Video showing people pointing out the shooter that hit Trump's ear only moments later. Pretty crazy if its legit.

It really still blows my mind how bad the left is at combating Trump. They seem to be led by idiots. They make him into a sympathetic character to people that don't even agree with him or like him. They expose their insane thirst for control. Instead of being even handed and challenging him on the many angles they could, they take cheap easy shots their side loves but people who are neutral see right through. You've done this to yourselves establishment. Biden won't end the US if he wins. Niether will Trump. But some powerful people's lives will be negatively effected. That's the impression I get at least and we all need to be deeply afraid and do something! Vote! LOL The other impression I get is about a third of the country hates another third. Why? Control. They want us to all have the same moral belief system. And the group they hate wants to take us back to a fictional time that never existed by using politics. Its all so absurd. It exposes the flaws in our culture and politics. It demonstrates the true gods America worships. State power(violence) and politics. I am hopeful future generationns will learn from our mistakes. This system is falling apart before our eyes.

Jon Stewart is now mocking Biden's decline. What is most clear from this is that it is over for Biden because his supporters are finally being somewhat honest. I say somewhat because they are still acting like this wasn't clear before the 2020 election. Power is all they care about.

 From David Stockman > Like the case of Rome before it, Empire is bankrupting America. The true fiscal cost of the national security budget is now upwards of $1.3 trillion per year (counting veterans expense and international operations and aid), but there is no way to pay for it. >That’s because the 78-million strong Baby Boomers are in the driver’s seat of American politics. They plainly will not permit the $3.5 trillion per year retirement and health care entitlements-driven Welfare State to be curtailed. At the same time, Washington has become the War Capital of the World where the ruling UniParty insists that the massive fiscal claims of the Warfare State are non-negotiable. > Indeed, during 2017-2020 the Trumpite/GOP already sealed the deal. Trump massively increased the Warfare State budget, even as the Congressional GOP refused to reform Social Security and Medicare and proved to be utterly incapable of even laying a glove politically on Obamacare/Medicaid, Food Stamps or any of the other Welfare State entitlements. Meanwhile, the GOP remained all-in for its anti-tax allergy, thereby refusing to tax the American public to close Washington’s yawning deficits. > the outlook is now so dire that the CBO doesn’t even dare print the long-term debt numbers. Instead, it attempts to camouflage the catastrophe ahead by expressing the data in more cosmetic “% of GDP” terms without actually printing the underlying GDP figures. > CBO projected that nominal GDP would grow by the modest figure of 3.8% per annum for the next 30 years. In whole numbers that puts the nominal GDP at $85 trillion by 2054; and applying the 172% of GDP figure for the public debt results in a sum of $146 trillion! > America is racing toward a debt Armageddon at $146 trillion—implying interest expense of $7.5 trillion per year > Unfortunately, the generation which marched on the Pentagon in 1968 against the insanity and barbarism of LBJ’s Vietnam War has long since abandoned the cause of peace. So doing, boomers have acquiesced in the final ascendancy of the Warfare State, which grew like Topsy once the US became the world’s sole superpower after the Soviet Union disappeared into the dustbin of history in 1991. > In short order (under Bush the Elder and the Clintons) Washington morphed into the War Capital of the World, and became an imperial beehive not only of militarism, but of an endless complex of think-tanks, NGOs, advisories and consultancies, “law firms”, lobbies and racketeers. originally posted at

How the government killed wildlife to determine fines for killing wildlife

How the government killed wildlife to determine the fine for killing wildlife • Clip by @kepford • Listen on Fountain
Clipped from Bob Murphy Show • Ep. 331 Dan Kish on the Energy Bureaucrats Killing Baby Seals Dan Kish is Senior Vice President of Policy at the ...
 This is a clip from an interview with Dan Kish on the Bob Murphy show titled "Dan Kish on the Energy Bureaucrats Killing Baby Seals". Its one of the most absurd things I've heard in a while. Dan recounts the story of how after the Exxon Valdese Oil Spill disaster the US Fish and Game Department killed hundreds of wildlife, some of the endangered species in order to determine how much to fine Exxon for the disaster. They killed the animals and dunked them in oil. Then they dumped them in the ocean to calculate what percentage would float vs. sink. The story was told to the press and exposed. Did a bit of digging and I found some newspaper articles[^1][^2] referring to these events for those that are curious. I wasn't able to find the original article that Dan referred to. [^1]:

NATO's 75th Anniversary: The Broken Promises That Led to War - Antiwar.com
Reprinted from The Nation with permission. If diplomacy can pave the path to peace, then broken diplomatic promises can lead to war. Since the hope...
 I know many have a hard time with looking at history to understand how we got to where we are today. Especially if it doesn't help their arguments. Looking at the world as a set of good guys vs. bad guys is naive. This article outlines how NATO made and broke promises over the last 30 years. Do not mistake this for excusing reactions to these broken promises. There is not excuse. It is simply part of the story that isn't really expressed. In time it will be. Just as we all know how the US made and broke promises to the Native Americans over and over again. Just as we know that Hitler made and broke promises over and over again. The world saw that Hitler could not be trusted. Sitting Bull saw that the US government could not be trusted and I hope one day we will all see that governments in general cannot be trusted. All promises made are only as good as the political whims of the person in power. History isn't only about dates and events. Its about understanding multiple perspectives of what happened to get a better picture. If you first seek to understand instead of pick sides the picture becomes more clear. > On February 9, 1990, US Secretary of State James Baker famously offered Gorbachev a choice: either a united but independent Germany outside of NATO or a united Germany connected to NATO “but with the guarantee that NATO’s jurisdiction or troops will not spread east of the present boundary.” Baker later disavowed these words, saying it was merely a hypothetical question, but declassified documents refute Baker by adding his next statement. After Gorbachev replied, “It goes without saying that a broadening of the NATO zone is not acceptable,” Baker responded, “We agree with that.” originally posted at

Do you know anyone that self identifies as a Christian Nationalist? In the circles I frequent many people seem very worked up about the "Christian Nationalist" movement. I have some thoughts on this but one is that I've never met anyone that uses that term to describe their political/religious position. I wonder if I'm alone in this. I know they exist. There are some that have written books and make videos. What I have noticed is that these "Christian Nationalists" are what used to be called conservative Christians. Same politics. Same goals. Same people. Wondering what others have seen. originally posted at
