“There are many reasons Democrats lost. They suffered from an unpopular incumbent, were punished for the high inflation of the last years, and fielded an uninspiring candidate who never managed to put forward a clear governing agenda. But the most fundamental reason why so many voting groups that had long been supposed to buoy blue fortunes have turned red — and the one that is most likely to dog Democrats’ chances in upcoming electoral cycles, when they no longer bear the burden of incumbency — lies in the fact that they are seen as being far outside the cultural mainstream.” (11/21/24)

“Whoa! This article describes how the FedGov’s. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued a 2020 plan (during the Beer Flu Pandemic Panic) to create concentration camps for Americans who were classified as susceptible to the COVID disease …. This plan was posted on the CDC website and not removed until March 2023. Since those targeted for the concentration camps were those most likely to die from COVID, it’s not a stretch to see how these concentrations camps could have become death camps due to isolation and the mere passage of time.” (11/21/24)

“In 2002, President George W. Bush signed a bill into law that gave the U.S. president the power to invade the Netherlands — or anywhere else on earth — in order to liberate an American citizen or citizen of a U.S. ally being detained for war crimes at the International Criminal Court, based in the Dutch city of The Hague. Among the lawmakers who voted in favor of the bill: then-Delaware Sen. Joe Biden. While the president has yet to make good on this military threat, the law, which is still on the books, serves as good shorthand for the U.S. relationship to the international institution of justice. The bill was meant to fend off the specter of American troops standing trial for atrocities committed during the fledgling ‘war on terror,’ but the U.S. horror of The Hague has its roots in the longstanding policy of unconditional support for Israel.” (11/21/24)

“If I were advising President Trump, here are the recommendations – with the supporting analysis – I would offer to him to Make America Great Again. To achieve this laudable goal, which would secure for him a pre-eminent place in history, a return to the fundamental principles that made America great is needed. As numerous polls reveal, the American people recognise that their country is headed in the wrong direction. To correct its course, the rash changes wrought by the Progressives in the last century need to be reversed. They have caused government to become overly involved in people’s lives by disrupting the checks and balances of the American political structure.” (11/21/24)
