Donald Trump’s Restraint Is a Sight to Behold — and It’s Driving Dems Mad

…The debate with Joe Biden handed Trump every opportunity to gloat or run his mouth on a silver platter. He probably has countless nicknames for Biden that he could have trotted out. But he didn’t.

The Trump we’ve seen these last few weeks is a more restrained man. It’s hard to know what to make of it as a conservative, so imagine how the left is struggling with a disciplined Trump…

It might be the most astonishing moment of a campaign season that has been as unpredictable as anything we’ve ever seen.

Some people, including my friend and colleague Matt Margolis, viewed Trump’s challenge of a charity golf match with Biden as the potential return of mouthy Trump, but that moment was worthy of no more than a chuckle and a shake of the head — a drop in the bucket compared to what the former president has said in the past.

For the most part, Trump has been willing to let the Democrat implosion speak for itself. This serves as a benefit to his campaign as well as a refreshing new facet to Trump’s personality. Best of all, it’s driving the left mad.

“This disciplined Trump is something we haven’t seen before for any extended period, and it’s working out incredibly well for him, with Biden’s poll numbers sinking after each passing day as Democrats spin in the wind,” Domenech writes. “They want Trump to save them from spending another week talking about the worst thing to happen to their party since 1968 — and he won’t.”

I’m sure he’s chomping at the bit every day to say something about the Democrats’ plight, but here’s hoping this version of Donald Trump sticks around for a while. After all, a restrained Trump drives the left more batty than the mouthy, outspoken one.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes! Trump “doing nothing” is driving them MOONBAT CRAZY (which they already were!)

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Excellent thinking.

TheseTruths

I think Dems are entrenched in 1965, in the Voter Rights Act, which they have used repeatedly to say that all election safeguards and laws will disenfranchise black voters. Anything that would require black voters to do something before they can vote is “discrimination.” The same can’t be said of the vax.

But putting that aside, on a level playing field, yes, the concept of a voter ID and a vax ID are the same.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

I think you’re right about that – but I think it’s more devious. I think the Dems knowingly created “protected cheating zones” by that strategy.

TradeBait2

There it is. ^^^

I brought the personally observed 50 year old system (that goes back to the 1800s) with the Clintons/Soros wing of the Dems in BIMD. I guess some people disliked my writing style enough to ignore because I still see folks getting into the weeds and never finding the ball.

All of these government laws and acts do not apply to the cabal participants. They apply as weapons and training tools to us; the deplorables as well as their own plantation slave labor. In America the function of the clowns, FIB, DOinJ, ATF, etc. are to keep us in line for the cabal.

For example – the SAVE Act is all about optics and a teaching moment. It will never actually happen unless there is a non-establishment controlled majority in Congress and as POTUS.

The good news is there are strong counter forces for good that are methodically winning. That is where we come in. See something, say something – just do it to the right people who are aligned with MAGA. As an example, if good people do not get off their couches and participate in the election apparatus, run for office, take jobs in law enforcement, become good judges and attorneys , etc.; bad people will continue to control it all and make the lives of good people miserable. Some of it is quite simple, never vote for a Democrat, primary all RINOs, etc. Which means your active participation in opposing them and supporting acceptable alternatives is important.

The first step is always to see things historically to present day as they truly were and now are. Seek truth even when it is distasteful or threatening.

AMEN!!!

Absolutely. Even if that Voter Act had pure intentions (which it didn’t), being unwilling to admit it’s time for secure elections NOW is no different than their entrenchment in the abortion arguments of the ’60s when scientific understanding about fetuses and multiple choices of prevention methods have all but rendered the 60s mentality moot. We now know that neither ’60s push had ‘pure’ motives.

Nothing Dems push has ever been about protection or betterment of blacks. Nothing. It is just like the push today for any of the deviant sexual crap; the motives are always about holding onto power & money with enslaved, indoctrinated masses.

Dem voters need to make their voices heard, if they care. A lot of them just want to defeat “orange man” and aren’t thinking about the consequeces of what their party does.

TradeBait2

Dem officials don’t care. Their voters don’t care if they are ignored through changes to process. That’s the way communism works on the ground.

Brave and Free

Yup, just look at the past democratic policies and you see they really don’t care about the people they supposedly support. Wash rinse and repeat with the next generation of their voters. Nothing changes.

Alison

I’m not sure the people (dem underlings) even care! They are so ingrained – even unconsciously – in “the end justifies the means” that they aren’t able/willing to see when they are being shivved by their own party.

