I hope I can continue to bask in the happy glow of the Trump admin's shock and awe campaign, but I'm already starting to get annoyed with news of leftist court filings intended to slow his momentum, maintain the status quo, and otherwise hose things up. I have so enjoyed the last couple of weeks.
The last thing he ever intended to do was make it easy on himself. And I'm fine with that executive order, by the way. "The end justifies the means" has been the left's code of "honor" for as long as I've been paying attention.
It's rumored that Gen Custer's last words at the battle of Little Big Horn were: "Uh oh!". The Democrats are uttering the same as they watch President Trump’s unelected bureaucrats dismantle their unelected bureaucrats shadow government. Ah, tis a beautiful thing.
Trump is giving us wins in all battles except the few that count. His and Musk's immediate actions are defeating us now by rapidly implementing digital ID, unrestricted A.I. and CBDCs. We can't lose these battles because their outcomes decide the war. Battle wins don't count if you lose the war!
You have an amazing mind, John Leake. I don’t share the breadth of your capacity for comparing great warriors from 150 years ago, much less 2000 years ago to what we are witnessing today, but I surely do appreciate what feels like a bird’s eye view.
Trump is absolutely a wartime president, and we are surely living in one of the most stunning times in history.
What people are witnessing, is ONE Faction of the DEEP STATE (aka TRAITOR Trump), destroying another Faction of the Deep State (DemonRats), because they GOT DRUNK WITH POWER and were SLOPPY!
Just like we'd seen in WW II.......a FAMILY FEUD......
where ONE Faction of the Family (Deep State) went to war with another Faction of the Family (Deep State).
Matters NOT which FACTION of the DEEP STATE that it IS........
Agree that might be true - orcs do squabble in Mordor. And I'm quite sure there are many "useless idiots" in both parties who believe that that's really whats happening.
However in this case I personally believe we are watching a co-ordinated good cop / bad cop act. Biden was the bad cop and Trump is playing the good cop role and they are working hand in glove to achieve the same end.
As Trump would say be quiet and take another of my "beautiful vaccines". People forget that it was he that murdered and maimed more Americans than any other person in history and still he won't ban these poisons.
How you can come to the conclusion President Trump is a faction of the deep state escapes me. Please educate me. It seems to me that he is upholding the constitution.
The raids on the slush funds of USAID etc. are really more the battlespace prep for the real attack. Cutting out the grafter NGOs means no deep state funding for astro-turf rallies or sympathetic news coverage etc. and seeing where the money flowed makes it easier to find new targets, but the real attacks are yet to come IMO.
John Leake, you are so deeply deceived by Trymp it's actually humorous.
You compare him to Sitting Bull? That's rich. Sitting Bull had morals and was a selfless leader.
Trymp is all about boosting Trymp. You fail to see that he is a classic malignant narcissist. Your worship of Trymp is unimpressive, to say the least.
You think he's going to save us from the big bad Democrats? Ha! He's just as corrupted as they are.
I'm sure you think its a great idea to take over Gaza. That's something only a boob would suggest. It reveals that he can't even think about foreign policy in a coherent fashion, has to resort to stupid suggestions that everyone but him KNOWS are stupid suggestions.
Come on, John Leake, 'fess up. Trymp's a hapless 4th grader, intellectually, and you should admit it, just so you don't look so befuddled yourself.
I'm a centrist, since you jumped to an incorrect conclusion. And you reveal that hot button issues, which do not reveal AT ALL a candidate's ability to lead, drive you to vote for a man accused of sexual predations by 28 (twenty-eight!) women. You think a serial rapist should be in the Oval Office? My my, aren't you a throwback to the Stone Age. But no, THAT doesn't matter, he's brought sanity (sanity? You call that sanity?) back to the Oval Office. Sorry, but he will always be a game show host and a beauty pageant emcee before anything else. You voted for him and that says a lot about you.
Hey Charlatan Prune (you of the hypocritical oath, you lazy oaf!)
A centrist? Sheesh ,Castro and Brandon were just super nice dirty old men to little girls and boys, showing them their “special” love, ankin to your self-delusional centrism. Ask Ashley Biden about her disgusting pedo old man. Not spurious and specious accusations, but documented fact by an adolescent daughter.
I too, voted to pull our country out of the Biden bidee, says how highly intelligent and insightful we both are. Scurry back to your fetid, dank muck.
It's strange the only big Indian victory we hear about is Little Bighorn. It was nothing compared to St. Clair's Defeat, aka "Battle of the Wabash", aka "Battle of a Thousand Slain" in 1791. 800-900 U.S. Army and militia dead, and another nearly 200 civilian camp followers killed along with them. Estimates of Indians killed range from 25 to 70 or so. Very weird all the endless hype over a much lesser U.S. defeat at Little Bighorn, compared to the slaughter at the hands of the confederation of tribes under Little Turtle and Blue Jacket.
