lock him up (not out of planning, simply Jarndyce v. Jarndyce nonsense) until after he loses.
I see no downside for the DR here. Trump is jailed, the Normies notice. Trump election is fixed, the Normies notice. Trump actually gets elected, nothing happens of lasting note, and the Normies notice. Trump gets elected and everything goes to s**t, and the Normies notice.
Only downside is for those commenters here waiting for Superman. If so, you’re really not on this side of “the great divide”, but keep reading—you’ll get there.

Teddy Beale reports on an interesting Tweet about the dire state of custom machining in the engine building space and relates his own story about buying a printing press from the 60s:

I’ve commented here on this problem with machinists before. Starting with my generation (somewhat early X), absolutely nobody was pushing teens to going into various manufacturing specialties like machining. The way to become a tool and die maker (in the past, like my father’s generation and before) was to get a job out of high school at a machine shop. If you had the aptitude and work ethic in 20 years you could be a tool and die maker. But absolutely nobody in my generation that I knew though there was ever a chance you get a job somewhere and… Read more »
Can you explain why William Weld could have become a national force in politics? I only saw his later career, but it is hard for me to understand how the rest of the nation accepts a liberal New England Brahim which he seemed like a fairly stereotypical example of. Most people were repulsed by John Kerry when he ran in 2004, Weld doesn’t seem that different to me.
In the 80’s and 90’s, that sort of libertarian style was at its peak. Weld had the media skills to sell it, even to a skeptical audience. He made the mistake of running for Senate against Kerry. That was the end of his career.
I was working on Capitol Hill in the mid-1980s when William Weld was an assistant attorney general looking at some defense contractor issues during the Reagan Administration. I remember his testimony before the Energy and Commerce Committee in which he said, perceptively, that it was difficult to prosecute defense contractor misconduct because so often the military services were complicit in the misconduct/fraud. He said that you either had to prosecute the whole cabal as a criminal conspiracy, which was unattractive because many of the people involved had distinguished military careers and could plausibly claim that they were trying to improve… Read more »
As someone who works in the defense industry, I can vouch for that view of fraud. The problem is we allow flag officers to get hired by the very contractors bidding for contracts. The $90k bag of washers is a good example of this corruption. Every contract isn’t like this, but too many are. Another thing that causes the DOD to waste money is simple incompetence and a hide-bound devotion to a ridiculously bureaucratic procurement process. I was reading the other day that a single tire replacement (the maintenance crews don’t take off the tire off a rim, but source… Read more »
The problem is we allow flag officers to get hired by the very contractors bidding for contracts. Yeah, that’s a problem. The arrangement works like a kickback racket, but we can find a slew of other problems, too. Examples: (1) An imperialist mindset among the populace and ruling class (2) a militarist culture which resists correction (3) contracting by firms operated for profit (4) capitalist thirst, which is basically insatiable for revenue, esp. that delivered through the power of gun barrels, electrozappers, and handcuffs. (5) capitalist irresponsibility institutionalized through limited liability statutes (6) stock markets, which would shrivel without capitalist… Read more »
30 mill for a drone. Yeah it’s got some fancy gear but still… 100K fits right in with this. I can’t see an easy way to fix that. And they don’t have a chance in hell against Russia or China like that
Trump has been a true benefit to us in one crucial way. His enemies have shown everyone how absolutely incompetent the Managerial Class is. From the very beginning they couldn’t help jumping on their wedding tackle, wearing cleats. Comey, Director of the FBI what a goof. He was so transparently suckered he’s all but disappeared. Mueller? Not much better, his rep went down in flames as well. Let alone all the dubious informant schemes. How’s that trust in the Feebs going guys? The hucksters at the CIA? Good grief, they couldn’t run an op if they had to. Now maybe… Read more »
“…we are most likely going to see a situation in which the Secret Service faces off with the State of New York about how to jail a former president.” Actually, the Secret Service may not be involved when Mr. Trump is eventually jailed. I haven’t checked on it recently, but a few weeks ago there was a proposal in Congress to deny the former president a Secret Service detail in the event he is convicted and imprisoned. He would also be unable to take his private security detail with him to jail. If he had better Mafia connections, he might… Read more »
If you are the guy from Gates of Vienna, welcome, you fight the good fight. Visit again, and share your valuable perspectives, please.
You’re saying Trump will be removed at the convention. How would this happen? The RNC members were replaced by Trump loyalists, right? (Michael Whatley) So what happens? Mitch McConnell takes the floor & says he must be replaced & all the Trump delegates say – oh, OK, replace him w/ Jeb.
Beautiful. Even our esteemed host gives credit to Trumps political strengths like him or not. This is called reasoned analysis. You put your feelings aside, and draw logical, accurate conclusions. This does not speak well for the 90%of the TDS suffering imbeciles of the commentariat. Trump puts anti white racism publicly on the table in a speech, making it now safe for the pansy asses to pick up the ball and make anti white hate a part of the public discussion. Instead of seeing that as a net positive, the TDS’ers start shitting in their diapers ala their president. Because… Read more »
Credit where due – Trump has placed anti-White racism in discussion. I guess that’s a start. But he is also a solid zionist, which is the root cause of the anti-White racism to begin with. Trump is playing to his strength – good instincts on where the political winds blow, in particular recognizing a large underserved constituency and courting it.
His slogan should be “Better than Biden.” It would be 100% true, even if he is only a smidgen better.
That’s it. He does something good give him credit or not.
Hammering on the guy for doing something that benefits the dissident right / white people, is not a reasonable position. I’m not an RFK fan at all, he did the public at large a solid exposing the Covid hoax. Credit where it’s due.
Look Vinny, we’ve been trying to give Trump his “due” forever. Not gonna happen for any number of reasons, but a big one I detect is that deep down we all wanted a Superman to rescue us from the void. Not gonna happen in Realville. No need to create enemies of people who are 90% on board with you. (There I go again paraphrasing that horrible “Normie” Republican, Ronald Reagan.)
Love him, hate him, or indifferent. Vilifying the man when and where he serves a useful purpose is fucked up.
Jack Smith is there for a reason, he has a spotlight on him so we know who he is. He is the prosecutor who railroaded Ted Stevens.
“The other day he was leaving the White House, and it appears he soiled his diaper.”
“Biden is told to stand aside at the convention, maybe have him deliver one last speech in which he ‘graciously’ steps aside for someone new, who then picks a running mate that is not the butt of jokes.”
Well done, Z! Well done!
Really liking the changes so far, but we now desperately need a mute or block feature for the few retards that came over from Breitbart.
Absolutely. Nothing better than an echo chamber.
It has nothing to do with echo chambers. It has everything to do with formulating intelligent posts and presenting points in a respectful way.
Sure, but frankly, calling them “retards” doesn’t exactly meet your own standard, does it?
I get that maybe you point out where they are wrong, but if you block them, are you ever going to have the chance to help them see the light?
Some people don’t see the light. If they generate huge amounts of dislikes, does that validate their presence? I see no reason to necessarily ban them but my life would be better if I could simply *not* see their postings and ignore such threads as they create.
We all live in a bubble of sorts of our own making, but driving an audience out of your blog simply because of trolls seems counter productive.
I’m not advocating for that. Each individual should be able to selectively apply an “ignore” to a user. I’m not saying we should “ban” anyone.
New-cue-lar … anyone remember that mispronunciation? I’m talking about that imbecile “Dubya.” And that was many years ago. It was also the seed of our current chaos. “Patriot Act” for God’s sake. Better hope there’s no new-cue-lar this summer.
Anyone who’s paying attention realizes how the English language is degenerating. Just part of the general collapse of our culture. Does anyone in England still speak or write proper English? In spite of our “college educated” people running around everywhere, the level of ignorance is appalling.
OK, but I did have professors who pronounced it the same way when I was getting my certification. Sure, they were all East Coast, so maybe it’s a regional thing, though they did know their shit, even if they did pronounce stuff wrong…
I’m not saying W had a clue. Just that pronunciation should not be the standard. The smartest guy I ever studied under thought it was pronounced, “Warsh.”
Trump was merely the best of a very bad lot of GOP candidates in 2016 and then had the luck to face the odious and complacent Hillary Clinton. He then got rolled by the Swamp he claimed to oppose, which cost him enough support so the Dems could cheat just enough to win (while Trump and the GOP sat on their hands and allowed the fix to be done). There is no reason to expect anything different in 2024.
Trump beat what was, at the time, considered the cream of the crop and the best slate of GOP candidates in decades: Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker and many more. And he crushed them like a grape in his fist.
Agree Clinton was complacent, but the point of elections is to try and root that out. Yes, Trump got rolled. He shoulda took my advice in January 2017 and handed out 100,000 pink slips. He thought the Government would fall in line. It didn’t. The question for 2024 is whether he will go to war this time.
It would be nigh impossible to fire 100,000 bureaucrats without a plan, and such a plan would be this: Every fired bureaucrat would be guaranteed his or her full wages and benefits until they reach retirement age and receive their full pension. On one condition: They never again involve themselves with any level of government or any industry they regulated or lobbying group associated with that industry. The vast majority of them would take the deal without a squawk. The few holdouts could be canned in the traditional manner. The economics are simple: the average government employee does damage to… Read more »
More fighter jet chaos:

So it looks like we could wind up with a Speaker Jeffries. If that happens, expect legislation to remove Trump from the ballot in 2024…
This is not going to end without bullets.
I’m going to volunteer at a 2a booth at a fun show in the 19th (taking place at a raceway). So I’m gonna get the pulse of normie straight from his mouth, and I’m not holding out hope.
my guess is he still thinks we need to get in some tough conservatives to beat back them socialists. Last time I was at this event, they were talking about some woman politician and I said” I’ll never vote for a woman” shock , nervous laughter.
really I don’t know what it will take for these people.
FEMA camps?
Fyi, check out the comments at Gateway Pundit. There is still much wailing about the communisms and the “RINO”, but there’s lots of overt anti-Republican denunciations, too. It looks like many are ready for GØP (Zero GOP).
With such a title, I was expecting Lovecraft fan fiction…
Bad analysis. Same thing will happen that happened in 2020 except this time the election will be overturned and Trump will be president. The point of this whole exercise is to hammer home corruption and election fraud.
I just got a phone call from Q. He invited me to a game of 47D chess 🙂
Maybe it is finally time to activate Sessions.

There is no way we’d be privy to all the dirt we’ve been privy to unless it was being exposed intentionally. They do these things under the darkness of night so we can’t see them. We might see something dirty every now and then, but not as much as we’ve seen.

RealityRules: “Remember, Ukraine is going to fall and maybe this summer. When that happens add a lot more chaos to the melting pot.”
Aha! Monday I asked (sleepily) if anyone knew about some big thing in July.
I remembered what it was.
Ukraine will be admitted to NATO. Scholz (Germany) has already pledged 35,000 troops, and Macron was hooting likewise about the 1500 French Foreign Legion already there.
