        If Republicans never break down any of the democrat controlled bureaucracies what does it matter if they win control of the Congress and White House? You’re suggesting Trump not rock the boat out of fear that the Democrats will regain power and…steer the boat exactly where it is going absent rocking.

        I think the real question is why so many republicans do not want to stop the democrats, whom are without any doubt a criminal cabal hell bent on stealing as much wealth as they can before their last 50 years of policies wreck this country, all so it can be forced to joining the globalist one world marxist government, and constantly make choices that all but guarantee that. It also explains the Trump phenom as well as the resistance against Trump, IMO.

    They are going to go thermonuclear. They have to, because they have nothing else and nothing to lose. They have no coherent message, no popularity among normies, and population trends are going against them with the blue states losing representation.

        The morning happened because the earth rotates on its axis, so half the day on average your location is in the dark, which we call night. Eventually the earth rotates back to you being in light, which is morning.

    FBI has ‘substantiated’ irregularities in Georgia 2020 vote counts, probing if they were intentional

    While I have seen the power of incompetence, I don’t see it as the main factor here. This looks intentional, and we need a lot of prosecutions.

    • SDF-7

      Given all the prosecutions for abuse of power and how well the indictments have gone in blue areas like DC, NoVA and Fulton… I’m sure justice will be happening any time now.

      I’ll wait.

    • Brochettaward

      Nothing will ever come out of this. The notion that the FBI is the correct institution to even look into it despite present leadership that on the surface seems slavishly devoted to Trump is also just asinine.

      They cheated. The vote totals that Biden got were off the charts. The man got more black votes in inner city Detroit than Obama. Even if it was just a mass ballot harvesting scheme using mail in votes and a general propaganda push from the tech sector to go along with mass censorship of the right at the time, that’s enough for me to say they cheated. But it would hardly surprise me if it went much further than even that to just stuffing the ballot box. I’ve been convinced of this (as many people have been) since election night 2016.

      They so obviously laid the groundwork for what was coming. It had never been “normal” not to have a winner on election night, but they spent weeks propagandizing us into thinking that taking weeks to count would be normal. They knew what the end result of the mail in ballots were and they prepped us for that massive swing. There’s definitely something more than a little suspicious when Democrats universally dominate in mail in ballots in pretty much every election we have in this country to start with. To swing a presidential election that wildly is something else.

      I know we still have many holdouts on here who refuse to go this far. People who don’t trust government who just can’t wrap their heads around them being that nefarious despite us having a number of historical examples of presidential elections that were stolen.

      Think of it like this – if they COULD get away with cheating, few of us doubt they would. The stakes for doing so have NEVER been higher with the power and sheer massive control over money never having been higher. Despite nominal checks and balances, the president is the most powerful man who has ever lived and you could maybe argue that each one gains more and more power from his predecessor. And then there’s the simple reality that I don’t know if our elections have ever actually been *less* secure and less auditable, though I’m no expert to say that definitively.

      There’s legit no way to audit in a number of states. There’s no real chain of custody to even follow. It’s a mess.

      • Brochettaward

        Final point to my long winded conspiracy rant – it was posted here, but if you look at the 2020 or many American elections, they have the supposed “tell tale” signs of fraud that our own State Department warns us about in foreign lands. The list was bandied about here in the past and I sure wish I had saved it as I think it was memory holed completely.

        Basic shit that Europe is allowed to do like ID voters is pushed off as racist.

        The chaos we see is by design. I can’t believe anything less.

      • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

        I’m with you bro.

        If nothing else we know mail-in ballots are not secure in anyway. Just look at how many people were willing to lie to the FBI to say they had info about Trump on Epstein Island. Lefties are committed to winning, even if it means breaking the law. It doesn’t even have to be a whole ‘conspiracy’. Just business as usual. They justify crimes like violence or fraud, and sins like pride and lying without batting an eye because they are ‘on the right side of history’.

        Lastly, we are naive to think we are really any different than other nations. Repubs needed to get some real election controls in place after getting lucky last time (Trump winning beyond the margin of fraud because Biden was a potato). That hasn’t happened of course.

      • Fourscore

        I have long said that “the new president is worse than his predecessor” for the reasons Bro said. I’ve been paying attention since Ike got elected in ’52 . While some thought Biden could not be surpassed I knew he was only a stepping stone.

      • rhywun

        The gaslighting (lying) from the “51 security experts” that Team Left promoted is enough to invalidate that election for me, let alone all the many other shenanigans plus whatever the FBI claims to be looking into.