“I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.” – Thomas Jefferson

In context (he is referring to Napoleon):

…it cannot be denied on the other hand that his succesful perversion 3 of the force (committed to him for vindicating the rights and liberties of his country) to usurp it’s government, and to enchain it under an hereditary despotism, is of baneful effect in encouraging future usurpations, and deterring those under oppression from rising to redress themselves. his restless spirit leaves no hope of peace to the world; and his hatred of us is only a little less than that he bears to England, and England to us. our form of government is odious to him, as a standing contrast between republican and despotic rule; and as much from that hatred, as from ignorance in Political economy, he had excluded intercourse between us and his people, by prohibiting the only articles they wanted from us, that is, cotton and tobacco. whether the war we have had with England, the atchievements of that war, and the hope that we may become his instruments and partisans against that enemy may induce him in future to tolerate our commercial intercourse with his people is still to be seen. for my part I wish that all nations may recover and retain their independance; that those which are overgrown may not advance beyond safe measures of power, that a salutary balance may be ever maintained among nations, and that our peace, commerce and friendship may be sought and cultivated by all. it is our business to manufacture for ourselves whatever we can, to keep all markets open for what we can spare or want, and the less we have to do with the amities or enmities of Europe, the better. not in our day; but at no distant one, we may shake a rod over the heads of all, which may make the stoutest of them tremble. but I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.

There is a gas station that I can easily walk to, if need be. The price isn’t the best, but hasn’t been the worst…..

Until recently. The Fiancee found a place at the corner of De Anza and Stevens Creek (in Cupertino, about 7 miles away) that is about $0.80/gallon cheaper ($3.99 v $4.79). It’s a 24-hour station, but you do not want to be there near morning rush hour (7-10 am), evening rush hour (4-8 pm), or lunchtime (11:30 am to 1:30 pm). I zippied over there around 1:30 and was back in less than an hour, but it was dodging a driver simulator of idiocy the entire way.

If anyone can stand another real life story from me…my brother recently started having terrible back pain. Turns out it’s a herniated disc. Long story short he got some weed from a medicinal dealer. He showed me a tiny bud and said it’s incredibly stronger than what we used to have in our younger days.
It’s not my thing so I didn’t want any but I believe him about the potency.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Is it helping his back? That’s my first question.

mollypitcher5

Guess it is. It seems to help with the pain but also suppresses the desire to get out of the recliner and do things!
I sure hate it for him and have a really hard time giving any high fives about finding something that helps due to this is pretty much the same circumstance and path that ended up killing my son.

“Orban will meet with Trump today at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Bloomberg writes, citing sources.

“The visit is likely to heighten concerns that the Hungarian leader is working as an intermediary between Putin and Trump,” the newspaper reported.

Formally, the Hungarian prime minister arrived in the United States for the NATO summit.

Previously, Orban visited Kiev, Moscow and Beijing in just one week, where he discussed stopping the war in Ukraine. After which he sent a letter to European countries with the opinions of Zelensky and Putin”

Talk about an energy crisis – EVs will surely bring it on!!!

EV Boosters Cannot Do Math 
“Two home-charged EVs would eat up nearly half the household’s total electricity usage – and require thousands of dollars to upgrade the house’s electric panel. Today’s 50-kva transformers, which cost about $8,000 each, can power about 60 homes; that number drops closer to 40 if each of those homes houses one electric vehicle, closer to 30 with two EVs using home chargers.
For a city with 120,000 homes, which today may require about 2,000 transformers, the addition of 120,000 home-charged electric vehicles means adding 1,000 transformers, about $8 million. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg, because distributing 50 to 100% more household electricity requires generating 50 to 100% more electricity…”

EVs ARE stoopid on steroids.

Australia floats the idea that if a catastrophe strikes a power grid, they could utilize (READ: STEAL BACK) the power from EVs to make it through till the grid could be restored. the author brings up the best point ever though…
FTA
Now, it’s not like anyone with a brain really expected these progressive “intellectuals” to offer sound policy proposals, but their “plan” is beyond asinine, and Bolt explains why, running through the real world application of such a scheme:

There’s huge bushfires, say. They knock out electricity lines, like the ones that went down and triggered Victoria’s big blackout. Your EV, which you were charging at home, is suddenly drained to save the electricity system. And then the fires approach. Or the floods.
What will you drive?

The more we know ….

These 3 articles are worth starting one of Wolfie’s sidebars to retain for future.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

They could all be cited in a post on CHUMP ENERGY!!!

RAC

On a slightly different angle on the same topic. I may have this wrong but I have always believed that the original reason for having a cheap night rate for electricity was when using traditional power generating stations, ie coal fired steam turbine sets, they were uneconomical at low load, neither could they be shut down and re-started at a moments notice as the load varied up and down. So really the cheap night rate was not for the benefit of the consumer but to encourage the consumer to use power at night for the benefit of the power generating companies.
If then the mad dream of electric vehicles in totality comes to pass most of them will be on charge during the night for the simple reason that is when people will be in bed asleep and not driving them.
There will then be no reason for the power companies to offer a night time cheap rate, electric vehicles will become more expensive to use and the millions of people who heat their homes using night time storage heaters wont be able to afford to use them.

Great post for illustration purposes. Thanks for bringing.

Who makes the transformers?

China. They use their own aluminum smelting mills.

I brought a BIMD story about an aluminum smelter in financial trouble, now bankrupt, in the bootheel of Missouri. The Dems wanted it closed for environmental reasons, but postured around the loss of union jobs when it actually happened. The same people who are thrilled the state’s energy production reducing with the retirement of coal fired electrical plants.

