America is CORRUPT... and specifically the Democrat Party, and RINO Republicans are CORRUPT !

I COMPLETELY believe that BOTH are under the thumb of the "Deep State", and WE (America and Americans)... are moving closer and closer to a Totalitarian Police State... CONTROLLED by those groups !

AND... Donald Trump is the ONLY ONE that I TRUST to EXPOSE and DE-THRONE these SOB's... because of ALL the other candidates... WHO ELSE do we KNOW, IS NOT, under their control "?

Yes, I have high hopes for Ron Desantis... BUT, HOW do we KNOW he is on our side?  WE DON'T !!

BUT... Donald Trump?  HE HAS GONE THRU... 7-8 YEARS of DEMOCRAT, RINO, and DEEP STATE attacks... and WE KNOW, Donald Trump is the REAL DEAL !  I would argue almost ANYONE ELSE COULD be a ANOTHER Deep State PLANT !

The WOKE BS... as well as the tranny agenda in the "West"... is a BS PHASE, AND IT WILL be FOUGHT and DEFEATED... AFTER Russia, China, Iran, and the PRNK are DEFEATED.   ...and, Russia has one foot on the ROAD to DESTRUCTION... and the OTHER foot on a banana peel !!

Good point !

Outsourcing is never good sign for a super power.

Also...it is obvious NATO has training the Uk military.

Last but not least NATO is trying thier equipment out.
If I were Russia I would be VERY WORRIED...

THEY put their VERY BEST up against the "West's" outdated and surplus equipment, operated by an OUT MANNED but willing Ukrainian army... and ARE GETTING TROUNCED !!  Some examples:

1)  Russian tanks are sitting ducks to American made Javelin and other missiles...
2)  The Russian air-force has been GROUNDED because they CAN NOT stand up to, or defeat, US made surface to air missiles...
3)  20 year old U.S. Patriot surface to air batteries are being shown to be able to destroy NEW Russian Hyper-sonic missiles...
4)  Russian tactics and leadership are PATHETICALLY WEAK, and are they are being BEATEN by the Ukrainians at every turn...
5)  Russians can't even protect their equipment and ships from $500 electronic drones, packed with explosives...

WHAT will they do if they ever have to go up against "State of the Art" U.S... 1) Electronics, 2) 5th & 6th Generation fighters, 3) Kinetic war-heads, and 4) Laser weapons?  It will probably get UGLY, FAST !!

I'm sure China's eyes have also been opened... WHATS MORE... There are DOZENS of new U.S. weapons that are still Top Secret... and have not been deployed.  It would ONLY get worse for them, if they ever open THAT can of worms !!

DOZENS of WHISTLEBLOWERS have stepped forward, from ALL over the nation, accusing the FBI of being CORRUPT !

The more you listen to the testimony the more you KNOW... the Whistleblowers are CORRECT, and we (as a nation) are being SUBVERTED by:

1)  a CORRUPT DOJ,
2)  a CORRUPT FBI, and
3)  a CORRUPT Democrat Party that tries to PROTECT the CORRUPTION and the CORRUPT... at the EXPENSE of the INNOCENT !!

There is HELL that needs to be PAID for what OUR Democrat Controlled GOVERNMENT and GOVERNMENT AGENCIES are doing to US !!  ...AND, HELL will have NO FURY like the American PEOPLE SCORNED !!

FUNNY... Demo-Morons think Republicans vote based on skin color, and Democrats don't... WHEN exactly the opposite is true !  When a "BLACK" person has proven themselves as a CONSERVATIVE, Pro-American, and Pro-Liberty candidate and person... Republicans have absolutely NO PROBLEM supporting and voting for them... Tim Scott, Burgess Owens, Candice Owens, Ben Carson and others... 

HOWEVER... Democrats have shown that they WILL ATTACK, and VILIFY, any "black person" who is "NOT a Democrat"... indicating that for MOST Democrats, THEY see "Black People" as a "MONOLITHIC Group" who MUST be Democrat... even though "blacks"... are just people... and have THEIR OWN personal and political leaning... Democrats have turned politics into a "RACIAL issue"... where "Black people who are NOT Democrats" are LOWER than DIRT !!

