    Merry Christmas to everyone.

    Even the Leftoids - if only because I know it will trigger you.

    I sincerely hope your mom lets you up from the basement for Christmas dinner with the rest of the family.

    Isis doesn't celebrate Christmas. So I'm happy Trump sent them a little present to make their day interesting.

    Yes and it's hilarious. I was telling my 9 year old son about it and he was laughing how I described "The Democrat who almost became USA's vice president is being investigated by the FBI for the theft of more than $250 million dollars."

    And of course, as the FBI said "The $250 million dollars is just the tip of the iceberg."

    "Covid money for children's food" has always been a scam. They do it in my city every year. They call it "P-EBT" (Pandemic EBT) and everyone in the city automatically receives it. I'm sure that somebody is skimming the sh!t out of it.

    I hope that this is not all normalized. The liberals just through money around with no care whatsoever.

    I never hear of all this kind of fraud in my life. I always though the government was there as a safety net... and then in come the Democrats and they think government money is there to buy votes.

    I hope we can pull out of this.


    I like Marco even better.


    I like anyone that's good and can win.

    Here me out... Lets just say that JD is working/apprenticing over the next 3 year to be a GREAT executive so that he can replace Trump if Trump doesn't try a 3rd term. That, coupled Marco's work in Foreign Affairs over the next 3 years will make those 2 unstoppable.

    There is a lot to say here. Voters need to be smarter about who they vote for.

    There is a lady in N.C. running for Congress/Senate named Lakeshia M. Alston. She was and voted Democrat until recently where she is now a Republican running uncontested for her seat. She wears a Burka-Like headdress.... It looks like a Burka but it only covers her face and her titties, unlike and to my understanding Bukas cover the entire body.

    Someone needs to challenge her. She'll win the seat because No Democrat is challenging her as a Democrat... RINO is not even a word we'll be able to use for her.

    Primaries for Democrats are just a fight for the opportunity to make millions. IOW: No matter which goon the Democrats pretend to elect, he/she will jsut just do whatever George wants anyway.

    This is not the first time... I forget the State... Colorado I think... There is a Sheriff that couldn't get elected until he changed parties... He changed to a Democrat and he finally got voted in.

    He Sheriffs like a Republican, but said he was a Democrat so he can work.

    I was listening to videos as I was typing away here... DEPRESSING... Republicans need to be more like Democrats in that they stick together.

    NY has US Sen Chuck Schumer (D), his term ends in January 2028, and US Sen Kristen Gillibrand (D), her term ends in January 2031. But "No contender" is a phrase I'm familar with. It wouldn't suprise me if the GOP says "We couldn't find a candidate willing to run against Chuck Schumer."

    I think this is why Trump is moving people around... Elise... He might want to use her somewhere else.

    I read that she's stepping away from politics to spend more time with her kids.

    I was listening to videos as I was typing away here... DEPRESSING... Republicans need to be more like Democrats in that they stick together.

    That's a good point but what about when some of them have been bought by George? We can't stick with them at that point.

    It's interesting that he said that, but I honestly don't know what he's talking about. Democrat always "come together." They all know how to vote on everything, so how much more together can they come? Unless he's speaking in code to the RINOs and "Normals" is code for "RINOs."

    Could be why I didn't see any Republicans wanting to through their hats into the ring.

    I thought Chuck was worried about AOC challenging him in the 2026 primary.


    I read that she's stepping away from politics to spend more time with
    her kids.


    I hope you're wrong... I was on Wikipedia looking at her profile... and what a resume. When she graduated from Harvard she worked in Geoge W.'s administration.

    With a resume like that she could run for president and win...


    That's a good point but what about when some of them have been bought by George? We can't stick with them at that point.


    The list goes on and on of the right leaning retards... MTG, Tucker... the list goes on and on... Barry has a meeting with everyone and they all fall in line.

    If we loose the midterms we have no one to blame but ourselves.

    No... He was making the point I made above. FOCUS... Don't fight in public about stupid shit... Far Far Left to the more moderate liberal. Worry about policy arguments later.

    Barry knows that Trump will loose the election because of the economy. So, they renamed the word inflation to affordability... and has the media and all the talking heads talking about affordability rather than everyone talking about his wife's penis.

    They can't call it inflation... call it something else...

    These assholes will come together and lie to win.

    Meanwhile the world is on fire and trump is working 20 hour days.

    We all need to come together win the midterms and focus on policies that will help us in the future.

    and just as I wrote this to you this headline comes in...