The GOP refused to provide financial and regulatory relief to the company for their reasons. Nobody seem to care all that much that the company provided around 20-30% of the domestic supply of that product, which is used in TRANSFORMERS.

https://securethegrid.com/u-s-electric-grid-imports-more-chinese-transformers/

Nuclear is back on as the desired generator of large amounts of electricity. They take a decade to build with all of the regulatory restraints. Undoubtedly, most of the items needed for them will be produced in China. Houston, we have a problem.

The criminal cabal is hellbent on EVs and going there. Just say no to EVs and follow the money on related products along with the politicians who line their pockets with Chinese related funds and investments. Which ones will walk to the mic and talk about the jobs being created in their state from this and that connected in some way(s) to China.

Those are your sellouts. They are MAGA targets for removal.

kalbokalbs

Alongside the ignorance of EVs, are windmills, solar panels… Just Say NO.

—-

Beyond initial cost, poor reliability, horrible ROI.

States / power companies like in NV take a percentage of ALL electricity generated by solar panels EVERY month. Excess electricity is NOT “banked or credited” to homeowner. Electric company keeps (sells) the power.

Everything touted/pushed as renewable or sustainable is a gigantic experiment with unknown/untested results with us as the hapless guinea pigs … just like the damn vax! Primarily wealth transfer schemes 😡😡😡😡

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

FULLNESS OF FAITH

Throughout scripture, God sets His example;
Limitless – His love – is more than ample;
He is kind; He is good – He is faithful;
For His steadfast Spirit, we are grateful!

Blessed are they who rely on the Lord;
Blessed are they who abide by His Word;
Holy are they who trust only in Him;
Convicted through Faith – is proper and prim!

With Fidelity and Faithfulness – we
Are trusting and trustworthy as can be;
With holy fervor, we honor Our Lord;
Consistently Faithful His Love out-poured!

Through Jesus, we exude Faith, Hope, and Love;
Through His Spirit and exultation above;
Through fullness of Faith – we are relieved;
We have not seen and yet, we have believed!

A Fruit of the Spirit, Faithfulness is;
The art of believing in heavenly bliss;
The act of knowing – relying on hope;
The tug of strength when unable to cope!

In the fullness of Faith, we come alive;
With conviction and purpose, we will thrive;
With our trust in the Lord, we cannot go wrong;
In the Faith Filled Family where we belong!

DEMOCRAT PARTY IN US GOVERNMENT INTERFERING ***ILLEGALLY*** IN 2024 ELECTION TO HARM TRUMP, INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS KNOW

Aubergine

I have a theory.

It is now being reported that Obama knew ahead of time that George Clooney was going to write that op ed about Biden getting out of the race, but neither encouraged nor discouraged it.

“Former President Barack Obama was given a heads-up but didn’t object to Oscar-winning actor George Clooney’s bombshell call for President Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, a new report says.

The Hollywood A-lister had called Obama in advance to warn him he was going to make the call in an op-ed published in the New York Times on Wednesday, sources told Politico.”

https://nypost.com/2024/07/11/us-news/obama-knew-in-advance-of-george-clooneys-bombshell-call-for-biden-to-drop-out-but-didnt-object/

Could it be that Obama wants Joe to continue, because if Joe is out, his control of DC goes with him?

That would explain why it took Clooney three weeks to admit that Joe is toast. He was trying to decide whether his buddy Obama would be mad at him. We ascribe Machiavelli-level intrigue to these people. But they’re really not very smart. They do the same things over and over. They’re narcissists, too, so I doubt they listen to anybody, including the C_A, about what they should do.

I don’t know. Sometimes I just think we are trying to make a puddle into the ocean.

Pay attention to the down ballot races, especially the House and Senate. Also governors and state legislatures.

We have a good chance at making history here in WA state by electing a conservative for governor. He’s black and raised in Seattle so they have to be careful criticizing him.  😂

Briben is a lost cause. At best he’ll muddle through to January 20.

Briben resign elevates Hoe. hussein owns the Hoe, also. MeThinks.

Come January 20, hussein is out of power. Assuming the illegal votes are stopped, minimized…

My guess is hussein focus is Senate AND House. <<< Minimize Trump power.

Me further thinks, Trump will have long coattails.

The key remains, vote counter.

Alison

Yes, Obama’s got his options covered.

Last sentence is, as you say, KEY.

And I still maintain the RNC et almpush for poll watchers should instead be a push for poll WORKERS in every urban (Chicago, Detroit, NYC, Denver, etc) counting center. THAT is where the cheated ballots are counted.

I explained my exoerience as a worker in a recent comment, so won’t repeat it, but we cannot prevail until these urban counting centers are busted wide open with conservatives engaged in the counting.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Echoing Kalbo, I think Obama has the downside covered on Briben with Hoe, and is prepared to win by cheating either way.

I think Osatan’s plan will be upended, but HOW and WHEN that happens is a bit of a mystery right now.

Our purpose is to make the illegitimacy of a Briben or Hoe win, and the amount of cheating, win or lose, completely apparent to as many people as possible.

Why?

Because I believe that is an integral part of how the regime goes down and the criminals receive justice.

