THE BIG PICTURE

No Room for Growth – “Even if I am absolutely certain of something, I am still open to discussion with an opposing view. If nothing else, this is how I strengthen my argument. I want to know exactly what the contrary position is so I can see if there are any weaknesses in my own hypothesis. There is always room for growth. This just seems like common sense to me, and I am continually flabbergasted why everyone does not feel the same way. Well, a lot of people do. They are the shrews. I have not met a shrew yet that has a completely closed mind Well, I have met shrews who are a bit more close-minded about a few things, but never everything. I have met many sheeple-types who are completely closed up—to the point of hilarity. Why is that? Well, they would say that they are so certain about their position that anything opposing it is just nonsensical insanity. ” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Brave New Trumpenstein – “Building the new Technocracy. I haven’t written much lately about Donald Trump. The man I christened Trumpenstein. He continues to effortlessly shuffle back and forth between populist rhetoric and RINO reality. He has undeniably given his MAGA faithful more red meat this time around. RFK, Jr. was the most revolutionary presidential appointee of my lifetime. I am very dubious that RFK, Jr. will be approved as HHS secretary, or any other position in government. But Trump vowed to use his power of “Recess Appointments” to get RFK, Jr., Tulsi, and Matt Gaetz through a Congress that was never going to approve them. So what happened to all that “Recess Appointments” talk? Gaetz summarily withdrew, after the contrived scandal which grew out of an extortion attempt on his wealthy father was revived by Congress and our state controlled media. His replacement, Pam Bondi, won’t be draining any swamp. The only sure thing about the Trump/Trumpenstein II administration is that it will be utterly devoted to the interests of Israel. He may not MAGA or MAHA, but the Giant Orange Man will definitely MIGA.” – Donald Jeffries – GOOD ARTICLE BY DONALD. SAME OLD SAME OLD, IT APPEARS!!!!!!

Memo to Trump, Tom Homan, and the whole Trump crew: YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND IMMIGRATION POLICY; what the hell is wrong with you? – “You people are clueless. The Prime Directive is: WHEN ANY PERSON COMMITS A FELONY IN THE US, HE’S CHARGED, TRIED, AND IF CONVICTED, HE’S SENT TO PRISON IN THE US. HE’S NOT DEPORTED. After he’s served his sentence, if he’s an illegal alien, then he can be deported. Not one of you has mentioned this. You’re all talking about how you’ll break through the resistance of Sanctuary mayors and governors, grab illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes in the US, and deport them. As I’ve written several times, this is a GIFT to a criminal. He tortures and rapes someone in the US, and all he gets is a trip back to his home country. He’s the envy of every home-grown American psychopath who is committing heinous crimes.” – Jon Rappoport

Immigration, immigrants, and the american way of life – “Some thoughts on the sudden immigration conflagration. In the fine Bad Cattitude tradition of “making everyone angry by weighing in on multiple sides of issues of current calamity” here come a whole set of takes on immigration, economy, and culture. Some of it is likely to make many people mad. but let’s remember: not liking a fact does not make it false and not agreeing with everyhting that some one says does not invalidate the points they make.” – El Gato Malo

“Officer Safety” – “The other day, a psychopath lit an apparently homeless woman on fire as she was sleeping inside a New York City subway car. As horrific as that was to see, it was almost as appalling to see no one trying to help the woman as she burned to death while bystanders watched. Some of these bystanders were cops. Aren’t cops supposed to “serve and protect“? Well, not when it puts officer safety at risk. We hear a lot about that – and the related bleat that being an armed government worker (which is an etymologically honest description) is such a dangerous profession that armed government workers live in fear that they “might not come home” at the end of their shift. This bleat is both poltroonerous and wrong insofar as the facts. Being an armed government worker isn’t even among the Top Ten Most Dangerous occupations, according to the government’s own data.” – Eric Peters

Congress can prevent Trump from taking office? – “Sometimes you have to stand back and admire the sheer insanity of the left. Whereas normal people have moved on from the events from four years ago, they flog away, asserting that saying the same lie over and over speaks it into reality. This is all set upon the ridiculous idea that since the left has repeatedly accused President Trump of being an “insurrectionist,” he is ineligible to be president. Apparently, there is a codicil somewhere, known only to leftists, that if they repeat some word or phrase, they speak it into existence. Supposedly, that makes the evidence “overwhelming.” ” – D. Parker

2024 Our Lying Eyes: New Photo Shows Biden with Hunter ‘s Business Associates Despite Past Denials – ““Lies.” That response was a mantra for President Joe Biden, who denied ever meeting or knowing about his son’s foreign dealings. Despite the pronounced lack of interest by most media outlets in the alleged multimillion dollar influence-peddling scheme, the House and conservative groups have doggedly pursued the matter and found overwhelming evidence that the President has repeatedly lied about his interactions with foreign clients. Now, a new photo further contradicts the President, who recently pardoned his son for any crimes committed over a ten-year period.” – Jonathan Turley

Never Bored of the Rings – “Lord of the Rings We watched this series this week from home. Every time is a different experience as you catch little things you missed in earlier views. This time is was so real and full of references that were all too real. Look at what America has been thru for the last 8 years.” – Bert Powers / (John Barleycorn)

This Is America: Chipotle™ DEI Brawls Are Lit! – “Anyway, it’s been eight years almost to the day since I stepped foot on American soil, and things appear to be as they were when I left in the Motherland, if not worse. Exhibit A: a mammoth young scholar storms her way into a Chipotle uninvited and starts putting together her own slop bowl because the original order she placed via Uber Eats didn’t have the double meat she wanted or whatever.” – Ben Bartee – ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE A PARTICULAR PERSUASION IN THESE KIND OF INCIDENTS . ANY ONE EVER DONE A STUDY ON THIS? I WONDER? MUST BE TABOO!!!

Luigi Mangione: American Hero or Cold Blooded Murderer? – “Murder is wrong… But?” – Jim McCraigh

Israel Is Killing Civilians In Gaza On Purpose, And It’s Not Even Debatable – “Just so we’re all clear, it is a fully established fact that the IDF is directly, deliberately killing civilians in Gaza. Israeli soldiers are telling the press that they’ve been knowingly killing civilians and then falsely categorizing them as terrorists afterward. Countless doctors have testified to routinely encountering dead and wounded children who’ve been shot in the head by Israeli snipers.” – Caitlin Johnstone

The Syrian Fiasco… A Case of The “Empire First” Folly In Spades – David Stockman

Who Are Our Enemies? Ask God, Not Israel – “Certainly, there are ‘bad humans’, but Satan wants us to designate entire nations as evil instead of the Few. The notion that a nation is evil; China, Iran, Russia, North Korea, is based on the word of the snake. To inspire death. To gleefully honor hate. To redirect Truth. TO deceive. Fauci and Gates are American. Based on the ‘enemy’ logic, the genocide and torture they have both enacted against humans and animals is so much greater than any singular nation – should they be representative of all Americans thus disposing America as the premier Enemy of the World?” – Helena Glass

Israel’s Long History as a Rogue Terrorist Nation: Part 2 – “The Lavon Affair aka “Operation Susannah” aka “relax, we’re Zionists, we’re allowed to terrorize civilians!”” – Anthony Colpo

Post-Assad Syria: Alawites to the grave, Christians to Beirut – “Young Alawite men are being hunted down and beheaded and Christians are being forced to convert at bayonet point. Welcome to liberated Syria. ” – Declan Hayes