Personally, I can't think of ANYTHING that is more RACIST, DEMEANING, and DIS-RESPECTFUL than that... NOT TO mention the RESULTS of that mentality... SPECIFICALLY... just about every inner city in America are Drug, Poverty, and Crime infested cesspools, WHERE Black Democrats have run things for GENERATIONS, and Black people have CONTINUED to be USED, and CONTROLLED, by the Democrat Party...

AND THAT is JUST the way the Democrat Party likes it !!

From back when conservative think tanks and groups like the Heritage Foundation and their affiliates dictated policymaking to Republican politicians like Ronald Reagan. Back when their various right winged PACS and interests like the Kochs and Mercers held little pow-wows and retreats with right winged judges like Scalia and Thomas.   

And when their Federalist Society provided Republican presidents and lawmakers with lists of potential judgeships comprised of far right ideologues. 

Back when their "war" on drugs wasn't a yet "crisis" (as it is now with opioids) and back when they and their right winged media outlets like Fox, promoted and promulgated thinly veiled, racist, dog-whistle rhetoric and anti-democratic propaganda on a 24/7 basis. Just like they do NOW. 

The coming of Trump was only the culmination of that ongoing effort. He was only the full EMBODIMENT of all they were already trafficking in. 

So it was NO wonder that his hate based, rabble rousing diatribes were so readily devoured by right winged voters, above ALL other contenders. And why they love him STILL. 

And now that they can see their goals on the horizon, they've unembarrassingly pulled out ALL the stops. Today, their sights are set on nothing less than a fascist, authoritarian MINORITY RULE style of government founded upon hate based nationalistic sentiment and they are acting, non stop, towards those ends. 

They've set about doing so via They've done so by turning the GOP into A CULT. And THEIR ENDGAME is nothing less than THE DEATH OF DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA.
DEMOCRATS.... THEY accuse others of doing... EXACTLY what THEY are doing THEMSELVES... the above is ANOTHER EXAMPLE of EXACTLY THAT !! 

It is the DEMOCRATS who are trying to DESTROY Democracy in America... JUST look at their POLICIES: 1) DE- FUND the police, 2) PRO CRIME, 3) The DIVISION and DESTRUCTION of the FABRIC of America, and 4) The sewing of HATE, one group against another, THRU-OUT America...

It's called PROJECTION... and it is the DEMOCRATS who are ACTIVELY trying to DESTROY America... NOT Republicans... and I THINK... America NOW REALIZES IT !!

Bob Iger is demanding head-count to shrink Disney's losses.  Losses due to people losing interest in their streaming platform and even their parks. So, of course Disney is not going to plan any new projects or hire new employees at this time - they don't have the money or resources or even the demand for their product to justify it.  So, in typical woke, leftist, Democrat fashion, Iger blames his company's failures on Ron Desantis.

DeSantis has far better things to do other than play nursemaid to the Sick Mouse.Image
What was once a FAMILY oriented company and business... has now turned into the FACE of WOKE-izm, and Liberalism, in America... Walt is turning over in his grave... BUT, the TRUTH be TOLD... Whatever is happening to Disney is NOT the fault of Ron DeSantis... and IS the fault of Disney management !!

THEY need to get a CEO in place who CARES more about AMERICA, about FAMILIES, and about TRADITIONAL American VALUES... MORE than trying to PUSH WOKE-izm on America !  Until they do...

TO HELL with Disney !

Durham said his investigation revealed that "senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically-affiliated persons and entities."...  "This information in part triggered and sustained Crossfire Hurricane... and contributed to the subsequent need for Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation," the report said. "In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents."...  "The Department did not adequately examine or question these materials, and the motivations of those providing them, even when at about the same time the Director of the FBI and others learned of significant and potentially contrary intelligence," the report said.
Durham is referring to past FBI leadership in his report – specifically former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

THEN...THIS doesn't even ADDRESS: 

1)  The REFUSAL to investigate the Hunter Biden laptop issue,
2)  The Letter drafted and signed by 51 senior DOJ and FBI people...ALL of which was a LIED about the laptop and it being Russian DISINFORMATION,
3)  Their failure to investigate the REPEATED Biden Family CORRUPTION, and PAYOFFS, AND
4)  Their efforts to SWEEP the ENTIRE issue under the RUG... WHILE, they gave Donald Trump NO SUCH BENEFIT of Doubt !!

