Got to hand it to them they're on a roll.
So far this year they have passed:
- Budget busting Omnibus
- 100 billion of foreign aid despite half the U.S. vehemently against it.
- Warrantless wiretapping renewed for another 2 years despite being caught using it against a sitting president.
- TikTok Ban, an App enjoyed by 140+ million American users and likely unconstitutional.
They have managed to get this through a divided House and Senate to their puppets desk.
Remarkable isn't it !
And yet the news claims "bipartisanship" in Washington DC is rare. Well, the secret is it really isn't.
In fact, it's all too common and usually in one direction (towards big government and spending).
Also on the news: Blinken (their vapid Secretary of State) to visit China. Got to laugh at the hypocrisy when they've just banned Tik Tok.
It's quite brazen ...
You got to hand it to them
đź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź ... /s
PS, Deep State: When are you going to release Assange? Maybe they'll throw us a bone in time for the election.
Thanks for taking the time to post that explanation.
The merits of the ban have hardly drawn insight into exactly what is taking place.
that’s a very insightful reply.
I used to be in the TikTok bad camp until the controversy came up. I tried it last summer and haven’t looked back. A session on Facebook or X leaves you anxious and annoyed. I am sure you know the feeling. A session of TikTok leaves you in a good mood, and often leaves you with something you think about the rest of the day.
The only problem with TikTok is that you don’t want to put it down. If you click not interested on something, you don’t see that kind of thing again.
If you like something, it gives you more from that area. And best of all, the main feature is not comments or engagement. Unless you specifically open for them you don’t even see them.
Pretty soon, you will get an informative and very entertaining feed of GOOD music, health and exercise tips, deep motivation and thought provoking life advice, Christian topics and sermon clips, great cooking, travel, home maintenance tips, animal videos, dogs, road trips, etc. And there is a VERY healthy serving of conservative politics. Clips of Reagan, modern commentators, you name it.
Try it, and inside of a day you’ll realize how dishonest our government is and that they have lied to us once again.
YouTube censors the hell out of conservative content. TikTok is the home of massive amounts of things that would be deleted from YouTube.
I used to think the same as you. If you ever try it, you’ll see what I mean. They still ban Alex Jones, but that’s all I can see that they do that is negative.
It just jumps out at me. The same intel community that framed Trump, the same FBI that has gone full Democrat Secret Police, the same Government that engaged in massive pre-election censorship, the same government that threw the border open and let 12 million illegals walk in and fly in. The same government that flies them all over the country. The same government that locked down the entire nation on the covid fraud, the same government that is attacking farming, flooded us with fentanyl, and having perverts shake their asses and groins in our children’s faces. The government that is still covering up Epstein island and encouraging kids to have sex changes. A government that spies on us more than any government in all of human history...
THAT Government and intel community is suddenly desperate to protect us? Not buying...
I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it all in detail.
My experience with China and tech, is that they rig, cheat, basically throw the national kitchen sink at stupid incidental things. I fully expected the worst with Tik Tok.
It’s nice to gain perspective and it’s appreciated.
It just jumps out at me.
The same intel community that framed Trump,
the same FBI that has gone full Democrat Secret Police,

>The difference is, we’re just more aware of it than in the past.
Good point but there is something brazen about recent moves.
“Communism Will Win” /Spencer Rapone
The left is certainly winning on every front/issue.
The alleged “inevitability of socialism” is:
The socialists fight each other, because “it” is about the revolution - the continual exhaustion of plans from the central committees (big and small).
Their ego’s.
(TikTok Ban)
Is TikTok not a security threat?
This is the one that doesn’t bother me
And many telling us that America’s borders are not a priority, but..... something else is.....
It’s well overblown in terms of a threat. DR seems to be the most knowledgeable on it I’ve not really used it
I just know they ban any sort of religion stuff
I tried to get a bit in a couple of years ago - heh
It lasted maybe 5 minutes - I was going through a guy I know who posted all sorts of fake videos - he was staging stuff inside his business - none of it was real, BTW (big surprise)
That was where I first learned about it (TikTok) - he had a fairly-large following - So we did a quick video because I knew he was reaching into several countries; with users that probably hadn’t heard the Gospel before.
FAIL - oh well - lol
There is indeed.
The arrogance displayed in that they aren’t even trying to hide it, but rather flaunt it, is staggering. They are not as invincible as they think as someday they will stand before God and have to give account.
And they won’t be able to walk all over Him.
...Or the fact that they created a bio-weapon that was released on the world.
Debt doesn’t matter. It is a measurement of a substance (money) created from nothingness.
When money loses its meaning, not value, meaning — because of $36T debt, then the systemic risks magnify.
And thus, the only issue is Drain the Swamp. Eliminate the source of faked governance. Eliminate the concept of political career.
And discover the difficulty of getting calories.
And not just our Deep State...
None of this is a coincidence.
When the opposition... ie OBiden... praises the GOP speaker of the House... you know the Uniparty is in full swing. One billion of taxpayer dollars is going to Gaza - Hamas. We haven’t had a “Representative Republic” for some time now. When will pro-American patriots wake the hell up and smell the reality?
The debt doesn’t matter, it’s the service on the debt that matters.
IOW if it cost 1 joule/yr to service $500trillion in debt-the $500trillion number is completely immaterial.
