Floods of information never work with the public. Most people forget even really damning stuff eventually with coloring by the media.

A constant trickle is better. The media has to constantly defend and gaslight. And that's what has been going on since 2016.

The net effect is most people simply assume everyone in government is corrupt. Too much constant smoke for there not to be fires.

Faith in government and media is at an all time low. "Fake News" is now an everyday term used by nearly everyone.

And that's the goal. The public is just about primed for accepting arrests of the corrupt, even if many don't know the details. It's no longer "surprising " to anyone that any politician or government official would be guilty of something.

And believe it or not, the Democrats did a lot of the work, along with the media, in creating this attitude.

China and Soros and others have definitely taken advantage of the situation, but it was the Soviets who twisted education/academia and media.

They just didn't last long enough to enjoy the fruits of their labors, so others are trying to use it.

China may be treated with kid gloves by some corporations and some media, but they don't get the same warmth from your neighborhood Bolsheviks as the USSR did.

It's a good strategy to keep driving a wedge between China and American leftists. Hong Kong has proven to be a useful tool for that.

And frankly, Chinese communism has more in common with national socialists than Bolsheviks. The garbage these college reds are taught is quite at odds with the CCP.

The logical conclusion of atheism is nihilism.

Basically not in cities. Cities are cesspools. Yeah I know they offer a lot of entertainment, dining, and shopping...but you don't need to live in a city to access that.

There are lots of great towns outside of major cities, and that's where you want to go if you want the best of both worlds.

Never heard of no three wolf moon. But there's a three dog night, when it's cold as hell you get all the dogs in the bed to keep you warm.

And if it was moist, was it a bint and did it lob a scimitar at you?

Just because I don't mention the reason why such a thing was pushed, doesn't mean I "missed the point ".

I could write a book on it, but it was just a comment.

Society has never been great without great women. And that greatness came from being mothers who helped instill the values in their children that lead to greatness, and being wives upon which every great man relies.

The worst thing feminists ever did was to convince people that the role of the housewife was unimportant or secondary, when in fact it has been the very foundation of civilized society for millennia.

And we are now seeing the results in a very short amount of time, what happens to a people who abandon that foundation.

Ironically, women lost an immense amount of power in the process as well. Behind any great man was a great woman who was the one person in the entire world who completely had his ear.

Now, so many marriages are like temporary partnerships. Both sexes are weakened by, as is society.

Exactly. MLB simply isn't as relevant in American sports as it used to be, so less people care.

I think they missed an opportunity here.

I catch Tucker now and then, but I watch OANN for news.

They need to bust out the LRAD on them. They'll stop what they're doing real quick.

Airwolf, The Incredible Hulk, A-Team, and Knight Rider were my shows growing up.

I wear a mask into certain stores because they've started putting security guards outside to turn you away if you don't have one.

And I wear a mask at work because it's the policy.

Not everyone wearing one supports it or thinks it does anyone any good. The 7/11 by my house doesn't enforce it and most people that go in there don't wear one.

I'm not going to let this convince me to "lose faith in Americans" or believe they can't think for themselves. People will put up with things to a certain point when fighting it doesn't accomplish anything.

I'm not going to sacrifice my job over this mask thing or search for a grocery store that doesn't enforce it when I have a perfectly good one right in town.

Especially when I know damn well that it'll go away after November. Every time I have to put the damned thing on I end up smiling, because it reminds me that it's one more reason why Trump will be reelected.

Similarly, the one guy I work with who gets really pissed off when people are late is black.

And the "dirtbag" in our team who can't seem to show up on time or bathe regularly or wear clean clothes is a white guy.

And in my experience, these aren't "exceptions". Character is the common thread, not race.

Well he's a legislator. Legislation is his most basic method of "fighting back".

What precisely do you expect him to do? Make a "citizens arrest" of a mayor?

I'm not pretending it'll go anywhere, thanks to congressional democrats, but he's pretty limited constitutionally as to what he can do, especially with regards to states and cities.

"Still"?

Hell, the Democrats are forcing people to vote Trump at this point.

While I do support that sort of punishment for younger kids, it's less about how parents punished their children and more to do with being actual parents.

The same group of parents who opted for "time outs" or "a conversation" with kids who respond to neither also never established an authority role in their lives to learn from. The same parents put their hellions on a permanent pedestal, telling them they were always winners.

These kids never learned respect, responsibility, or reward. And they turned into narcissists on top of it.

The more public "experts" tout the military and economic power of China. But for several years now, the actual experts not quoted by the likes of the NYT or WaPo have had the view that China would quickly and violently collapse in the event of a real conflict.

I've read multiple articles going so far as to say such a conflict could be entirely economic, as in a complete severing of trade relations, seizure of Chinese accounts and holdings in US jurisdictions, with only the Navy playing a passive military role.

I'd prefer trying that route instead of a real military war, as the Chinese do not believe in limited war, even if losing is assured.

I suspect most, if not all of these NeverTrump types are dirty as hell.

Keep in mind, the greatest threat President Trump presents is to the corrupt. That is why they are fighting him so hard.

If Trump is successful in revealing the level of that corruption throughout all levels of government, the number of people facing potential prison sentences is enormous.

They'll fight every inch to prevent that. But if (when) President Trump wins reelection, they'll lose the ability to stall him for long.

I don't see it as "4D chess" but more as classic savvy politics. He didn't support forcing people to wear masks, and he didn't go against the current convention of wearing them in closed spaces either.

Basically he didn't give his enemies any real talking points against him, while not really committing to mask mandates.

It's pretty much a nothing-burger as far as statements go.

Lol...right. only comment ever on here.

Get out of here troll.

I very much believe it is not considered acceptable by many. That a significant percentage of Americans support any of this is an illusion. It's a loud minority, with allies in positions of power.

Why do you think it is that so much suppression of speech is necessary? Or that media has turned into flat out propaganda? Would any of that be necessary if a sizeable portion of the American public believed in any of it?

All it has done is silence an increasing majority leaving little but the loudest "woke" voices to echo this garbage.

It can make it feel like everyone else has lost their minds and believe in radical leftism and racial "justice", but it's just a feeling. It isn't reality.

If it was, Trump never would have won. Not even close.

I agree. I've got mixed feelings about the confederate flag. On one hand it's become a symbol of the South and that's all it really means to most people who fly it. On the other, it is literally the flag of a former enemy of the United States.

Either way it doesn't belong on a military base or government buildings.

This is a perfect comment.

As has been pointed out by others, "we" know the story, those of us who are actively engaged on here, CTH, and a few other places.

But the American People at large don't really. And until they do, action can't happen.