The DOJ and FBI NEED to be GUTTED and RE CONSTITUTED... COMPLETE with:

1)  A NEW Charter,
2)  A RE-CONSTITUTED INDEPENDENT RESPONSIBILITY to the CONSTITUTION, the LAW, AND the TRUTH, and
3)  VERY SERIOUS LIST of Consequences, and Penalties, METED OUT, without REMORSE, if they EVER AGAIN stoop to the CORRUPT PILE of CRAP that THEY ARE TODAY !!

THERE MUST be an EXAMPLE... AND the GUILTY MUST PAY !

HA!!  ME TOO !!

Liberals will NEVER be able to figure out why Donald Trump BEATS them at every turn... BUT, he DOES !  HE just TOOK OVER the CNN Town Hall, and there was NOTHING they could do !!

It was supposed to be a CNN controlled Town Hall, where the moderator was supposed to keep the Town Hall on an ANTI Trump path... and the audience was supposed to ask questions that made Trump look foolish...

BUT, within a few minutes... it was OBVIOUS that the AUDIENCE AGREED with Donald Trump... and the Moderator TRASHED the "Audience Questions" part... and spent the REST of the Town Hall ATTACKING Trump HERSELF... Calling him a LIAR, asking leading questions that ALLUDED that he was guilty of things he NEVER did... and TRUMP let her KNOW it... MADE HER look foolish... and the AUDIENCE LOVED IT !!

Donald Trump is a FIGHTER... and THIS is why TRUMP NEEDS to be the Republican Candidate AGAIN in 2024!!  WHY?:

1)  NO ONE has MORE CAUSE nor INCENTIVE to CLEAN OUT the Washington & Deep State SWAMP than Donald Trump...

2)  America can REST EASY that Donald Trump (with a Republican Congress) WILL PURGE the Washington SWAMP... and

3)  NO ONE hits the CRAZY Lefties HARDER, using TRUTH and LOGIC, WHERE it hurts MOST MORE than Donald Trump...

AND, the CNN Town Hall was a CASE in POINT

HA!!  IT'S TRUE !!

The CNN "Moderator" (more like a Propagandist), when she saw that Trump was getting the BEST of the Liberal talking points... SHE TRIED to SHUT down the CROWD by NOT letting them to ASK any more questions (HA!!)... and THEN... SHE started:

1)  Asking Trump leading questions,
2)  Calling Trump a LIAR as PART of her LEADING questions, and
3)  Interrupting Trump, and NOT letting him answer the questions that SHE asked...

The CROWD saw RIGHT THRU it !!  ...and when Trump called her out, and called her a BAD person... THEY LAUGHED... because THEY KNEW he was RIGHT !!  HA!!  Donald Trump DESTROYED CNN !!

Don't be surprised if CNN NEVER gives Trump another opportunity to speak, in anything NEAR an open forum discussion... BECAUSE THEY NOW KNOW... when it comes to a BATTLE of MESSAGE, HONESTY, TRUSTWORTHINESS, and WIT... THEY are UNARMED !!

The case will be appealed... and during the appeal, her comments will HAVE to be considered !

I think they ALL KNOW they will lose any appeal that is heard ANYWHER OTHER than New York... WILL FAIL !

Trump was ALSO CORRECT when he said recently... THAT there IS NO JUSTICE... in New York, OR in Washington DC !

YOU are correct... AND, I BELIEVE that they KNOW THAT... AND THAT is why they didn't care if she got on TV and said what she said.  THEY got a conviction in NY, and EVEN if it's overturned (which I believe it will be)... THEY will STILL be able to claim Trump was CONVICTED !!

THEIR problem HOWEVER is... THEIR "Justice" means LESS than NOTHING to 99% of Conservatives... THAT IS BECAUSE the Liberals have been trying the SAME tactics for YEARS against Trump, and have ALWAYS FAILED.  This time in NYC... the BLIND squirrel found an acorn... I ALSO believe that Independents are coming to the SAME conclusion as Conservatives.... and even MANY Democrats are beginning to WONDER if their party is being HONEST... or if THEY are more the PROBLEM, than the solution !
