His staff started yelling and causing commotion. Crazy!
How nice of you!
What’s outrageous is that @KamalaHarris is not troubled by the influx of thousands of illegals at our borders endangering our communities.

I am following it because I reached a totally different conclusion after watching the 1-hour Moab police stop. I thought she was dipsy, and crazy, and even the aggressor. I thought that he was putting up with her, but he also was shifty and unreliable. I couldn’t come to a firm conclusion, but overall she was kooks!
His behavior did not make sense after. He took her van to his home in Florida. He left her in the wilderness. That behavior didn’t make sense to the conclusion I had reached. So, I’ve been watching to make more sense of the situation. I needed more information and the only way to get it was to follow the case.
I have been, sadly, shown to have reached the wrong conclusions. This totally shakes my confidence in my understanding of human nature and ability to evaluate correctly. I am very sorry for the Petitos and I wish there would be a conclusion soon.
I saw some of her, and no man in his right mind would go on a long road trip with her. He should have put her on a bus home.
Trump scoop!
my daughter works at a high end restaurant in Sheboygan. Big golf thing, people coming from all over. Said they have big parties booked all week, bought $1000 bottle wine and hired a wine pourer. Anyway she just texted and said Trump is staying at a hotel there for the event. I told her if he comes to her restaurant tell him your mom is a big fan and we need him back!
Yes. That’s what I thought. Except it was her van. So, he should have gotten on the bus.
👍🏻
Either way, better to get away from a situation like that before exploding and doing something worse, which looks like what happened.
He took a weekend break to avoid it all
So sick of this!
Why wont they impeach this jerk instead of making more than speeches! I get they don't have the votes but hey they didn't with Trump and they still did it TWICE! Just disgusted with it all.
How cool is that?!
If he does come hope she gets some pics and sends them to you so you can post them so we can share in the moment.
Keep us posted.
Yep it helps a little taking a break and listening to your body!
So cool!
Nice!
Please ask her to get pics, if she can....and, yes, tell him we love him SO much that we have an entire FR thread devoted and dedicated to him...for those, here, who LOVE RPOTUS Trump!!
(Trolls be darned! 😂)
She’s kinda shy so she probably wouldn’t ask for pictures, but maybe! If there’s a picture or story, I’ll post it! Don’t know if he’ll even go to her restaurant.
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WBAY) - The Ryder Cup tees off next week at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan County. But, before the international crowds move in, the public is invited to grounds.
The finishing touches are being put on the grounds at Whistling Straits. The Sheboygan County golf course is preparing for the world stage as it hosts the 2020 Ryder Cup next week, following a year delay because of the pandemic.
“It’s pretty special. To understand the scope of what it means to have it here, the last Ryder Cup was in Rome, the next one in the United States is going to be in New York. It’s hosted in Paris. It was in Chicago, Minneapolis, so very large cities is typically where the Ryder Cup is hosted and it’s coming to a small little part of Wisconsin,” says Mike O’Reilly, Director of Golf Operations.

Angelo Codevilla, R.I.P.

Angelo Codevilla, the historian of spycraft and powerful analyst of American political and social trends, has died. It is difficult for many commentators to see beyond the current news cycle. But Codevilla, because he could see America as it is presently, could also see into the future. Here in National Review in 2009, he predicted a populist-type figure, one that could unite the “Country Party,” could eventually come to lead the Republicans.
“Far be it from me to suggest that Sarah Palin should be or is likely to be our next president. She has not shown the excellence of cognition or of judgment that would recommend her ahead of other possible candidates, nor does her path to the presidency look easy.
But as the nation celebrates the anniversary of the revolution of 1776, every presidential hopeful should realize that in the next election Sarah Palin — or someone like her — could be the vehicle for another revolution. The distinctions between Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, are being overshadowed by that between what we might call the “Court party” — made up of the well-connected, the people who feel represented by mainstream politicians who argue over how many trillions should be spent on reforming American society, who see themselves as potters of the great American clay — and the “Country party” — the many more who are tired of being treated as clay.”
While others were just barely grasping the effect of partisan polarization, Codevilla understood the actual social fault lines that would make for the political earthquake of Donald Trump, and which is ongoing. In a long life, Codevilla was a Naval officer, a foreign-service officer, a professor of international relations at Boston University, and finally a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute.
Very recently, I liked his review of Julian Jackson’s mammoth biography of Charles de Gaulle. When he reviews American foreign policy in the 20th century — the most well-trod stuff in our line of work — Codevilla is full of surprising insights and original observations. He caught my attention nearly 20 years ago when he saw, almost before anyone else, that the Bush administration was not fighting its war on terror with a clear idea of victory in mind. In these last years, and in the last months of his life, Codevilla followed his premises and analysis to a point that will strike many readers as extreme. He came to view America as captive of an oligarchic ruling class — a regime that intended to harm much of the country –that in fact justified its rule because it believed harming the American people was a self-evidently virtuous project. He was coming to a conclusion that America was already in something like a civil war. I think whether Codevilla was right about this is going to preoccupy and haunt the American Right for a few years to come.
Unfortunately, I never knew Codevilla beyond his writing. But this interview he did with Tablet magazine will give any reader a sense that they’ve caught something of his personality. I hope others who knew him personally will share their memories of him in this space.

