I thought he would lead off with the invasion. That is the destruction of the nation, as with all invasions, and this one will also happen quickly.

It will take an act of God for the country to get through 2024. The ones who were supposed to act refuse to do so.

Half of America chooses hatred of Trump, conservatives, Christians and persons of pallor rather than their own safety and well-being.

A people that glorifies child sacrifice and death will soon go mad and throw itself over a cliff like possessef swine.

Indeed Biden is like a toilet always looking out for number one.

Why should they be? The fuck joe biden regime has been the most successful change agent in America since FDR. Trump's term was meaningless. Americans know there is no opposition by the feckless, cowards called Republicans. They also know “they” will not let Trump have a second term. The next four years will make the last seem normal.

Hunter deliberately involves his family and may even bring down his own father.

It's getting Shakespearean now.

He seems to still have faith in that GOOD LIBERAL. There is no more GOOD LIBRRAL. They are all leftists. They all will kill. They may not know it yet. But they will kill.

Between the Stockholm Syndrome and the Milgram experiment, most people are easily led. It's tragic.

“Fortunately, there are enclaves of responsible people, and so far, we can navigate through the ongoing wreck of society.”

Many of us have learned this reality, mainly due to and because of the Covid B$ including shutdowns and forced vaxes on us.

We now, have a few church friends, relatives, neighbors and former co workers, to form our responsible enclaves on the west coast, and in other areas in America.

Most of my/our internet so called info sources/sites have changed.

We haven’t watched any tv network or so called live news, since they attacked Trump 24/7 about 8+ years ago.

Old man time has eliminated many of our older friends, in their 70-80’s.

Often, they are being replaced by those in their late 50’s to mid/late 60’s. Many of which, we advised them to leave California to raise their families, and we still get thank yous’ for that advise years/decades ago.

We stopped recommending moving to Oregone or Washington shortly after 9/11.

“He seems to still have faith in that GOOD LIBERAL.
There are no more GOOD LIBERALS.”

That reality has been hard on a lot of senior citizens like my wife, many of her friends and me.

My best man at our wedding 62 years ago, and my wife’s maid of honor were lifelong libs as were their parents. They were good people and friends at that time.

The liberals started coming out of their good American closets and becoming full bore PIA’s from 1977 to today.

Yep. In 2016, a bridesmaid from my wedding 48 years before put her foot through a piece of original artwork I had given her in 1966, upon learning I supported Trump.

"Well, bye!"

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

Americans will then collectively conclude that Joe Biden has never been truthful about vast ill-gotten funds that have enriched his family; that Harvard is no longer preeminent or even prestigious; and that people who do not like us, our laws, and our values should try cheering on the work of Hamas from their own homes.FR Index of his articles: Victor Davis Hanson on FR

Town Hall: Victor Davis Hanson on Town Hall

American Greatness: Victor Davis Hanson on American Greatness

His website: Victor Davis Hanson

Please let me know if you want on or off this new VDH ping list.

As a reminder, Professor Hanson has asked that we do not post the full article of his writings. Thank you for following the link to finish his article.

“I love VDH but Vic does not realize that the Democrat voters don’t care about the Biden criminality”.

That’s the truth of the matter. VDH seems to think there are still good liberals who are good people.

Americans now think we are not worthy of defending our identity or someone else will do it when it gets bad enough. Too much devotion on TV and schools to slavery, excessive of capitalism, wars etc and no to very little mention of our greatness.

You are, unfortunately, absolutely correct. We have been conditioned to welcome punishment and suffering. We lack any motivation to defend ourselves, and are living under the group delusion that we can only deserve having good things happen to us if we earn it through our ongoing suffering and are given it to us by those we've 'wronged'. It's very much like a group psychosis.

Harvard can either claim to be the nation’s preeminent academic institution or continue to protect a plagiarist as president—not both.

Harvard can continue to make that claim, but whether they can protect the plagiarist and keep their donors on the plantation is another matter.

Ping.

I was in education for 31.5 years and it is certainly biased against western Civ/US History.
