Time for Europe to Defend Itself - Americans shouldn’t fight for a suicidal continent.

SNIP

Just as globalists in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and across Old (and increasingly Islamic) Europe turned the “Reign of COVID Terror” into an opportunity to bilk taxpayers, enrich elites, and grow the totalitarian national security State, the same globalist scum quickly turned the Ukraine conflict into another “emergency” requiring more taxes, censorship, and public sacrifice. All of a sudden, anything criticizing the official public policies of Western governments was labeled “Russian disinformation.” If you disagreed with whatever the West’s vaunted “experts” said, you were dismissed as “Putin’s puppet.” Pro tip for information warfare enthusiasts: When government authorities identify dissent as “propaganda,” that’s propaganda!

The COVID propaganda project gave us a chorus of World Economic Forum buffoons posing as national leaders all singing, “We must ‘Build Back Better.’” When that schtick got old — or, rather, when ordinary citizens across the West started to show signs of resistance against their imperial rulers — the West’s globalists turned Ukraine’s Chief Munchkin into a “freedom fighter” battling the pernicious authoritarianism of Russia’s Vladimir Putin. The same yahoos — Biden, Trudeau, Macron, Queen Ursula, and the rest of the WEF’s rump-kissing claque — who screeched like wounded cockatoos, “Build Back Better,” now all huffed in unison, “Ukraine! Ukraine! Ukraine!” It never ceases to amaze me that the day after Canada’s “Freedom Convoy” protests against COVID “vaccine” mandates came to an end, the official launch of the new hit television drama, “WAR: Ukraine,” began. It’s almost as if Western globalists yank us commoners along by the leash from one spectacular production of nonsense to the next (just to see how much money they can steal from our pockets when their hands aren’t busy groping small children).

For starters, let the Uk, French, and Spanish backstabbers defend themselves. To H3LL with such perfidious and worthless “Allies.”

We're one or two elections away from Europe: the immigration floodgates would be opened again, energy production slashed, etc., etc. if the Dems win the mid-terms and the Presidential election in 2028.

Our liberty and prosperity are not supposed to be up for grabs under a written Constitution that's supposed to limit what Fedzilla can do.

I admire Trump's stamina and he has already done far more than anyone else on the American political stage could have.

But it's not enough, and we don't have any political leader or party willing to do what is necessary.

Americans shouldn’t fight for a suicidal continent.
..again.
Europe has been trying to commit suicide for centuries. Americans pulled them back from the brink time and again. The cost was terrible. The graves of America's sons scattered across Europe attest to it.

Will America send her sons to die again in order to prevent Europe from committing suicide?

Perhaps if the Europeans realize that she will not, they will come to their senses and decide, once and for all, whether or not they're going to commit suicide and either do it or rise to enlightenment.

In my current town of Tacoma, WA, at my local grocery in two visits I saw:

* Drug dealing from a homeless RV in the parking lot
* Two City Health Department trucks and personnel picking up needles
* Half a dozen stoned out meth and fent-heads occupying a bus shelter
* 3 beggars
* 3 cops at the Manager’s door taking a shoplifter into custody

It is freaking mayhem around here. I’m moving to unincorporated Clackamas County, Oregon, where the local grocery store has one sign on the door that reads:

“The Clackamas County Sheriff’s strictly enforces shoplifting laws”!

No addicts, no beggars, no thieves. There are some homeless, but they keep to themselves and are generally harassed until they move to Portland. Literally. There was a year recently when homelessness in Clackamas was cut by about 6,000 vagrants … and the Portland (Multnomah County) had a 9,000 homeless increase. We just pushed them out.

That rabble will soon be ruling over them - given mass immigration and disparate birth rates, it’s only a matter of time.

Useful idiots like Merkel will be the first to be hanged - as it should be.

Or, as was said about useful idiots that helped the Commies come to power in the new tyrannical Soviet State:

“These middle-class intellectuals were actually ridiculed and held in contempt by the Bolsheviks as fools weaving their own hangman’s rope. Usually, these well-meaning dupes were the first ones shot as the Bolsheviks rolled over Eastern Europe behind the Iron Curtin (1946-1990). Having helped the Reds disarm the civilian population, they were easy to round up and summarily execute.”