Personally I don't find it very weird, but rather well within the deep channel of normal that such a defeat would have been minimized in histories of the time and place. There are many such stories, though few quite so spectacular.
When the time is right, which may take a substantial while, writing revisionist history can be a rewarding field, I'll say that much.
I suspect that in part — I would stress, in part— more attention was given to Little Bighorn because of better communications at the time. Add to the that the late 19th century entertainment industry.
To anyone reading here who might be curious, here's a short bit on St Clair:
Those are three reasons, valid ones, that I agree explain the near-invisibility of this epic white disaster/Indian victory. Strange things have explanations. I'm a bit surprised it continues to be so buried. Related to your third reason, there are a lot more movies and TV shows featuring 19th century plains Indians than 17th and 18th century Indian resistance east of the Mississippi. I haven't seen published numbers broken down this way, but from what I've read it seems Indians killed a hell of a lot more white people east of the Mississippi than west of it. Yet when people think of Indian warriors, it's Sioux and Apaches, seldom Iroquois, Shawnee, Miamis, etc. Because the entertainment industry ignored the earlier era.
This is a two part strategy. Actually it's many more parts than that and goes back centuries, but for the purposes of this discussion we'll just look at two.
Part one has been ongoing for a few decades. Fronted by a string of presidents from both parties the game was to use government to loot the country by borrowing and spending as much money as possible while ensuring that the spending was largely directed into crony pockets - whether through the MIC, foreign aid, research grants, fabricated nonsense like NASA and a hundred other scams.
Now that the country is at the stage where the debt is clearly unsustainable and the currency is about to implode, it's time for part two. Part two means wheeling in the liquidator. Trump is the liquidator. What he will do (aside from completing Israel's genocide / theft of Gaza - quite possibly with US soldiers on the ground) is to downsize government and ***sell off all the assets***. This is the same play which was run in Russia when it collapsed in the 1990s. All the assets will be sold off for pennies on the dollar and end up in the hands of a handful of oligarchs - the same cronies who milked the system into bankruptcy in the first place. I imagine we will see massive swathes of prime city center commercial real estate (no longer needed by the downsized goverment) be essentially given away. We may also see federal lands "privatized" - the lands that the federal government has been assiduously thieving from the states for many decades now (in some cases the federal government claims almost half of entire states belong to them).
And of course all the government employees will be laid off - many losing their pensions. Perhaps that's a good thing - after all they did nothing useful to anyone to earn them in the first place - still pretty tough way to treat your employees.
Trump works for the same people Biden did. Biden's job was to be so awful he makes Trump look like a savior. Seems to have worked. Now everyone's in love with the good cop. Look behind the mirror - Trump's a con-man and a grifter and has been all his life.
I have often wondered about something like this, as I trust NO ONE, at this point. I have often called “the situation” a “Uni-party,” or “two wings on the same bird.”
I agree completely. Unfortunately, most people won't read your comment because it is too long for their very short attention spans. Can you say "dumb and dumber"?
It is easy to say what you say: "Oh, he's like all the rest."
But. You present zero evidence or rationale.
Trump has plenty of dough and zero motivation other than feeding his narcisstic bent and sticking it to the jerks who screwed him, ALL, while he is having fun.
It really is that simple.
He doesn't apologize for the mistake of the mRNA jabs because he is simply not smart enough, has not read enough to know better and refuses to kiss ass because of his self-love.
One of "them". Nope. You are simply wrong.
BUT: you do have at least one dude here who is suckered in too.
You are correct that I have presented zero evidence right here in this comment. And I wish that your point of view were right.
You are however sadly incorrect when you imply that there is no evidence. There is an enormous body of evidence which demonstrates that my position is almost certainly the correct one.
Pulling all the evidence together into a coherent narrative, and presenting it concisely and convincingly however is not simple. I do intend to take it on, but keep procrastinating because I think it is a book-length job :-(.
FWIW I now believe that we have been told an enormous number of lies spanning almost all fields of knowledge, but especially in the areas of history, science, economics, philosophy/religion and (obviously) current affairs. A(nother) pied piper president is merely a tiny detail in the matrix.
I’m happy about so much deception and fraud coming to light. However, God humbles the proud. We must all remember this and the glory belongs to God. Trump is His instrument but Trump should acknowledge this fact openly everyday. I don’t like Ms White as his religious leader pick at all. What was he thinking?
Please leave Jesus and God out of this. Jesus would not approve of Trump as means to an ends. Trump is the image of everything Christ stood against. Jesus was a social revolutionary, taking on those like Trump - the greedy, unhumble, and ill-hearted. He would have been more comfortable with the hippies and (most of) their values than most of today's christians and their values. And he certainly would not agree with our mega churches and their leaders.
Jesus angrily overturned the money-lenders' tables, when they were doing evil. He never criticized countries engaging in wars. Jesus walked for miles each day and preached.