        The US would rightly laugh off the results if any other so-called “democracy” tried to pass off so much obvious fraud and cheating.

      • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

      • robc

        Even if there isnt cheating, mail in voting is just inherently untrustworthy.

        I know “6 sigma” voting accuracy isn’t really possible, but it should be an unobtainable goal at worst. Anything that makes that physically impossible should be avoided as much as possible. Absentee ballots are bad, but I can see why they are sometimes necessary.

      • AlexinCT

        Even if there isnt cheating, mail in voting is just inherently untrustworthy.,\

        Mail in voting, the kind where they mail out ballots to anyone on the rolls and then do not verify legitimacy and even allow ballot harvesting legally – a thing that is codified by several of those blue bastions that have zero chance now of ever not going team blue – exists to steal elections. Especially when they allow them to keep coming in for days both before and after the election day.

        The problem we have is that the old way of them rigging elections – giving us two choices they approve of to choose from – broke with Trump (and that was a own goal as they went with that to force Hillary winning on people that despised her by a 52% majority). In the past they had some shenanigans in blue bastion cities, and that was sufficient. But now they are forced to rig it far harder because the real percentage of people done with the criminality has gone way above 51%. I would not be surprised that once they have locked the cheat, big voting changes will happen that make who votes irrelevant, because we now live in the age of the counters deciding elections.

    I’m told the Super Bowl half time show featured a point where two male dancers grinded their dicks on one another. Sounds up to par.

    This whole story is making me sound like some prudish conservative in general. But here’s that left wing tool Mike Florio (writer at ProFootballTalk.com and squishy white prog in general) on the subject after talking up the “big” numbers:

    Yes, the TV audience for the Super Bowl halftime show dropped from last year (133.5 million) to this year (128.2 million). But that’s only part of the story.

    The selection of global superstar Bad Bunny has sparked massive collateral numbers. Last week’s press conference, for example, attracted 68 million views within 48 hours, via Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports.

    Via NBC, total social-media consumption of the halftime show set a record with four billion views in the first 24 hours, a 137-percent increase over last year’s halftime show.

    There’s still one number to be determined — global viewership of the halftime show. It’s possible (if not likely) that millions of non-football fans in other countries tuned in specifically (and only) for the halftime show, given Bad Bunny’s worldwide appeal.

    Despite the fake outrage from some, as expertly crafted and delivered (per usual) by Jon Stewart, the halftime show seems to have been a success. And its overall message is undeniable.

    The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

    1. Bad Bunny seems to have done worse than last year’s Super Bowl – at least in America.
    2. Beyond subtle attempts at political statements, this was a halftime show that featured two male dancers grinding on one another at a point and then lyrics in a foreign language that would have many, many parents in an uproar if their kids could understand them. Or the parents themselves could. At least in the primary market for the game which is still the US.

    I’m not seeing the message of “love” behind any of this. Just the typical sort of Marxist sexual degeneracy that they pass off as perfectly ok but which has undeniably in my view broken the fabric of society over time. Some guy singing about his dick and sticking it in dopey young starstruck girls from across the racial spectrum of the Hispanic world isn’t exactly something I normally celebrate even if it’s not something I normally waste time harping on, either, ya know?

    I’m always skeptical of online numbers and views because they get counted different on different platforms. Some millions of Americans tuned out of the game and watched a show by some relatively washed up has-been rockers they normally would have no interest in. Perhaps as many as 25 million online alone.

    When it comes to Bad Bunny, you have some number of foreigners who may have tuned in to watch online or people who looked out of morbid curiosity and they are selling that as some big win.v

      Love is what (D)s do. Hate is what (R)s do. There’s nothing complicated going on here.

      I am more offended that people call that shit music. Just a cacophony of crap while some dude mutters in incomprehensible ‘spanish’. The imagery as far as I could tell forma small part I watched was complaining how their little island sucks and they can’t manage their own infrastructure. When can we kick that island out of the union?

      The two dudes being gay on stage is bad, but all forms of degeneracy must be purged.

      • Nephilium

        Meh, I mean I’m a fan of stuff that sounds like this.

      • Brochettaward

        Like yea. I get that the “music” isn’t meant to appeal to me, but that is a genre of music that I don’t get how it appeals to anyone on any level. Though I’ve become the old man yelling at clouds I guess. I say that about a lot of the new shit I here.