Aubergine

I sure hope so. And I think you’re about Obama. He needs Biden to stay in, so he can get the Hoe into office. That’s why I don’t believe he encouraged that op ed from Clooney.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yup! Obama is better off keeping Briben in, to pull the “Hoe switcharoo” – and that was always the plan. Briben and Hoe was a well thought-out ticket from the very beginning. It works before, during, or after the second election. Horrible and unelectable Maoist Cackles never has to run!!! But if she does, the AME CHEAT covers that downside, and it works even better for BLACK CACKLES.

IMO Trump screwed it up by not taking the media’s carefully laid out “microphone bait” during the “de-bait”.

CNN pushed the fact that Trump’s mike was going to be cut off, but the reality was that you could still hear the “interrupting candidate” at a surprising but reduced level. It was bait, to get Trump to interrupt Biden anyway. At that volume, whoever interrupted sounded WEAK and LOSER – and that was how they hoped to get Biden through with at least a 50% victory.

Trump didn’t fall for it, and Briben’s inability was on full display.

Trump can think on his feet. VERY STABLE GENIUS.

Alison

Methinks a bit of the Clooney action is personal revenge on Biden for dissing Clooney’s precious wife recently over her part in something with the Gaza thing that was in opposition to a WH stance. Clooney wrote a huffy letter or called Biden or whatever 🙄

Heard rumbles that Amal actually wrote the op ed cuz Clooney’s not that articulate!!

Okay, this is weird… now some ancient history site appears to have been reading here too. This was posted yesterday in thread that doesn’t get a lot of updates.

How did Christianity go from a small sect in a corner of the Roman Empire in the first century, to the religion that emperor converted to in early 4th Century AD ?

Its spread was greatly aided by the empire’s political unification and extensive road system, as well as the belief among many Christians that the religion was something anyone could adopt, regardless of regional or religious background.

Missionaries like Paul, a major figure in Bible’s New Testament, traveled around the empire with intention to spread Christianity. However, most of the people who helped spread the religion did so just by talking about it with their neighbors, friends and family members, says Edward Watts, a history professor at the University of California San Diego and author of The Final Pagan Generation: Rome’s Unexpected Path to Christianity.

“Missionaries are a part of the story, but most of the story is about regular Christians talking to regular people,” he says. “And that, I think, is the most important reason that Christianity emerges in the way that it does in the Roman world. It’s not mission activity by people like Paul so much as it is people whose name we don’t know.”

At Roman Empire’s height in 2nd Century, it stretched into Europe, North Africa and Middle East. One key reason Christianity was able to spread throughout this vast empire was that many people viewed the new religion as something they could easily adopt without having to change their existing cultural and religious practices.

In 1st-2nd Centuries, most people in Roman Empire worshiped multiple gods at once. When they heard about Christianity, they didn’t necessarily think that worshiping Jesus Christ meant they had to stop worshiping their other gods, like Jupiter, Apollo and Venus. Rather, many adopted Christianity by adding Jesus to the group of gods they already worshiped, Watts says.

The belief that Christianity was compatible with what we now call paganism helped Christianity spread through Roman Empire. Although some Christians argued there was only one god and Christians shouldn’t worship any others, this wasn’t how many people in Roman Empire understood Christianity at the time, Watts says.

Christianity also got a boost from idea that it was a religion for anyone not just people in a certain region with specific religious background. Though some Christians debated this point, missionaries like Paul preached that a person didn’t have to obey Jewish laws around circumcision and kosher food practices to become Christians.

“This is a key change because it makes the bar to entry much lower,” Watts says. “If you are a male who wants to convert to Christianity, and there’s an assumption that first you have to convert to Judaism, it’s literally physically painful and dangerous for you to convert.”

In addition, fact that authors of Christian gospels wrote them in Koine Greek, a common language version of Greek, made gospels accessible to more people in the empire. Unlike Aramaic, a regional language in Judea that Jesus spoke, Greek was spoken throughout Roman Empire.

Set aside for a moment the source and the look-squirrel of Judaism here – a great attack on the censorship complex!

Watch Ben Shapiro Tear into Censorship Cartel in Fiery Congressional Testimony

“We’re in the midst of a trust crisis in the world of media, which is because so many in the legacy media have lied in order to preserve left-leaning narratives. To take just the most recent example, we were told by the legacy media that President Biden was just fine. For years, anyone who questioned his health and mental fitness was trafficking in cheap fakes. And then President Biden went out and engaged in a full-scale mental collapse on stage in front of hundreds of millions of people.

“So we can see why Americans, at least Americans who are not Democrats, do not trust the media. The question isn’t really why the legacy media have lost Americans’ trust. We know that answer. The question is why, despite that loss of trust, the legacy media continue to gain share in the advertising market. And the answer is simple. There is, in fact, an informal pressure system created by Democratic legislators, this White House, legacy media, advertisers, and pseudo-objective brand safety organizations. That system guarantees that advertising dollars flow only to left-wing media brands.

“Let me explain how this works. When a conservative competitor to the legacy media arises, members of that legacy media and their political allies rush to paint such competitors as dangerous. The commentator Kara Swisher of the New York Times, for example, told the head of YouTube that my videos at Daily Wire were a gateway drug that would lead children, including her own teenage son, to watch neo-Nazi content. Nevermind the yarmulke.

