Throughout history, every single successful and free nation or empire has eventually been destroyed by the lust for power and money which led to corruption by those that governed. And those corrupt leaders always disarmed the people prior to their final grab for total power.

America was founded to be governed by honest and moral men. We no longer have such leaders.

Ditto all the Western former democracies.

England had its last invasion in 1066, just to be destroyed by its elected representatives.

The Republic’s “elite” stole an election, and then
genocided the people by bioweapons and tainting of
medicine and food -— although they, their families,
and Biopharma’s families were given exception to the poisons.

They likely never read about Paris, 1793.

That’s a fact.

Like Joseph Kennedy and George H.W. Bush’s forebears for example. And Henry Cabot Lodge, Nelson Rockefeller and Mitt Romney to start a list. How many offspring of governors and people in Congress or presidents’ cabinets have gone on to political and social power? Many. It goes on and on.

Sure, but the voters aren’t that great either.

How will this news affect the Democrats’ fight against Trump?

The Republicans' fight against Trump is a much bigger problem.

Peggy Noonan in the weekend WSJ tried to get RussiaRussiaRussia going again.

I just watched a video about how Germany is in big trouble.

They don’t have enough workers.

The maker of the video had several solutions.

He neglected one big solution.

The Germans should have had more babies.

I then realized that nobody has mentioned this as a solution to other countries that have the same problem like Japan and Korea and Russia and The United States.

When I venture out to inspect the radioactive ruins of what used to be a bustling big city, I shake my head, drowned in pathos at the thought of what might have been. Anyhow, it’s tragic to watch the gradual descent of Paul Craig Roberts, a Reagan administration alumnus who used to write a Business Week column that I enjoyed, into literal insanity.

Unfortunately, when the entire government is run by a corrupt leadership which is trying to overthrow the country and establish a dictatorship, there is only one possible solution. That is a revolt by the people. Even that may not work of course, but there is no other solution.

This is why the Democrats want to disarm the citizens and this is why Joe mocked us by saying "those who say they need assault weapons to fight the government: 'You need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons'"

I recently heard that ¡Yeb! is on the DeSantis train. No surprise there.

The elites couldn’t stop the third world citizens from having babies, so they are bringing them to us.

He can supply the wild, cheering, chanting, excited crowds so DeSantis can have a reasoned statesman image. Like the employees on tv shows, especially games and late night, who get the crow going and cheering before the countdown to the start of the show.😁

Somebody should have asked Peggy if she read the Durham report.

“The Republicans’ fight against Trump is a much bigger problem.

Didn’t she though? As I read her piece, I wondered if she had actually read the Durham report at all. She brought up the Russian hotel Presidential suite that Trump was supposed to have occupied with hookers. She never mentioned in her article that Durham had found that Trump never actually ever stayed in that suite.

She also took issue with Trump being nice to Putin without saying a word about Biden’s praise of Xi (Biden stating that Xi was strong and smart). Trump operates on the premise that you catch more flies with honey rather than vinegar, and you keep your enemies close and off-guard. Biden just bows down to our nation’s enemies and gives them what they want or demand.