        I accept that I’ll probably never see a Super Bowl show aimed at my demographic again, but there’s a middle ground between that general approach and just spitting in the face of people who are the backbone of your fanbase in your primary and by far dominant market.

        But there’s definitely an attempt to paint a narrative for people who don’t know what he was saying. They want to write their cool articles on all the subtle political messaging and “symbolism” while also telling us it was an innocent “wholesome” performance (thanks, WashPo!) the criticism of which was all completely overblown. It’s contradictory talking-out-of-both-sides-of-the-mouth bullshit. Typical prog stuff where they spin for the audience. Try to sell normies one thing and the more rabid prog base another.

      • DrOtto

        I’m going on record as saying halftime shows have always sucked and can and should be ignored. If the stupid party wasn’t stupid, they would have just let this show go on without saying a word. Instead, it’s all they are talking about days later. And as EvilSheldon points out, do we really want to point to Kid Rock as a role model for our children? (For the record, I like Kid Rock’s music, but it isn’t for the little ones).

      • The Artist Formerly Known as Lackadaisical

        @Neph, that didn’t completely offend my ears. I didn’t have any political position going into the show and really didn’t know anything about Bad Bunny, didn’t even hear about the all American halftime show (or whatever it was called). I have very eclectic musical tastes and this just isn’t it.

        @DrOtto

        I also listen to depraved music (e.g. Frank Zappa) but I don’t broadcast it to the world, and especially not children.

    Drawing largely on playbooks they have relied on for years, Amazon.com, Microsoft, Alphabet’s Google and others generally plan to find workers in categories that don’t have to pay the fee, including existing H-1B visa holders, students and people on other types of visas, according to people familiar with the companies’ plans…

    But many smaller companies, including startups in specialized areas such as artificial intelligence and healthcare, can’t easily navigate the policy changes or invest in alternatives that are cheaper than the $100,000 fee but still more costly than the status quo.

    No way. This was impossible to predict happening in exactly this way.

      I’ve argued it elsewhere for the NFL and it ‘s definitely true for government. Completely predictable and foreseeable consequences of policies or decisions are not unintended.

      Would it shock anyone if the Trump admin which has suddenly found itself in bed with the tech giants in the second go around and is all-in on AI is in fact using immigration as a tool to put its thumb on the scale for the top companies the government has historically already been in bed with for years? Shouldn’t shock anyone here though there is a bit of hero worship of Trumphitler still going on.

      There was a time when people tried to say I was a blind Trump supporter mainly because I felt he was least bad and most importantly a fun fuck you to the powers that be. I now feel that he has mostly just become a coopted, institutionalized puppet.

      I think the want and expectation was to have local police step in and do their job so as not to have to federally prosecute and incarcerate people under much harsher charges than what local police would probably arrest and then fail to charge “observers” with later, but they (local cops) couldn’t even be assed to do that.

Sure, many of them just like being in the minority (no real responsibility and much easier fund raising) , and many of them are actually democrats pretending to be something else, but this should make everyone feel we are at a point where we need to clean house if we, the common people, want to go back to even a semblance of having a say in government.

    Anyone watching the Tumbler Ridge shooting coverage?

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/livestory/active-shooter-alert-tumbler-ridge-secondary-school-bc-live-updates-9.7083740

    Police say the shooter a ‘woman wearing a dress’ died of a self-inflicted wound. They won’t release the name due to ‘privacy’ reasons. Based on the crime, the dress (who wears a dress to a shooting?) and the authorities not releasing the name I can guess the chances of the shooter being a Troon is close to 1000%.

    What is interesting is that these types love to destroy innocent people. I guess people who hate themselves hate the world and want to take what is good away from it.

    So last night, I tuned into Fox News to watch Gutfeld. Unfortunately, even though it was already taped, it got canceled due to “BREAKING NEWS”. Was there a huge natural disaster? Did the President get shot again? Was there a terrorist attack? Did Lou Reed die? No, none of those things happened. There was an update that a person of interest was announced in regard to a missing white woman who once gave birth to a Z-list celebrity. Not that the case was solved. Just that there was a bit more information. What am I supposed to with that? Why does anyone need to know this? Who the fuck cares? There was nothing that couldn’t wait an hour.

      A gloss is a brief notation, especially a marginal or interlinear one, of the meaning of a word or wording in a text. It may be in the language of the text or in the reader’s language if that is different.