“Elected Democrats pick up that same messaging. In 2017, Senator Dianne Feinstein told lawyers at Facebook, Google, and Twitter, ‘You created these platforms and now they’re being misused, and you have to be the ones to do something about it, or we will.’ Social media companies react to incentive structures, including threats. They have responded by adopting the standards of third-party, left-wing informational safety groups like the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, or GARM. GARM purportedly sets brand safety standards, objective standards by which advertisers and platforms can supposedly determine just what sort of content ought to be deemed safe for advertising.

“In reality, GARM acts as a cartel. Its members account for 90% of ad spending in the United States, almost a trillion dollars. In other words, if you’re not getting ad dollars from GARM members, it’s nearly impossible to run an ad-based business. And if you’re not following their preferred political narratives, the ones that Kara Swisher and Dianne Feinstein would follow, you will not be deemed brand safe. Your business will be throttled. We at Daily Wire have experienced this firsthand. In 2017, after Senator Feinstein made her threats to bring the weight of government down on social media platforms, the Daily Wire YouTube channel saw a 1000% increase in content enforcements over a two-year period. Since 2021, after Democrat officials further turned up the heat on social media companies, my personal Facebook page has seen an over 80% drop in impressions.

“Or take Joe Rogan. When Joe said that he had taken Ivermectin after getting COVID, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki pressured Spotify to take action, stating, ‘We want every platform to be doing more to call out missing disinformation while also uplifting accurate information.’ Spotify complied. Spotify, of course, works with GARM.

“So what are the brand safety standards that GARM uses? The standards begin with inarguable things that we’ve heard from the other witnesses, like preventing the distribution of child sexual abuse material or stopping terrorism. But GARM doesn’t draw the line at what is criminal, abusive, or dangerous. Their standards also include restrictions on hate speech, harassment, misinformation, or, my personal favorite, insensitive, irresponsible, and harmful treatment of debated, sensitive social issues. Those criteria are highly subjective in theory, and they are purely partisan in practice. For example, last year, Daily Wire host Matt Walsh was fully demonetized on YouTube, a GARM member. Why? For quote-unquote misgendering, which to GARM is to say that men are not women. Perfectly obvious facts now run afoul of GARM’s censorship standards.

“Companies targeted by GARM, like the Daily Wire, Breitbart, Fox News, and so many others, reach hundreds of millions of people with opinions and beliefs long established as within the mainstream of American conservative thought. GARM and its members have no respect for the beliefs of those people. They would like them marginalized or squashed. It’s time to stand up for the First Amendment in this Congress.

“Congress can do so in two ways. First, Congress must investigate the informal and perhaps formal arrangements between censorship cartels like GARM and executive branch agencies. The Daily Wire has already filed a federal lawsuit against the State Department for allegedly doing just this. Second, Congress can itself stop engaging in violation of free speech principles. Two weeks ago, writing a dissent in Murthy versus Missouri, Justice Alito condemned what he called sophisticated and coercive government campaigns against free speech.

“Members of this committee have engaged in precisely such campaigns. When Congressman Schiff speaks about targeting social media companies that must be, quote, ‘pulled and dragged into this era of corporate responsibility because they are too tolerant of misinformation,’ he knows what he is doing. He is participating in a sophisticated, coercive campaign against free speech. When Congresswoman Jayapal blames social media for placing America at the precipice of a democratic crisis and calls on them to target what they deem hate groups, she also knows what she is doing. She is participating in a sophisticated, coercive campaign against free speech. When Congressman Hank Johnson says, quote, ‘We need a constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to control the so-called free speech rights of corporations,’ he also knows what he is doing.

“We all know what these government actors, what some people in this room are doing. You’re using the tacit threat of government action to compel private companies to throttle viewpoints you don’t particularly like. The First Amendment was not designed to enable workarounds by elected officials. It was directed at Congress, at you. And you’re abdicating your fundamental duty when you exert pressure on private companies to censor speech. Some in this room have been doing just that for years. We in the non-legacy media have been feeling the effects. In the name of the Constitution and the name of democracy, this should stop.”

“”” In other news, Former Governor Sarah Palin is blamed for starting all this by making it Marmot Day instead of Groundhog Day in Alaska. As everyone knows, marmots can’t forecast a darn thing, but they can model. /sarc From a KU press release: “””

Well that simply is not true; Marmots are great forecasters ! Back in the dark ages; round about the time when the Chinese invaded Mongolia; those northern nomadic tribes were great hunters and trappers; and traded in furs, including Marmots.

Once in a while; every few years or so, a Trapper would come back into town from his trap rounds; and tell the villagers that he had observed some Marmots up on a mountain that were all acting silly as if they were drunk on something.

At that news; the villagers would collect up all the recently collected pelts, in the town center, and burn the whole lot up; then they would burn the entire village to the ground; and move off into some adjacent valley, and start all over again.

Nobody knew why; it was just part of the tribal lore that they had learned from their ancestors; the Gods would be angry if they didn’t follow the ritual.

So when the Chinese invaded, and took over the place, and confiscated all the furs for themselves to send back to China; nobody thought to mention the ancient traditions that must be followed; and so when the Marmots started acting silly again; nobody dared to tell their Chinese masters, that they had to burn the town down.

The furs went back to China; along with the Bubonic Plague that the Marmots were the vector for; and those furs subsequently made it to Europe; and the great Plagues took off in Europe.

So Marmots are great predictors; if you know how to read them.

Every now and then the ground squirrels in the Kings Canyon National Park, all come down with Bubonic Plague and they have to close regions of the Park to campers. Plague needs a burrowing rodent like vector that hibernates through the winter; so the fleas that carry the virus don’t all die during the winter cold.

I commented a few years ago that Californicate could be looking at Bubonic Plague because of the Homeless encampments, RATS and FLEAS. Major recipe for the spread of the disease.

It seems like semantics.

Wiki:

President Richard Nixon proposed the establishment of EPA on July 9, 1970; it began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed an executive order.[3]The order establishing the EPA was ratified by committee hearings in the House and Senate.

Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970

Reorganization Plan No. 3 was a United States presidential directive establishing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), effective December 2, 1970.[1] The order, published in the Federal Register on October 6, 1970, consolidated components from different federal agencies to form the EPA, “a strong, independent agency” that would establish and enforce federal environmental protection laws.[2]

…In December of the same year [1969], Congress passed the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a bill that was intended to “create and maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive harmony” and to “assure for all Americans safe, healthful, productive, aesthetically and culturally pleasing surroundings.”[7] NEPA required any federal agency planning a project that would affect the environment to submit a report on the likely consequences of its plan.[7] President Nixon signed the bill on New Year’s Day 1970, declaring “that the 1970s absolutely must be the years when America pays its debt to the past by reclaiming the purity of its air, its waters, and our living environment.”[7]

Reorganization Plan No. 3 was proposed by President Nixon in a message sent to Congress on July 9, 1970.[8] The plan was authorized by a 1966 amendment to Title 5 of the United States Code (Government Organization and Employees).[9] After conducting hearings during that summer, the House and Senate approved the proposal.[citation needed] Unlike other agencies such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (also established in 1970), the EPA was not established by a single enabling act of Congress.

“The EPA was not established by a single enabling act of Congress.” But it was proposed by the president and approved by both houses of Congress. Unless I’m mistaken, it doesn’t seem to have been formed illegally.

I would be happy to do away wth the EPA, but I’m not sure that the way it was formed makes it any more illegitimate than so many other government agencies. If anyone knows more about this, please share.

“….but I’m not sure that the way it was formed makes it any more illegitimate than so many other government agencies.”

Anything not traceable to a particular part of Article I, Section 8, should be burned to the ground and the earth salted, IMHO.

[SOURCE]

I never expected to travel the world of a dollar-based central bank digital currency implementation. Two years ago, I was surprised by the construct of the Western sanctions against Russia; however, my curiosity was driven more by the outcome of the intended economic isolation, and not necessarily about the granular construct of the sanctions themselves.

What surprised me initially, was the conversation that never took place in the financial sector. For the first time in history the U.S Dollar was being used as a weapon, not only against Russia, but against any Western corporation who did not comply with the demands of the U.S government. I began highlighting the issue MARCH 5, 2022.

March 27, 2022 – within the interview [05:44 prompted], Senator Warner outlines the western approach toward Russia using cryptocurrency as a method to evade sanctions. Notably, Warner outlines that U.S. intelligence/U.S. Govt has control over U.S-based crypto exchanges and they are working with ‘partners’ in the financial sector to mitigate the use of crypto exchanges by non-U.S. actors. WATCH: 

All your banking are belong to us.
Previously I shared, the sanctions against Russia were unlike any set of sanctions that came before. The financial sanctions against Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela all stood as examples of prior economic sanction constructs, but the financial sanctions against Russia were different. The SWIFT exchange was shut down, Western trade into Russia was halted, and private Western corporations were forced to divest themselves of assets held within Russia.

comment image

Under the guise of “economically isolating Russia”, the sanction regime was driven by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. State Dept., and fully supported by Western allies in Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Each of the aforementioned nations followed the exact same path.

Given the history of the prior decade, where Russia enlarged its footprint of influence, the sanction regime just did not make sense. It was obvious that non-Western nations would continue trading with Russia, and most of those same non-Western nations were trading with the USA. My simple question was, “won’t alternate countries just step in to fill the void of trade eliminated by the sanctions?”

If, for example, India is still buying widgets from the Western zone, wouldn’t an enterprising Indian company just start buying extra widgets from the USA, Canada or Europe and then begin brokering a portion of those products into Russia? It seemed like common sense, and indeed that type of exchange is exactly what happened.

comment image

On the ground, in Russia, there are now Western stores missing, but the Western products are still available under different Russian flagship names. Starbucks closed, and now as you can see from above, it’s Stars Coffee. Same coffee, tables, chairs, cups, and even employees, just a different name.  Starbucks, and every other Western company was forced to divest, sell assets at fire sale prices, and exit the market.

All the following companies did the same.

comment image

Despite all the parent companies leaving, their retail products are still available through a system of brokered buying and distribution.  Third-party companies simply stepped in to fill the void.  You can still buy the newest Samsung TVs and Apple iPhones in Russia, but now they come with a slightly higher price, as the broker adds their markup.

