Fire Hydrant of Freedom

The quote "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"12is attributed to Lord Acton, a British historian and politician13. He wrote this remark in a letter to Bishop Mandell in 188713. He also added that "Great men are almost always bad men"423. The quote implies that power has a corrupting influence on those who wield it, and that the more power one has, the more likely one is to abuse it

Can anyone imagine if the Dems finish the job seizing full power and making us into one party country?

(their obvious goal)

The system was designed so the media would be an additional check on gov. power but that no longer exists for 90 % of the media .

" A Civil War historian has called the remarks Donald Trump made about Gettysburg during a campaign rally "unhinged."

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, T.J. Stiles said the former president's take on the Battle of Gettysburg, which was fought between July 1-3, 1863, and killed an estimated 51,000 people, was "inarticulate" and "reductive."

51,000 people were NOT killed.  That is the number of total casualties.
In McPherson's 'Battle Cry of Freedom' he estimates that of total casualties during the Civil War battles that around ~ 15 % were deaths.
The rest of course wounded, missing, or captured.
Of course some of the missing were also actually killed vs deserters.

I see 2 images

one shows Paul Revere warning Colonists that halving is coming

and another that shows us throwing gold to CCP while we get back our paper $$$.

So what would DJT do at this point other then tell us over and over again that this would NEVER have happened if he was President which is all hypothetical and conjecture and not factual reality?

He states Israel should finish the job ASAP but how much is he willing to commit to US assistance other then supplying arms?

Bottom line he is boasting big.

Questions remain.
I suspect he would not give too much space for Hamas and their Palestinian supporters (the majority)
I suspect he would not cave to the anti Zionists
I suspect he would do his best to supply arms etc.
I wonder if he would commit to any further US involvement.
Sounds to me like Biden has been ultimately supportive of Israel militarily but a failure on the PR front and caving into the anti-semites at home front.

Would DJT support a strike against Iran?

No one can say.

Ruminating about the windbag boasts of Trump.

A scene from CIVIL WAR movie prompted me to look this up.

Used by anti Apartheid forces in S Africa
and apparently as punishment for crimes :

https://allthatsinteresting.com/necklacing

I don't think this was ever reported in US media:
Though the A.N.C. spoke out against it on paper, Nelson Mandela’s wife, Winnie Mandela, publically and openly cheered the mobs on. As far as she was concerned, necklacing wasn’t just a justifiable evil. It was the weapon that would win South Africa’s freedom.

“We have no guns – we have only stone, boxes of matches and petrol,” she once told a crowd of cheering followers. “Together, hand-in-hand, with our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country.”

Her words made the A.N.C. nervous. They were willing to look the other way and let this happen, but they had an international PR war to win. Winnie was putting that in jeopardy."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_by_country

Fastest growing religion in world.

" A Pew Research Study in 2015 found that the Muslim population was expected to grow twice as fast (70%) as the world population by 2060 (1.8 billion in 2015 to 3 billion by 2060).[312] This expected growth is much larger than any other religious group.[312] Muslims are likely to constitute roughly 26.3% of the world's total population by 2030 "

not clear why some states get disproportionately more than others.

For example, Indiana and Minnesota seem to get why more than their population.

North Dakota too.

just wondering if Iran will give us the excuse to bomb and hopefully destroy their nucs sites once and for all.

if possible.

I certainly am not one to understand all the risks and rewards but it seems like the prudent thing to do.

The Greens look like this => 

I noticed all 5 politicians from the mayor up to the governor are crats.
The crats all on board with wiping out the Rs by flooding the future electorate with new voters and bribing them with tax payer money.

what I worry about is jury nullification in Trump trials
like they did in Simpson trial - as a different juror then this stated quite matter of factly on a later interview

payback for Rodney King police getting off.

Obviously, what the prosecutors are counting on as we all can see.

then gets cut off the air with the honest news... that tells everyone he is full of shit.

At 6'8" and 500 pounds rivaling Andre the giant he is larger then a silver back gorilla (though probably not stronger)

I have become a big fan of Sumo since it is on cable at times.
The only wrestler to beat him in the video was able to manuveur around him .

I don't see how any of the shorter much smaller wrestlers think they must charge into him can win that way.

Although maybe they are supposed to do this because of rules.

I was watching Cuomo last night and he had the whistle blower on the air and actually to my surprise agreed to him

then he screwed it up by saying he has no clue as to why he was labled a shill for the Dems (when with CNN)
he needs to go back to his therapist for more insight.

 

I don't think anyone at say Newsmax or the conservatives at Fox would insult us by claiming they are not conservative - only the LEFT does that.

says this could cost Biden Jewish voters - I will believe only when I see it.

states he is disappointed because he voted for Biden but stil undecided if he would vote for him again

meaning he will
because he will not vote R.

 

but he does make good point:

the civilian casualty rate in Gaza is far lower then in Mosul  (assuming he is correct)

But Blinks.Biden/Sullivan/Rhodes are "outraged"

nonetheless

this is either a white Jewish guy or an American Asian behind the hooded shirt.

similar to climate change EVERYTHING is seen and interpreted through race or green colored glassed by the reparations crowd:

of course, 67 votes needed to rid us of this lying treasonous criminal, but a trial would at least further expose him.

"That, and tax the rich, and Republicans are racist gets old quickly when it takes $80 to fill your tank, and your credit card balances went past what you can pay in full.

Bringing one or two of them home to the American Creed will take long, strong, clear, consistent messaging."

So does incessant screaming and preaching into the MSM mike about "defending democracy"
which is the most cynical distortion of the truth I recall in US media.

" Michael Beschloss "

He is a Democrat partisan joke.

right :

" I am sure domestic politics has nothing to do with Biden's policies "

HOW STUPID DOES HE THINK LISTENERS ARE?
If course the DEMs are all nodding in unosin.
The objective people right off know it is BS.

He even is giving Jimmy Carter and Mika's "dad" credit for the Camp David accords.

I agree that was Jimmy Carter's work to help facilitate the peace between Egypt and Israel was his ONLY success I don't agree he or especially anti Semite Mika's dad deserve the main credit.
Frankly the most credit belongs to Anwar Sadat who initiated it and later lost his life over it.

Sadat turned from enemy of Israel to a friend.
Brezinski / Carter just moved it and Begin along in my opinion
and of course took more credit then they deserved.
At least that is what I recall.

every day they lie repeatedly to our faces without a care in the world other then defeating Rs.

I would also add that the fact the Dems are able to raise so much money is clear demonstration how Jews support the DNC before they stick up for themselves or Israel.

I really doubt many if any Jews will switch parties for '24.
The only way to get them to consider it is their own wealth and wellbeing were at stake.
They think they are immune. They are mistaken.
As we are seeing with the rise in anti-Semitism .

Goddamn fools.

The LEFT's long history of oikophobia ......

for some reason few people seem to remember a quake we had in NJ somewhere Circa 2011 - 2012

I don't recall the exact year though I recall where I was and vividly what I was thinking.

At first I questioned what it was, since never in my experience happened in Jersey thinking did a car hit the building then when it continued for ~ 20 to 40 seconds I realized it either had to be an earthquake or a mushroom cloud over NYC.  When I saw nothing outside I knew the truth.

This time I knew right away but for some reason most people don't remember the one from a dozen yrs ago.

Hear it is :

2011

https://whyy.org/articles/7-years-ago-5-8-magnitude-earthquake-rattled-the-jersey-shore/

it was centered in Va and 5.8 !

I also was in the medical school library on ~ 1982 in Grenada when we had a minor rumble.