      A collection of glosses is a glossary. A collection of medieval legal glosses, made by glossators, is called an apparatus. The compilation of glosses into glossaries was the beginning of lexicography, and the glossaries so compiled were in fact the first dictionaries. In modern times a glossary, as opposed to a dictionary, is typically found in a text as an appendix of specialized terms that the typical reader may find unfamiliar. Also, satirical explanations of words and events are called glosses.

    Erasure

    “ We would take every step to ensure that our community is safe and we’re working closely with other elected officials, the local councilmember, assemblymember and member of Congress,” Hoylman-Sigal said when asked whether he was worried about consequences for protesting the Trump administration. “This is a moment that I think represents a real test of our community’s resolve.”

    Other local officials have also weighed in. State Sen. Erik Bottcher said on X that “we will not be erased, we will not be silenced, and the Pride flag will fly again.” And in a statement on Monday, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer said it was “a deeply outrageous action that must be reversed right now,” and “that flag will return.”

    Mayor Zohran Mamadani and Council Speaker Julie Menin were less defiant in their statements, in which they opposed the flag’s removal but did not specifically say they’ll put it back up. Mamdani said he was “outraged” by the flag’s removal in a post on Tuesday. Menin called the removal of the flag “an attack on LGBTQ+ New Yorkers” and said “we will not stand for it.”

    “Pollution”

    The Trump Environmental Protection Agency is set to cut the legs out from under U.S. climate change rules this week, revoking its own authority to regulate carbon dioxide and other pollutants heating the planet.

    EPA’s plan to repeal the 16-year-old endangerment finding that said greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and welfare represents the most aggressive step yet by President Donald Trump to reverse the policies and regulations aimed at slowing the pollution driving climate change.

    The repeal, which White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said will be released Thursday, will erase the regulatory foundation for many of EPA’s climate rules under the Clean Air Act. It could also handcuff future Democratic presidents from using EPA to transition the nation’s fleets of automobiles and power plants to clean energy — even as experts around the world warn ever more significant action is needed to stave off the worst effects of climate change.

    The nation’s environmental regulator is expected to assert that EPA’s 2009 assessment of the threat greenhouse gases posed to public health and welfare was overblown, an opinion clashing with the vast majority of scientists.

    It’s not clear to what extent EPA will hew to arguments made in the proposal it released last year that criticized mainstream climate science, highlighting uncertainties over the precise extent of future extreme weather and focusing instead on some narrow benefits of carbon dioxide. Those arguments were assailed by most scientists, and an Energy Department draft report challenging accepted climate science that EPA had based part of its proposal on ran into legal trouble for being written in secret by hand-picked contrarians.

    Or they could just point to how completely and consistently wrong the climate hysterics have been over the last fifty years.

    “Right to Life of Michigan and Pregnancy Resource Center sued state officials to stop a law that not only forces them to hire supporters of abortion rights but also include abortion in their health insurance plans, under a novel definition of sex discrimination.

    Like New York’s 2019 law prohibiting “discrimination based on an individual’s or a dependent’s reproductive health decision making,” Michigan’s 2023 law added “termination of a pregnancy” to the definition of “sex” in the state’s employment discrimination law, removing an exclusion for “nontherapeutic abortion not intended to save the life of the mother.”

    A subsequent bill signed into law by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer repealed Michigan’s Abortion Insurance Opt-Out Act. ”

      “”People” formerly had to “buy a separate insurance rider for abortion … just in case they were assaulted,” Whitmer’s press release said, omitting females as the only sex capable of pregnancy and characterizing failure to cover abortion as a disservice to rape victims.”

      Does that mean a man can “terminate a pregnancy” or does the pregnancy have to be your own…?

    So certain are most experts that one of the nation’s most venerated scientific bodies, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, conducted a review in response to EPA’s proposal and declared the reality and threat of climate change is now “beyond scientific dispute.”

    “According to our model, our model is correct.”

      Yeah, they are flat-out lying.

      Expect the lies to come faster and thicker the more that average folks catch on.

    Regulatory office staff was concerned, he said, that courts might agree that EPA lacked legal authority to regulate greenhouse gases, but still strike down the repeal because “they don’t want to be responsible for millions of people being killed or the destruction of the planet.”

    “beyond scientific dispute”
    I dont think they know what words mean, particularly the word ‘oxymoron’.

    On the reparations thing: Is there some special circumstance that makes a place that has never had slaves and whose citizens fought in a war to end slavery especially liable for said practice to the point they should pay money beyond the blood they split? Something happen there I am unaware of?