    I thought Chuck was worried about AOC challenging him in the 2026
    primary.

    The thing about NY people (the dumb 56%) is that they think they're cool, and that by doing what the media subliminally tells them to do elevates them and sets them apart from the "dummies" like me (43%.)

    They'll vote for who the media tells them to vote for; there's no flipping them. They are a different animal from (for example) the former leftists in
    Michigan who woke up in 2024. These NY people (43%) are just dumb as sh!t and nothing can be done about that unless we try electroshock therapy.

    With a resume like that she could run for president and win...

    Elisa Stefanik is good looking too. I was hoping that we were going to have a beauty contest next year, but it ain't happening. Bruce Blakeman is our man. I'm doing the nightly prayers for him just like I did for Trump all last year. Bruce is cool, I just hope he knows how to kick ass.

    If we loose the midterms we have no one to blame but ourselves.

    Tonight is the eve of my wife and I's anniversary... She's in the DR and will be partying like it's 1999. I'll keep things short so as not to exhaust myself.

    I know that you are upstate and not living in the city. And I'm not from there and cannot speak fully on this, but will try anyways.

    I think this Mamdani election was/is a pivotal point. Staten Island is talking about leaving the city... GBG.

    NY might just need a few years of the Mamdani Shit Show to wake up a little.

    More companies may have to leave taking their tax base with them... their billionaires and and employees... BTW, Budweiser is leaving California and some Cheese factory, the Cheese factory that is leaving is responsible for making 85% of the mozzarella cheese for the US.

    There will be a point where California, Illinois and NY will have lost whatever tax base it had to even run the states, now gone.

    I was watching the news and they said they need at least 10K more police for NYC... there maybe an additional 4K retiring in 26...

    The over weight blue haired freaks may never lear ... sorry that was the Somali spelling for Learn....

    Chicago is looking at doubling the property taxes for the residence and Florida is on the cusp of passing no property taxes for its residence.

    People are catching on.

    I think 2 years of Mamdani's policies implemented and you'll have new Republican Senators and hopefully y'all can pull out of it.


    Elisa Stefanik is good looking too. I was hoping that we were going to have a beauty contest next year, but it ain't happening. Bruce Blakeman
    is our man. I'm doing the nightly prayers for him just like I did for Trump all last year. Bruce is cool, I just hope he knows how to kick ass.


    Lets hope Bruce gets in and restrains Mamdani

    And that's all you can do. I was talking to the woman I help get her Green Card... She's in Maryland... Her Step-Son is on my FB and he's a Trump supporter and lives in Baltimore, he's like 15.

    He wears a MAGA hat everywhere... everywhere... To school, to the mall... everywhere... Tressa said that people come up and ask to take pictures of him and with him.

    So, if you buy into the narrative you'll think we are screwed... If you actually pay attention to what they are doing... and you start to realize that we are not alone.

    NY might just need a few years of the Mamdani Shit Show to wake up a little.

    I don't think that will do any good.

    NYC (and California) are models for what happens when the majority of the population is useless and wants
    only hand outs.

    For NYC, I believe that the Great Replacement Project has some to fruition. They imported illegals and let them vote.
    They went lax on crime to get people to allow them to have more power to fix the crime problem that they created.
    Then the productive people closed up shop and left.

    The city is now majority leeches and useless people, so there's no legal way to change direction.

    What's going to happen now is that Mamdani will have his hand out to the state and federal gov't's to give him money to prop up his socialist programs ("Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money."). But that won't work. IHMO: By the end of Trump's term, NYC will have completely collapsed.

    More companies may have to leave taking their tax base with them...

    More companies **WILL** leave...

    And that's in addition to the companies who already have dropped their leases because it's cheaper to have their people work from home. And the companies who have already left.

    There will be a point where California, Illinois and NY will have lost whatever tax base it had to even run the states, now gone.

    They've aleady lost it. They are so deep in debt right now it's amazing. And the Fed flow of money is stopping.

    I was watching the news and they said they need at least 10K more
    police for NYC... there maybe an additional 4K retiring in 26...

    Let's just build a wall around NYC and turn it into a prison. Maybe we can send Kurt Russell in sometime.

    The over weight blue haired freaks may never learn

    They **CAN'T** learn. That's the problem with them. But they have probably gotten 16 COVID jabs. So they will probably die soon.

    Chicago is looking at doubling the property taxes for the residence and Florida is on the cusp of passing no property taxes for its residence.

