This is a story about politics and power in the golden land, and it begins with the money. In early May a luxury resort in Laguna Beach, Calif., hosted a five-day semi-annual meeting of the Democracy Alliance, a secret, invitation-only organization of liberal moneybags that since its formation in 2005 has directed some $500 million in contributions to progressive groups. Never has a wolves’ den been so posh.

Long article but well worth reading. It shows what we are up against--crony capitalism at its worst. Moneybags like Katzenberg, Soros, and Zuckerberg pour $100s millions to Rat campaigns and in turn the government cuts them sweetheart deals to make them even more $$

[Irenic]

Yes, for $32,000 you can have the ear of the pResident.

This makes you wonder if all of the liberal media is getting special deals from the Dems. Another question: Could the FCC be giving licenses to their liberal buddies and pushing conservatives aside? It seems that the television media is controlled by liberals, not only the big New York media but the local affiliates as well.

Gaius Cornelius (Publius) Tacitus,

“And now bills were passed, not only for national objects but for individual cases, and laws were most numerous when the commonwealth was most corrupt.”
Ab excessu divi Augusti (Annals), Book III, 27 (117 CE).

written, basically, about the downfall of the Roman Republic and its subsequent tyrannical or dictatorial era

Yes, for $32,000 you can have the ear of the pResident.

It would almost be worth it if I could have it bronzed
and use it for a handle to my toilet brush.

[Irenic]

I think it may be too large for that. You could probably make a toilet bowl out of one.

Buck up — maybe Edgar Cayce was right after all.

Thanks fifedom.

When the rule of law is paid lip service by those on the top, no one is safe or secure in their homes or fortunes.

The comparison between today and the end Roman times is undeniable.

This is how civilizations fall. FRom within..

[faithhopecharity]

yes you are, it seems, right

Rome
Great Britain
USSR
America?

rotting out from within, especially from the top.. but alas not confined to the top... the people allow, or even want, the decay

[Logical me]

As I have stated before the MSM is a communists formed and controlled entity. These ultra liberal rats are only destroying the State of California for power and money. They couldn’t care less about us the little people.