His last article for American Greatness......
Epitaph for the ‘War on Terror’
By Angelo Codevilla
September 16, 2021
Twenty years after the U.S. government declared war on terrorism, it consummated its own defeat in Kabul and Washington, in a manner foreseeable, foreseen, and foreshadowed in 9/11’s immediate aftermath. Fixation on itself and unseriousness about war are the twin habits of heart and mind that disposed the ruling class to defeat. The practical explanation for why and how it accepted defeat is found in the overriding interest each part of the ruling class has in doing what it wants to do.
On the night of September 11, 2001, Muslim governments strictly forbade public celebrations of the carnage. The Palestinian Authority, anticipating that outraged Americans would destroy them to avenge the day’s events, even called the attacks al nachba—“the disaster.” But as the U.S. ruling class made clear that it was accepting defeat, the Muslim world’s media and streets celebrated.
Two decades later, after that defeat’s logic had worked its way through and transformed American life, and as the government’s self-humiliating exit from Afghanistan consummated it, much of mankind followed Muslim crowds in celebrating—including prominent Americans.
At the “War On Terror’s” end as at its beginning, the same authoritative Americans—including Republican President George W. Bush as well as leading Democrats—blamed fellow Americans at least as much as foreign powers for it.
Bush’s first post 9/11 act (other than to sequester information about Saudi Arabia and Iraq’s role in terrorism) was to declare Islam the “religion of peace” and to declare illegitimate any American who thought otherwise. Fast forward to September 11, 2021 and Bush said that these Americans, many of whom had gone to war for him, losing life or limb, are “children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them.”
Similarly, in Joe Biden’s view the American people had shown “Fear and resentment of . . . true and faithful followers of a peaceful religion.” He called them “the dark forces of human nature.”
Progressive thought had always looked away from the reality of war as the midwife of nations and the gravedigger of decadences. Kissinger wrote that America should only fight “wars that it could afford to lose”—as if there were such things. Thus it blurred distinctions between war and peace. Intellectually crippled in this way, U.S. military forces therefore have not aimed for victory.
Instead and because of this, military operations have been planned and executed on the basis of what will fulfill our foreign policy establishment’s personal and institutional interests, as well as its evolving ideological criteria. Contact with reality, having produced results very different from those the ruling class envisions, that class explains defeat in terms of its most fundamental animosities—toward its domestic competitors.
Thus as the Afghan Taliban celebrated with the armament the ruling class left behind for them, making them the world’s fourth best armed force, our ruling class turned to its next primary objective.
Treating the American people, especially conservatives, as the main threat results from the growth and clarification of attitudes endemic to Progressivism and already translated into policy and lack thereof by such luminaries as Dean Acheson, William Fulbright, Robert McNamara, Jimmy Carter, Anthony Lake, (Obama’s original mentor on national security,) and even by Henry Kissinger. Many among them identified with William Appleman Williams’s thesis (The Tragedy of American Diplomacy, 1959) that America was on the wrong side of the Cold War. America’s defeat by foreigners does not threaten these progressives’ prerogatives and identities as do their domestic rivals.
Blaming domestic rivals to deflect defeat’s consequences in foreign wars is all too usual. Nevertheless, statements by Joe Biden’s Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley that “domestic extremists,” whom they functionally define as whomever opposes the ruling class, pose the greatest danger of terrorism—especially if they are white—is egregious in history. The official reorientation of the U.S. armed forces’ focus on fighting what is arguably the American people’s majority, is even more so. A grassroots progressive group called the Democratic Coalition leaves no doubt about the ruling class’s 2021 practical agenda: “we cannot rest until all of Trump’s traitorous, insurrectionist foot soldiers face justice.” Insofar as they are serious, and even if they are not, this augurs civil war.
How did this happen?

“Our media is so corrupt, my suspicious mind thinks it’s a great distraction from the real news!”
I think so too. Its a horrible thing to happen, but this kind of crime happens all the time. Although other stories became big in the past, Scot Peterson, Natalie Holloway, etc.
I had planned on going to visit this month but decided to go next month. Now I’m thinking I could have been in The same small town as President Trump. And I would have pulled a Lucille Ball trick to see him if I had to.
I feel bad for anyone that goes through this!
I get alerts and posts weekly of missing teens,etc.
Oh well my lil rant!

Angelo Codevilla's Take on Trump
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | July 27, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: Angelo Codevilla and Trump. As you know, Mr. Codevilla is a renowned academic and has served as special advisor to various Senate committees. He has written a piece that actually became a book on "the ruling class," his term to describe the Washington establishment, but it's not limited to Washington. It really is the political establishment that compromises members of both parties, and instead of calling them the establishment, he called them "the ruling class" or "the political class."
It was so well written, I read the whole thing on this program. It appeared in the American Spectator. He turned it into a book. So I'm reading Power Line today and I saw a post by Stephen Hayward where he says he had gotten hold of Mr. Codevilla and asked him what he thinks of Trump, and Angelo Codevilla sent back something he had written about it and published it, and this is it.
"'In the land of the blind,' so goes the saying, 'the one-eyed man is king.' Donald Trump leapt atop other contenders for the Republican presidential nomination when he acted on the primordial fact in American public life today, from which most of the others hide their eyes, namely: most Americans distrust, fear, are sick and tired of, the elected, appointed, and bureaucratic officials who rule over us, as well as their cronies in the corporate, media, and academic world.
