“I had heard that Jeffrey Dahmer had become a born-again Christian in prison.”

He may have affected to be born again, but I have my doubts that a psychopath can ever really be repentant.

We have forgotten how to be VIOLENT in the pursuit of the GOOD.

Nailed it.

People are just too darn willing to nice their way into slavery.

A few months ago there was some tranny who gave the cop the finger while driving. Not the nicest thing to do but protected speech. What followed was the cop stalking the tranny, pulling he/she or it over on the flimsiest of excuses and beating the crap out of tranny.

Not acceptable behavior. But you had people who defended it on the basis of "you need to show proper respect to authority". How about no. Not to authority that will do you harm because you were doing something perfectly legal although not very nice.

Paragraphs are our friend.

You are correct that is exactly where we are. which is why Jefferson said that “from time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of Patriots and tyrants”.

That’s where we are headed if a 2024 election is allowed to take place because we all know it will be stolen right in front of our face just like last time. Only this time it will kick off a massive reaction.

Fortunately for us Donald Trump and who ever you want to label as the alliance are going to spare us that nightmare. Even now we are watching things unwind at an accelerated pace. I can’t imagine what it will look like in 3 mos from now. I think sometime next year we will all be rejoicing.

When they write the history of our times it will begin:

“Paragraphs were the first thing to go ...”

Agreed...I had to wrap my mind around that one.

The abuse of proper authority should receive the most deadly of responses. It’s the only way to disabuse them of the notion that they can get away with it...

We are at the end of the good times.


Almost.

We still have roofs over our heads and can feed our kids, albeit at a much higher cost.

When we can no longer do that, the tree will be watered.

American Thinker, making up endless lists of problems and never offering a single solution to anything. AKA clickbait.

Thanks for the link, GOPJ. This is an excellent analysis piece that draws heavily on the wisdom and insights of Aldous Huxley.

While Huxley cannot be considered a “Founding Father” of our Republic, he deserves special recognition as a Post-Founding Father.

Good catch

(And be deceived by the False Prophet and the False Messiah.)

I should clarify - canned post

The unbelievers will be deceived by those two

Praying 🙏🙏🙏 people read the Bible verses and educate others by bringing them to Faith in Jesus Christ so that they WON’T be deceived.

There is a massive family of industries built around the idea that you can and should mine the population’s cognitive and moral strengths for all the money you can make off them. I will leave it at that.

“...unlimited mail-in ballots still exist in basically all the same swing-state places they did in ‘20.”

Wisconsin (a ‘swing’ state) has passed laws to severely limit mail-in ballots and has flat-out OUTLAWED drop-off boxes for ballots.

You show up at the polls to vote. You hear us, Dane, Milwaukee and Brown Counties? End of conversation. We won’t be fooled again!

This certainly won’t hurt.

Well crisis always ends with resolution so hopefully its the resolution we are expecting. Donald Trump does not appear to be the least little bit stressed or worried.