Many people of the Old Testament engaged in some violence that was needed to accomplish their purpose in fulfilling God's wishes for them to take back Jerusalem and the Holy Land. God has not hesitated to use violence to teach people a lesson. He only promised Noah's people that he would never send another worldly flood again. He was not at all like the relaxed "hippies" you referenced. He received the Holy Spirit when he was baptized in the river Jordan. The Holy Spirit counsels us regarding our actions. Of course, Jesus had no sin. He had to submit in the end in order to fulfill his Father's request for him to die to save us from mans' Original Sin.
Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword. Sounds like criticism of war to me. If I tell you to murder your son I expect you to say no whether I am God or not, I don't expect you to set about doing it as Abraham did. God chose a people he knew would be a great example to us, ....... an example of how not to be. Some people are only here to show us how not to be. Trump forgot that truth. He isn't overturning the money lenders tables he is pulling their chairs out for them like a penguin suited flunky.
Oh praise Neal! No universal class narcissism with your pseudonym at all!!! Sounds like thou projected too much. To presume you are single source of comprehension of Jesus’ and God’s wills is an astounding disgrace. You, sir (I guess?), have hubris that would make Pontius blush.
I hope I can continue to bask in the happy glow of the Trump admin's shock and awe campaign, but I'm already starting to get annoyed with news of leftist court filings intended to slow his momentum, maintain the status quo, and otherwise hose things up. I have so enjoyed the last couple of weeks.
Oh, the memories!
These days will make!
Trump not making it easy on himself. What, a dozen illegal, impeachable actions so far? Next will be a executive order: "the ends justify the means".
The last thing he ever intended to do was make it easy on himself. And I'm fine with that executive order, by the way. "The end justifies the means" has been the left's code of "honor" for as long as I've been paying attention.
For 50 years minimum.
FOA
It's rumored that Gen Custer's last words at the battle of Little Big Horn were: "Uh oh!". The Democrats are uttering the same as they watch President Trump’s unelected bureaucrats dismantle their unelected bureaucrats shadow government. Ah, tis a beautiful thing.
Exactly, John! More power to Trump and Musk!
Trump is giving us wins in all battles except the few that count. His and Musk's immediate actions are defeating us now by rapidly implementing digital ID, unrestricted A.I. and CBDCs. We can't lose these battles because their outcomes decide the war. Battle wins don't count if you lose the war!
You have an amazing mind, John Leake. I don’t share the breadth of your capacity for comparing great warriors from 150 years ago, much less 2000 years ago to what we are witnessing today, but I surely do appreciate what feels like a bird’s eye view.
Trump is absolutely a wartime president, and we are surely living in one of the most stunning times in history.
Nicely worded.
The DEEP STATE is NOT 'One Entity'.
There are many factions to the DEEP STATE!
What people are witnessing, is ONE Faction of the DEEP STATE (aka TRAITOR Trump), destroying another Faction of the Deep State (DemonRats), because they GOT DRUNK WITH POWER and were SLOPPY!
Just like we'd seen in WW II.......a FAMILY FEUD......
where ONE Faction of the Family (Deep State) went to war with another Faction of the Family (Deep State).

THEY STILL HATE YOU AND WANT YOU BROKE & DEAD!
Agree that might be true - orcs do squabble in Mordor. And I'm quite sure there are many "useless idiots" in both parties who believe that that's really whats happening.
However in this case I personally believe we are watching a co-ordinated good cop / bad cop act. Biden was the bad cop and Trump is playing the good cop role and they are working hand in glove to achieve the same end.

Yes, a quick scattershot to disperse the softer enemies put everybody on defense.
I would say the same.
Biblical
Everything is biblical.
Cavalry, people, and John. Cavalry. Not Calvary, Jesus has the soul rights to Calvary.
Heh heh.
Excellent allegory

Come on, John Leake, 'fess up. Trymp's a hapless 4th grader, intellectually, and you should admit it, just so you don't look so befuddled yourself.
Whether he’s a narcissist is of no concern to me. He’s done more for the sanity of this country than any other president in decades.
Ah, drunk on the MAGA Kool-aid. Statements like that do make you look ... uh ... intellectually challenged? Is that a nice way to put it?
So it’s not sane to end allowing men in women’s sports? It’s not sane to control our borders? You sound like a panicky liberal. LOL
yup, you tagged 'im, Mary.

I agree that Trump is not a Christian. Not convinced about the hippies though :-)
I doubt he, certainly not me, give a swaddle about your pointless attempt at a personal aspersion. Full enough of your caca?
Isn’t the Bible full of stories of men who did bad things before becoming an instrument of God?
uuuuuh, King David for one!
Absolutely! Example after example of flawed humans being tapped to do great things ♥️
Oh praise Neal! No universal class narcissism with your pseudonym at all!!! Sounds like thou projected too much. To presume you are single source of comprehension of Jesus’ and God’s wills is an astounding disgrace. You, sir (I guess?), have hubris that would make Pontius blush.
