Dissent is not allowed in wartime.

Uh Jane Fonda and most every other rabid hippy lib in the 1960s?

"In that sense, if that comes to pass, we may end up thanking God that the Dems and RINOs betrayed our election system and wound up at the top of the house of cards. "

For any Believers out there, I've been thinking and saying this for a while. There are things that MUST happen and ARE happening that Trump would have fought tooth and nail to keep FROM happening .

This house of cards needs to collapse under the watch of those above in order for Trump to get reelected and to then begin to turn this boat around.

My hope is soon we can all see the Hand of God in all this mess. Alternatively, there's always the Rapture . .

We're old and we're not rich, but we don't have a mortgage, a home equity line or a car loan. We pay off our credit cards every month. We wear old clothes. As Mark may remember I, too, have a reel mower and mow my own lawn in the summer. We shovel the snow from our driveway ourselves in the winter. My iPhone is 9 years old. We don't have any health insurance payments other than the Medicare premium deducted from our Social Security. We have no chronic illnesses, recurring doctor's bills or drug expense. Our main recreation is pretty inexpensive: walking. We're retired and too old to fight or get drafted. Even our adult kids are now too old. We live frugally on less per month than our SSI checks in a small town in a mid-continent Red state with low taxes and a low cost of living. If SSI is reduced we'll tighten our belts. If SSI disappears we'll tighten more and dig into savings. Our savings are well-diversified, but not immune from a stock market crash. After that?

I'm one of the lucky ones (We worked hard for nearly 50 years...)

Why don't I feel very good about the future?

Interesting breaks in the wall / narrative:

1. 67% Majority believes Covid came from a lab.

2. Majority believe the gop and Dems worked together to defeat Trump.

Rasmussen:

How likely is it that Republican politicians in DC worked secretly with Democrats to keep Trump from being reelected in 2020?

55% – of all voters agree it is likely.

67% – Republicans

51% – Democrats

Just a passing thought -- Is crashing a US drone into the Black Sea today's equivalent of the Gulf of Tonkin incident?

Does anyone need reminding how the Gulf of Tonkin incident ended up working out for the US?

Credit Suisse was highly aggressive in freezing Russian assets and applying sanctions. Then China aligned with Russia. China is Saudi Arabia's biggest customer. Then Saudi Arabia refused to bail-out Credit Suisse. Now CS is de facto nationalized. See how it all works?

Amazing how quickly they declassified the MQ-9's MTS-B sensor footage of the Su-27 collision but we still haven't even gotten a single still frame of the 3 objects NORAD shot down over North America during the great balloon hunt.

Quite telling.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Admits Joe Biden’s Inflation Crisis is Linked to the Banking Crisis (TGP)

So Yellen says today that Powell has to address inflation. Guess what? That's what he's been doing. Don't expect rates to go down. TL is saying Powell got 90% of what he wanted in this deal.

It has always been my belief that local communities & citizen leaders will be the saving " foundation " for "whatever comes down the pike." With that thot, the 2nd part is that our elected Sheriff's should be the strength harnessed in support of communities. If the fed powers want to arrest and jail all dissenters, see how far they get within that local community structure! ( Many Sheriff's have already publicly denounced/ refused to enforce 2nd Amend abuses )

If the American people haven’t woke up to what’s going on over the past three years, I’m having a hard time seeing it ever happen. Comfortable slavery vs risky freedom. The national choice has already been made. Maybe the government can recruit some of these illegal immigrants they’ve been welcoming in to go off and be cannon fodder for the Russians. What is true?

The collective West is spinning out of control, or rather--out of the control of the Woke establishment:
