Not only do the American people see through a clearly political trial, what is missing from it is clear charges that identify what “crime” Trump was covering up. What is allegeded is Trump used hush money to cover up a federal crime being misuse of campaign funds to pay a whore to keep silent to benefit his campaign. Well NY has no jurisdiction over federal crimes and Trump has never been charged with federal campaign crimes why is this case even being prosecuted over a crime that doesnt exist? Answer: hyper left wing extremists, judge included, actively conducting the greatest campaign interference ever imaginable in a presidential election. And all at taxpayers expense. If convicted, I see an immediate appeal that will ultimately drown this farce but the farce would be mud to sling by Democrats in the mean time. Absolutely pathetic!!!

David Horowitz gives a useful summary of major risks to the United states.

A summary, of course, leaves a lot out and may therefore give the wrong impression. Here I think that Horowitz wrongly ignores the role of personal integrity among everyday, ordinary Americans as a potential bulwark against the collapse of our nation. I do not mean that citizen heroes will save the empire. I mean that the demise of personal integrity among the citizenry may itself breed catastrophe.

For example, Horowitz notes that fentanyl from China killed 70,000 Americans last year. This is deeply sad, but is this tragedy really China’s fault or is it the result of 70,000 bad decisions made by dissipated Americans and their enablers?

This story is older than history. A nation without a spiritual (not to say religious) foundation is easy to destroy. Our elites are certainly to blame, as Horowitz notes, but they are also puny.

In the height of wisdom, California governor Gavin Newson announces the state now offers Medi-Cal to all illegal aliens to the additional tune of over $3 billion a year for starters to add to their daunting $68 billion budget deficit. It is no secret that federal matching funds are consumed when Medicaid is used. California has offered this “”benefit” to illegal alien children and over 50 adults since 2015 yet our liberal friends vehemently claim illegal aliens receive no federal benefit funding. The responsible among us know that is patently false and has been so for many years costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.

Not only is California bleeding money but american residents too. How long will it take before this socialist experiment collapses? It seems Newsom is just as delusional as Biden when it comes to debt spending.

Just like Colorado, this too will fail in the Supreme Court but only worse. If it was this easy for secretaries of state to just unilaterally remove a federal candidate from state ballots over personal perception this tactic would have been used long before now.

Ok, let’s play. All red secretaries of state just unilaterally remove Biden from their ballots for failure to perform his sworn duties and corruption. No trial or proof needed and voila.

I am trying to figure out if Democrats secretly want Trump to win reelection in 2024. The latest is the Colorado ruling that is sure to fail in the SCOTUS for several reasons. First is Trump hasn’t been tried nor convicted for “insurrection”, second he did not participate in the capital riot and third the 14th amendment doesn’t apply to the president or VP among other reasons. Then there is the case being heard by SCOTUS that the Enron era evidence law being misapplied to convict people of “corruptly obstructing an official proceeding” could blow up the entire slew of cases brought against Jan 6 rioters and Trump.

Two liberal impeachment attempts, all of the liberal concocted criminal and civil cases brought against him, politicized judges in those cases making blatantly biased rulings and now the liberals on the Colorado Supreme court making such a bone headed mockery of law has only further the appeal of Trump as a martyr and emboldened his campaign as a champion against the extreme overreach of a desperate left wing. I was hoping for someone else but Democrats are making it impossible.

Transcripted version.

Although the title sounds negative, the video message is actually positive. Economist Pippa Malmgren notes that when wars end it is normal for the vanquished to become reintegrated into civilization. She points out that since the eventual reintegration is inevitable, it should be always possible to avoid wars in the first place through diplomacy.

That’s a paraphrase, of course, but the perspective arises from basic economics. When people shift from producing food, clothing, shelter and children to destroying them, the resulting deadweight losses become profound. Think of it this way: Suppose a victorious combatant doubles his land and population. It may seem he has doubled his wealth, but in reality he has also doubled (or more) his debt (or, obligations). In effect, the only way to win the game is to not play.

Some are heralding Time’s article (at the link) as a pivot point. They suggest that U.S. policy in support of the war in Ukraine has changed — without any formal announcement — and that material and practical aid will soon end, as well. The war has observably been lost, they say.

I don’t know the truth of that. My view has always been that the Ukraine war was lost (by Ukraine) the day it started for purely technical, material reasons.

That said, something in Time’s piece stands out to me as especially notable. On his latest trip to the U.S. Zelensky’s “aides tried to arrange an in-person appearance for him on Fox News and an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Neither one came through.”

Is it not odd that Fox and Oprah would decline to interview Zelensky during his visit?

President Biden’s plan to visit Israel tomorrow is very foolish.

It should be obvious that by entering the war zone he is risking his life and — potentially — our lives, too. It also is clear that grandstanding such as this has nothing to gain that could not be gained by other, less dramatic, means. Further, Biden’s frailty and dementia are sure to create problems we don’t need. What if he loses his temper in public, or falls down?

I don’t know how to resolve the conflict at hand, but I’m sure that bombs and bloodshed are unlikely to be effective. We must hope that our president has something better in mind as the purpose of his visit.

Our Bufoon in Chief has spoken.

No more thinking on the matter will be allowed. It is time to start killing women and children in the Middle East again.

An alternative might be to partner with Russia and China to defuse the conflict. But that would be to appease “unmitigated evil,” if I understand Uncle Joe correctly.

I like this:

Washington, DC, September 12, 2023 — The Libertarian National Committee is taking urgent action to protect the interests of the American population, with imminent plans to file for conservatorships for President Joe Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The clear incapacitation, mental lapses, and deficiencies in decision-making that are clearly observable in numerous, recent, and well-publicized instances necessitate these actions.

But I don’t expect much to come of it. Wikipedia has a brief article on conservatorship. As I understand it, becoming a conservatoree is not, technically, a barrier to remaining in office, although it might count against a candidate in a competition or as an impeachment target. There are also legal questions as to whether a political party can sue to place someone into conservatorship. I can imagine any number of constitutional reasons that “lawfare” of this sort should be prohibited.

As a result, LNC’s efforts may be little more than circus-making. Only, LNC’s point that incapacitated persons should not be allowed to operate in the public sphere seems a good one.
