The greatest war against Americans in my lifetime (and I'll be 59 in a couple of weeks) is being waged right now...from Washington, D.C. apnews.com/article/trum...

Agree. But this is definitely about the radical Right’s intent to take the U.S. and, by default, the rest of the world with it down a dark path.

The American right and Republicans see the EU as “Muslimizing” and self-destructive. The have also bought into the notion that Putin is the prime protector of white Christiandom. It explains a great deal and is completely in line with P2025’s dystopian future for the US.

Nor may we have the institutions or trust in one another. It’s striking to me that 34+ years after German unification that what was formerly East Germany voted overwhelmingly for AfD in 2025. In other words it may take 2-4 generations to restore (if ever) America depending on the level of damage

Much of what has gone on behind the scenes the last 8 years, and that is still going on now, will likely one day be referred to as the "JFK Assassination Files 2.0," in that...they will never see the light of day. 61 years later, people will still be hoping for the truth...and it will never come.

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated. It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing. I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

Canada is slashing its order of F-35 fighters from 88 to not more than 32. It will re-invest the billions saved to purchase 60 or more Swedish Saab Gripen E/F-39's. The USA is no longer a trustworthy ally. Simply.

All of my friends on here know where I stand on this crucial issue. If you aren’t yelling, “oh, cows!” or “Moo!” or waving at the cows (or sheep, or goats, etc.), then you aren’t my kind of people.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

The killed man is the brother of one of the most influential criminals, so this might have a major retaliation follow-up. Clans clashing out in the open again. Let's see if the regime has the muscles to silence this. And a reminder: criminal economy is prospering in Georgia.