On the financial side, the inability to work in dollars or Euros was initially a problem, but workarounds were fast to surface {SEE HERE}.

What I soon realized, in my research, was that essentially nothing changed for the ordinary people within Russia, other than some “branded items” were no longer available. Factually, most Russian people didn’t care, and a large percentage are oblivious to the sanction issue.  The sentiment of nationalism or national pride actually increased; they rallied around their leadership.

Two years later, the economy is doing well, Russia is selling energy to nations who have a need, trade is taking place in non-dollar denominations, and the impact is, well, really not much.

However, once you realize the sanctions never had any material impact, then the question is why it was so important to weaponize the dollar-based trade currency?  Surely other nations would now look at their dollar dependency as a potential risk because they too could become a target if the USG made that arbitrary decision.

That’s exactly what happened, and is a big part of the non-Western zone drive to join the antifragile BRICS+ trade alliance.

So, with all these downsides, why did the U.S. do these specific sanctions this way?
When I dug deep into this issue, I realized the financial walls were not created to keep Russia out of the financial system; the walls were erected in the Western zone to keep the dollar-based system locked-in.

ME: …”The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism but rather to create a domestic surveillance system. So too were the “Russian Sanctions” not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to a USA digital currency. The Western sanctions created a financial wall around the USA (dollar-based west), not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in. The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, created the control gate that leads to a U.S. digital currency.” (more)

In a letter to the shareholders of the world’s largest asset manager, Fink said the war will push countries to reassess currency dependencies, and that BlackRock was studying digital currencies and stablecoins due to increased client interest.

A global digital payment system, thoughtfully designed, can enhance the settlement of international transactions while reducing the risk of money laundering and corruption”, he said.

[…] In the letter on Thursday, the chairman and CEO of the $10 trillion asset manager said the Russia-Ukraine crisis had put an end to the globalization forces at work over the past 30 years.

[…] “While companies’ and consumers’ balance sheets are strong today, giving them more of a cushion to weather these difficulties, a large-scale reorientation of supply chains will inherently be inflationary,” said Fink.

He said central banks were dealing with a dilemma they had not faced in decades, having to choose between living with high inflation or slowing economic activity to contain price pressures. (read more)

(Reuters) – Global bank messaging network SWIFT is planning a new platform in the next one to two years to connect the wave of central bank digital currencies now in development to the existing finance system, it has told Reuters.

The move, which would be one of the most significant yet for the nascent CBDC ecosystem given SWIFT’s key role in global banking, is likely to be fine-tuned to when the first major ones are launched.

Around 90% of the world’s central banks are now exploring digital versions of their currencies. Most don’t want to be left behind by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but are grappling with technological complexities.

SWIFT’s head of innovation, Nick Kerigan, said its latest trial, which took 6 months and involved a 38-member group of central banks, commercial banks and settlement platforms, had been one of the largest global collaborations on CBDCs and “tokenised” assets to date.
“We are looking at a roadmap to productize (launch as a product) in the next 12-24 months,” Kerigan said in an interview. “It’s moving out of experimental stage towards something that is becoming a reality.”

Although the timeframe could still shift if major economy CBDC launches get delayed, getting out the blocks for when they do would be a major boost for maintaining SWIFT’s incumbent dominance in the bank-to-bank plumbing network.

[…] A raft of heavyweight commercial banks including HSBC, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale, Standard Chartered and the CLS FX settlement platform all took part too, as did at least two banks from China.

The idea is that once the interlink solution is scaled-up, banks would have one main global connection point able to handle digital asset payments, rather than thousands if they were to set up an individual one with every counterparty. (read more)

ALSO In 2022[White House] – President Biden often summarizes his vision for America in one word: Possibilities. A “digital dollar” may seem far-fetched, but modern technology could make it a real possibility.

comment imageA United States central bank digital currency (CBDC) would be a digital form of the U.S. dollar. While the U.S. has not yet decided whether it will pursue a CBDC, the U.S. has been closely examining the implications of, and options for, issuing a CBDC. If the U.S. pursued a CBDC, there could be many possible benefits, such as facilitating efficient and low-cost transactions, fostering greater access to the financial system, boosting economic growth, and supporting the continued centrality of the U.S. within the international financial system.

However, a U.S. CBDC could also introduce a variety of risks, as it might affect everything ranging from the stability of the financial system to the protection of sensitive data.
Notably, these benefits and risks might vary significantly based on how the CBDC system is designed and deployed. That is why Executive Order 14067, Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets, placed the highest urgency on research and development efforts into the potential design and deployment options of a U.S. CBDC. The Executive Order directed the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in consultation with other Federal departments and agencies, to submit to the President a technical evaluation for a potential U.S. CBDC system.