    Standard Leftist play: When their policies fail, double down on the failed policies.

    It's like they never learned basic math (2*0 = 0) or economics (raise prices and people will buy less of it).

    People are catching on.

    They are realizing that they can't change things in the gov't because of the voter fraud. So they are acting on what they CAN change.

    I think 2 years of Mamdani's policies implemented and you'll have new Republican Senators and hopefully y'all can pull out of it.

    Nope. Won't happen. There's simply not enough people who will vote for them.

    If you have a population that's 75% "gimme, gimme, gimme", they aren't going to vote for a Republican.

    That's 100% correct. I have an old friend who is guilty of this too: he's from upstate, but he has a NYC phone number because he thinks that's cool. Then he goes around to other states telling people "I'm from New York." He's insane and the thing he's trying to be is not a good thing at all.

    are just dumb as sh!t and nothing can be done about that unless we tr electroshock therapy.

    I think this Mamdani election was/is a pivotal point. Staten Island is talking about leaving the city... GBG.

    They should do it. I'm not too concerned about Mamdani because he can't really victimize me. Eric Adams was a far left lunatic too, and so was the mayor before him (Michael Bloomberg.) They don't scare me. Kathy hochul is the real enemy.

    More companies may have to leave taking their tax base with them... their billionaires and and employees... BTW, Budweiser is leaving California and some Cheese factory, the Cheese factory that is leaving is

    If they can make more money in a different state, then that's great. That way they can keep their prices consistent (better for us.)

    DEI can "solve" that hiring issue. Since the city already sucks anyway, why not fill up the police force with lazy unqualified people? Then Mamdani can brag about "We no longer have an officer shortage!" (The media will love it.)

    I think they can see it, but they're too arrogant to accept it. It feels better to double-down on failure than to acknowledge to a mistake.

    Tim Walz for example; right now he should be apologizing for the fraud, but instead he says he's "investigating it."

    Robert Deniro's another one. He sold his soul for the left, at the expense of his own grandson's life, but now he says he's "moving out of NYC because of Mamdani" because apparently money is more important to him than his own grandson's life.

    If Staten Island pulls out leaving the "Tin Walz Like" Boroughs left to defend stupid ideas you vote in might be a good thing.

    And they are... The In-N-out Burger is a tragic story... Founded In California, 1948, is moving. The young woman who owns the place now is the granddaughter of one of the starters.

    California talked about taxing people's net worth 5% annually... She did the math and moved to Tennessee before the end of 2025 where she would have to pay all that in taxes.

    Now California is going to be missing all that tax revenue and Tennessee will be raking it all in.

    The "Why" is usually debatable but the results are the same: They keep doing the same failed thing over and over expecting a different outcome. Isn't that the definition of "insanity"?

    Tim Walz for example; right now he should be apologizing for the fraud, but instead he says he's "investigating it."

    He's in a hard spot because he was in on the fraud. He can't admit anything because then those words would be used against him in his trial.

    If he's so opposed to Mamdani then he should have been more vocally supportive of Curtis Sliwa. But I didn't see him giving any
    anti-Mamdani speeches; just anti-Trump speeches.

    The problem with useful idiots like DeNiro is that they believe that they are in the Elitist class. But the reality is that the Elitists are just using them.

    But like most leftists, he has no self-awareness or critical thinking skills.

    This trick has been going on for a LONG time now. Well before even Trump's first term.

    But like all scams, they get compacent and lazy and then are easily exposed.

    Do you remember the Great Train Robbery in the UK back in the 1960's (they did a movie on it). Perfect crime. They stole gold, which is easily transformable. No clues left any trails. They actually ran a gold smelting plant - which was perfect for laundering the stolen gold.

    What caught them was that they got lazy and while they did good "security" at first bringing their laundered money to the bank, they slipped up to the point where the bank got suspicious and alerted the authories.

    Why don't we stop with the "left vs. right" narritive?

    It is the battle of the sexes created by the toxic men hating femenists, which is a naritive started by the eugenics and nihilist movements. If you destroy the family you reduce the population by default. We now have a group of people who hate men, and the men are tired of being hated but still being used as ATMs.

    On the political front, we have very little moderateism you are either on the right blaming all the problems on the left.. Or you are on the left, blaming all the problems ont he right. At the top, the last 5 administrations (Bush Jr, Obama, Trump I, Biden, Trump II.). Which have been far right, far left, far right, futher left, further right. It now become a huge pendulum whos momentum is taking more and more unity and creating more and more division each swing. The only people bennifiting from this are the rich elite who are raking in obscene record profits while we fight amongst ourself.

