This text is in italic, this text is in bold. Underline,
strikethroughJust because:
“And what Trump did in office was significant.
The media likes to ignore, for example, that President Trump moved the American embassy to Jerusalem and secured historic peace deals in the Middle East.
They like to ignore that he actually substantively and meaningfully reformed the VA, such that veterans like myself noticed a real difference.
They like to ignore that President Trump pulled out of bad trade deals and renegotiated others, that he cut job-killing regulations, and that he made America the #1 energy producer in the world.
The list of accomplishments is long, and the American people saw that President Trump was able to get all this done all in the face of sham impeachments, a Russia collusion hoax, a Republican establishment that undercut him at every turn, and a media that regularly and knowingly lied about him and his team every night. ”
I would add that he got it done in the face of the NeverTrumpers masquerading as “conservatives”. They are fairly easy to identify now, as they always include “I voted for him twice” while making their denouncements. They stand with the people at “National Review” (spit).
If you think the republican party is serving the interests of Americans, note who they support and who they don’t.

Good one Kenny!
😁
Well, this is news:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/gavin-newsom-announces-hes-not-running-2024-dubs-kamala-natural-successor-biden
My theory is blown, or the Newsome side lost the interparty battle taking place.
Interesting.
Thinking further….
The deal is, kamala runs for pres with newsome as her VP.
Why? I don’t know.
The NY Post is owned by Murdoch, like Faux news. It is as fake as the rest of the media.
Example, in an article about Hurricane Lee, presently down in the Caribbean, working it’s way east and north, the NY Post fake news folks put up a picture to show an example of destruction caused by recent hurricane Idalia.
Notice any oddities about this hurricane damage picture?

I’m not sure but is that fire damage? Are we looking at Hawaii instead?
Not Hawaii but not hurricane damage. Yes, it’s a house fire that then got the house next door. Notice the undamaged boats still on lifts, tables and chairs, etc. Only sign I see of high wind is some plants knocked over. The fire might have occurred while a hurricane was in the area, but there is no hurricane damage.
Probably Florida coast, but it’s unclear. The lack of waves and the wall tell me it’s a canal.
Mike, if you see this –
The new look and feel is pretty nice IMO. Takes me a while to get a feel for new things like this, but GOOD JOB!
Thanks much, B-man. Still a few tweaks I’m considering, but it’ll do for right now. This theme is one I’ve had for years now and never used; you can kinda tell from the gradient in the navbar, that real-metal look went out of style LONG ago. I still like it, though. All the newer stuff is flat-looking and strictly utilitarian, which just leaves me cold, I ain’t into it. What can I say, I’m old school like that, even when it comes to website design.
We need more republican governors doing this:
I’m not a Youngkin fan anymore than I’m a DeSantis fan, but on cultural issues both are doing good.
Never said any better than this, or
Why there are no republican candidates other than Trump worth consideration:
“Of course none of them will admit to the flagrant corrupt actions which we all saw, as polling places were “closed down,” Republican election judges forced out of the room, with only Democrats remaining to tabulate the unmonitored ballots, truckloads of “ballots” being dropped at crucial locations, counts simultaneously stopped in all six of the “swing states” (but no others) where President Trump was comfortably ahead, only to re-open with Biden ostensibly taking the lead by razor thin margins in all six. And the list of brazen indefensible corruption goes on!”
In other words, the republican party was in on the steal because there is no squeal. And they continue to be in on the steal, attempting to STOP TRUMP with the foul play taking place right now.
There really is only one choice this election.
I will note that where the vote counting were stopped DID NOT reopen and then Biteme got a big vote rise. The VOTES came in WHILE NO ONE WAS SUPPOSEDLY COUNTING. At 3am is a euphemism for almost entirely coordinated vote dumps early in the AM hours across time zones in 6 States.
Note the NC had “stopped counting” and the Steal For Cooper engineered the same way.
Persecuted (murdered, raped, harassed) Christians in Pakistan:

Some folks think this is just the normal, but it’s not. Back in the 70’s I had friends that backpacked through the mountains and would go down into the small towns and be treated like royalty. As recently as 2005 I was in Lahore and went to a bar, yes a bar serving alcohol, and it was not a part of a western hotel. The place was inside the city and had some security around it, but pretty open. The two proprietors were Lahore natives. I asked how they managed to serve alcohol given their religion and was informed they were Christians. All the clientele were westerners of course, but this was tolerated and it no longer is. Radical Islam is a thing and it is growing. Bangladesh, the other former India country is also majority muslim (85% or so) and has been resisting the radicals. One wonders how long they will be able to keep the secular governing philosophy. Pakistan is done. My prediction is that before 2050 Pakistan will be destroyed by nukes from India in retaliation.