Today, OSTP is publishing its report, Technical Evaluation for a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency System, which lays out policy objectives for a potential U.S. CBDC system and analyzes key technical design choices for a U.S. CBDC system. The report also estimates the technical feasibility of building a CBDC minimum viable product and describes how a U.S. CBDC system might affect Federal operations. The report makes recommendations on how to prepare the Federal Government for a U.S. CBDC system. Importantly, the report does not make any assessments or recommendations about whether the U.S. should pursue a CBDC, nor does it make any decisions regarding particular design choices for a potential U.S. CBDC system. (read more)

A digital dollar creates a unique id attached to that digital dollar. Ultimately, the central bank that issues the digital dollar controls what the digital id can do (that’s you), and what those digital dollars can be used for (what you can do).

Digital dollars can be blocked from gun purchases, and digital ids can be used to stop unapproved users from purchasing guns – or a gas guzzling suv, or a house that’s too big, or the non-compliant fridge, or whatever.

Sellers of goods (or information) can have their ids banned from receiving digital dollars, just as VISA and MasterCard blocked sellers of guns from accessing their electronic transaction system. With digital dollars, “demonetization”, an alarmingly familiar modern term, can become a function of a financial regulation system. “Debanking” another alarmingly familiar term, also becomes much easier.

Ultimately, a dollar-based US-Central Bank Digital Currency, ie a “digital dollar,” is about control.

Every transaction has a unique digital fingerprint, and every digital dollar can be traced by the IRS to the digital id associated with it.

There is a BIG difference between electronic funds (current), and a digital dollar (future).
I believe President Trump is fully aligned with the concept of “financial freedom”…

There is a lot at stake in 2024!”

The article referred to in the 2nd Smartest Guy in the World blog post is here:

IMO, the entire “vaccine” landscape needs to be “torn up and redone.” Everything from the COVID-19 “vaccines” to the MMR vaccine to the HPV vaccine, and all the rest.

From the 2nd Smartest Guy in the World blog post:

*** BUT — THERE’S ** SOMETHING ELSE ** AT PLAY HERE: And it was slipped out by none other than DR. ERIC RUBIN, who sits on the VRBPAC committee of the FDA. This is his statement from 29 OCTOBER 2021, when the FDA granted the EUA for the Pfizer-BioNTech “flagship” COVID-19 “vaccine”, BNT162b2, to be used on CHILDREN ages 5 to 11 years:

“We’re never gonna learn how safe the vaccine is until we start giving it.”

Of course, Politifact ran a story a couple of days later, desperately trying to “explain away” what Dr. Rubin said:

If this is right, out of 330 million people in America, 43 million work for the government.

That’s not even close to sustainable…

It’s not just the biggest government on the planet… it may be bigger than ALL the governments on the planet, combined… 😂 🤣 😂

BREAKING: House Defeats Resolution Holding Garland In Contempt – Here are the Four GOPers Who Voted NO

Here were the four Republicans who voted against holding Garland in contempt:

Rep. David Joyce (OH-14)

Rep. Michael Turner (OH-10)

Rep. Tom McClintock (CA-04)

Rep. John Duarte (CA-13)

The measure would have fined Attorney General Garland $10,000 per day for refusing to hand over the tapes of Special Counsel Hur’s Biden interview. Luna originally promised to direct the House sergeant-at-arms to take Garland into custody, but pivoted and delayed her move after discussing the measure with Speaker Johnson.

Rep. Luna commented on this and included more information that TGP were not aware of: “There were members who said they didn’t support the other version. Meaning it would fail… Either way, I am literally the only person that brainstormed any accountability. If you dont like how the GOP VOTES as a whole get active, but trashing me without knowing details is exactly what the left does.”

I saw a statement from Luna earlier that she will bring it up for a vote again, I think. I hope so.

he managed to hang in, a few gaffes, a yell , whisper…but if I was a Biden it might make me get paranoid about who’s handling his meds because he was remarkably coherent. I love it for them..he did well enough to stay the course. Now what are the BHO faction going to do? TickTock

This is interesting. In the comments above, I read that this happened:

lotsa rambling. Some mumbling. Nothing of substance.
had an earpiece
corrected himself
set up answers, then lost track
gaffes, yell, whisper

The bar is set very low for what the appearance and behavior of a candidate and “president” should be. I guess he would have to completely flame out for the Dems to make him retire from the race?

This behavior from Trump would have had him “25thed” and impeached for a third time long ago. But I think the Dems are stuck in a lot of ways.

cthulhu

I heard some while driving. He kept trying to set up an answer, then losing track, then saying, “anyway….” and not answering. I thought it looked bad.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Good. Make the Dems tremble, but nothing bad enough to get rid of him!

TradeBait2

We watched it just for the laughs.

He continued mumbling, fumbling names, missing timelines of his self purported successes, rambling on without answering the questions, lying about everything, and so on. Tuned in after for the CBS response. The media obviously got the memo to carry his water the best they can. They even talked about it logistically being too late to make a successful change to a different candidate.

Clearly had an ear piece – corrected himself a few times immediately after saying something stupid or incoherent.

pgroup2

Nice catch on the earpiece.

I’m not sure what the big deal is, he seems perfectly fine.

[now that the public has stopped pretending the emperor isn’t naked, it’s more fun to take the other side, and pretend like FJB is perfectly fine, forcing them to argue that Brandon really is a basket case… so I can call them conspiracy theorists… let them find out what it’s like for a change 🤣 ]