Looked it up. Directionally right, order of magnitude wrong on my rusty recollection:

Grok

Yes, your recollection matches the data from the 2022 and 2023 Point-in-Time (PIT) Counts (the annual HUD-required snapshots of homelessness conducted in January each year). This was the period with a substantial drop in Clackamas County’s counted homeless population alongside a substantial rise in Multnomah County’s. No other recent PIT count year shows this pattern in the opposite direction or with comparable magnitude.  

Here are the exact figures from the official tri-county coordinated counts (Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties began aligning their methodologies more closely starting in 2022):

• 2022 PIT Count (night of January 26, 2022):
• Clackamas County: 597 people experiencing homelessness.
• Multnomah County: 5,228 people experiencing homelessness. 

• 2023 PIT Count (night of January 25, 2023):
• Clackamas County: 410 people (a reduction of 187 people, or 31.3% overall; unsheltered portion fell even more sharply by 45.3%, from 327 to 178).
• Multnomah County: 6,297–6,300 people (an increase of roughly 1,069–1,072 people, or ~20%).

I disagree. I admire and appreciate Trump for all he's done yet he did not create the movement. The movement created him. He correctly identified winning issues and realized there was a huge constituency of voters and potential voters who were not being served by either political party and he tapped into that. The movement will last long after he's gone.

The overwhelming majority of the American public rejects Wokeism. They reject the whole Tranny Agenda. They reject Gaia Worship (at least doing anything more than making token gestures toward it that cost them almost nothing). They reject open borders. They reject DEI. They support voter ID. They aren't even close to supporting the Democrat positions on any of these issues. The Democrats are going to really struggle to get elected so long as they push for this crap - and Mandami and Gavin Newsome are doing a bang up job of showing younger voters why Socialism sucks.

I agree in part: Trump is not President simply because he's Trump. There was a strong movement against the uniparty starting with the "tea party," but that movement has lacked large scale organization.

Trump was elected because the Republican primary system allowed him to capture the Republican Party from the top. But even in that organization, there is enormous resistance to Trump's populism, as we can see with Thune's disgusting betrayal of the SAVE Act.

Trump gave all those disgruntled voters a pivot point and the Republican Party as a lever for change.

But the Republican Party is turning out to be a pretty weak lever, with many of its members perfectly happy to keep their seats safe by declaiming their opposition to Democrats while doing nothing against the system from which they also grift when in the majority. They're happier, in fact, getting scraps from the Dem trough rather than cutting the spigot that feeds the trough.

As becomes more and more clear every day, the Dem Party is nothing other than a vast criminal syndicate almost stealing money openly and aiming ever more certainly at the creation of a one-party quasi-fascist state. It needs to be suppressed. The Insurrection Act provided Trump a perfect tool to begin doing so and he has refused to use it. That doesn't bode well for the future.

The EU is essentially a bunch of US endorsed politicans running Europe for the US. Israeli money owns in large part the USG.

It is rich when they find American Leadership so distasteful that they won’t willingly follow anymore; now the US resorts to threats and treating the EU more like an enemy than ally.

Maybe Trump has spoken too much in ways that are barbarian and inhumane.

The hostile takeover of the Republican Party from the RINOs is not complete. There are still plenty of them to purge. The Turtle and Tillis are out this year. Its looking more and more like Cornyn is going to lose to Ken Paxton. The next targets will be Cassidy in Louisiana and Lady Lindsey in South Carolina. I’d love it if we could bag Moore Capito in West Virginia.

Still....I’d guess 4-5 key RINOs in the Senate will be purged this cycle. That’s significant. we’ll need to keep doing hunting down and purging RINOs every election cycle until we have a Republican Party that is truly fit for purpose. We are making progress though.

Can you define anti Semite? Simple criticism of what the leadership in Israel is doing is not. Even opposition to the State of Israel is not. Believing on Jesus is not. A Jew can hold those views. Your kind is hot button triggered. Hate of Jews is probably what you might Don’t your DNC bonafides confused.

I have done my two years in Israel, have you?

Right now if you oppose Israel you are knowingly or unknowingly helping the forces of evil. Either way the result is anti semitic. Satan is in control of those I described PERIOD

I will never side with evil. You continue to make which side you are on.