    Why don't we stop with the "left vs. right" narritive?

    Man, until today, I've done a pretty good job of steering clear of this echo for a while... *lurk lurk lurk*

    Because the media won't let us. And the political machine won't let the media stop pushing it.

    And it's a damn shame, because behind all the "bleeding hearts" and under all the "red caps" are typically some decent people who would otherwise be fully capable of sitting down and having a salient conversation about how to solve problems and make the world better.

    Unfortunately, emotions are more reliable than reason.

The only people bennifiting from this are the rich elite who are raking in obscene record profits while we fight amongst ourself.

    That pendulum is something I've been watching over the past decade or so as well. Rather than finding some sort of equilibrium, it's more like a resonant driving force on both sides, increasing the amplitude with each swing. It's pretty gross.

    I personally think you can blame the AWS NextGen Stats you see during NFL games. Well, okay, not that specifically, but we've figured out what we can feed the teeming masses that will get them off the "moderate fence" and get them to align with a side.

    In the days of old, we were simply mild-mannered swing voters or independents. Now? We're like friggin' Bitcoin. There's an algorithm or a formula or a plan to get us locked into a certain worldview. The downer is, it's been working.

    The whole landscape is just so incredibly vitriolic and destructive.

    I miss the days of having meaningful (even heated) -- yet RESPECTFUL -- discourse with people of differing opinions. It brought out the better in me, for sure. Being secure enough with yourself to say, "Hey, that's a good point. I need to reconsider my position..." That appears to be a lost art. It's all ad hominems, straw men, cherry picking, red herrings, and -- bringing it back to your original point...

    There can be only two choices. Choices... parties... whatever.

    I understand you avoiding it like the plauge, as it seems no matter how much research and fact you put into your post it is always the same people saying the same things back.

    I find the conspiracy echo much more informed, mild mannered, and intellectually engaging (Which I find odd, but maybe that is just a sign of the times..). What would be have been considered checkout isle yellow journalism just 10 years ago seems to be common place.

    I need to find out how they get nominated because they are the most ridiculous group that I've ever seen. The president counts every second to make sure that I don't speak for more than 3 minutes. One lady puts her hands behind her back during the pledge of allegiance.

    *Laugh* What makes you think that a national school board would be MORE responsive to parents?

    The purpose of keeping school control local was so that the schools would be more responsive to parents.

    In Michigan, schools used to be funded through millages. These were taxes that voters could approve or not. Schools had to stay on the parent's good side because if they pissed them off, they would vote down the millages and the schools had less money.

    Then the Lefties changed things and made the schools funded by the State. Now the schools just thumb their noses at the parents when they complain.

    A national version of this would only be far worse. At least now, we can vote them out easily.

    I know what you mean.

    So a local area built a brand new school building, then used it for, maybe, 2 years. Then they decided that there weren't enough kids and closed the school, consolidating all the kids in an older school in a "central" area.

    The new school building was sold and turned into apartments (which is weird). But later it was found that the building was sold for pennies on the dollar to a school board member who then flipped it to another company for a very large profit to make the apartments.

    It's like they don't understand the term "conflict of interest" here.

    At first, the actions of the school board - and the member involved - was strange. But then I realized that because of the dropping birth rates, schools have excess real estate. And the people on school boards seem to be closet crooks.

    The "school board" is a bad concept to begin with. We can vote for board members, but then we have no say in what they do once elected. And as soon as they link up with the other elitists on the board, they're all just doing what George wants.

    The new school building was sold and turned into apartments (which is weird). But later it was found that the building was sold for pennies
    on the dollar to a school board member who then flipped it to another company for a very large profit to make the apartments.

    We don't have enough people who we can count on to investigate things like this. The school district here is shutting down one of the elementary schools for 2 years to remodel it, and they're going to increase class sizes at other schools while this one is closed. At the next meeting I'm going to ask to see the contractor estimates to find out why they went with this one because 2
    years is a long time to trust a contractor and I want to find out why the competitors (assuming there are some) were not chosen.

    At first, the actions of the school board - and the member involved - was strange. But then I realized that because of the dropping birth rates, schools have excess real estate. And the people on school boards seem

    They're not very smart people, they just know the tricks of the left. We'll figure them out.
