It is going to take a new emergency and lockdown to take people’s attention off the Brandonomics financial mess. I predict a climate emergency lockdown.

I predict widespread ignoring of the “lock down”.

Maybe they’ll combine the two and give us War of the Worlds.

Ahh, but the mysterious X covid that is about to make its debut just before the election will keep everyone indoors and focused on their navels, with the vocal help of the celebs of the day on that day. And it isn’t just the images of Joe and Jill holding hands.. we will have the sad remembrance of the loss of their beloved Beau, killed in combat saving his platoon, or whatever. The hardest dem heart will melt to warm goo after that one!
And about those 2020 balloting irregularities.. well.. Oh, look! There is an anniversary edition of something Nixon did and a photograph of JFK and Camelot! Sigh!

How would a “climate emergency” be implemented globally? At least the international overreaction by most givernments using threats and fear to control people in the pandemic ... people saw or knew of people getting the CCP virus with recovery, death. Being told there is a climate emergency outside won’t be believable most days of the year by most people - including those pushing this fraud as they boot up the laptop going to their givernment or university “job”.

It would be a few countries going alone on “climate emergency” ... then what, wage war on countries that don’t believe in a “climate emergency”.

The article’s first sentence is correct: “That silence you hear these dog days of a wilting empire is the calm before the storm and everybody knows it.” A fake “climate emergency” even if tried won’t stop what is in motion ... and it does not look good.

I believe you are right. UFOs are only to distract the sheep and serfs from what is really happening. They don’t actually need to do that though. Because most of the sheep’s minds are fried by medical marijuana and the remainder are trying to decide which of the 57 genders they are. Our future as a Nation with the members of MENSA we have leading us is bright. We are heading down the road to starvation and living in the Dark Ages with our throttles wide open. What could go wrong as long as we continue Biden’s Policies. Send more tax payer dollars to Ukraine. The Biden Crime Family needs the money. To Hell with securing the Southern Border. Given enough time that problem will solve itself.

They’ll have to come up with something really terrible to happen to America to distract us. It’s rule by fear.

It is.
The guy in Atlanta who stole the television and then fought with the Cop is a Prime example of the idiots. When asked why he fought with the Cop, his response was, “I did not want to go to jail.” It never occurred to him not to steal the Television if he didn’t want to go to jail. Idiots such as him are the mean average of what is out there today. Some are a little brighter, most are dumber, if possible.

Those fools are merely the vessels through whom the devil works. Eph 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Americans (and all who are sneaking into America) are making a choice as to who they will serve. Christ's enemies think they're merely choosing to serve themselves (aka "humanism"). They are not.

In a perverse way, Q was right, people had to experience the pits of hell before they would turn away from the Left Agenda. What is astounding to a lot of us is how many yet believe the Left's agenda is hunky dory. Does this mean there is much more of this sh-t show to follow? A Leftist petri dish experiment playing out in the hell-hole cities of the country is a good example to watch. Rather than voting insanity back into these city governments, the Left doubles down until the entire place is trashed. Then, those that can, pack up and escape to get away from the squalid living conditions. The concern I have is that as long as liberals are out there and have somewhere to run to they will not change their mindset but bring their warped ideas with them. That means we will all be brought down eventually. The good news is that the DeSantis governing model has proven that enclaves of sanity can be created in the midst of the Leftest chaos. Whether they will act on their statements of disgust, the Left is now claiming they will be moving out of Florida. Good riddance I say!
