The leftists think the USA and EU are rich and that there’s plenty of money to hand to every needy person.

That $1.2 million California house might be made out of 3000 square feet of plywood ($4,000) and other building material that might altogether cost $60,000.

That multi-trillion chip company might in five years be worth only $20 billion.

Middle class America doesn’t even have the tens of trillions of dollars to buy the stocks off the rich the leftists are hoping to fund their handouts.

The EU and China have trillions, but they prefer to create their own companies rather than buy stock off Bezos and Musk.

“hundreds of various types of weapons, including automatic guns, semi-automatic weapons, grenades, and also explosives, get smuggled into the country daily, from various countries, mostly from Eastern Europe, due to high demand by many gangs and criminal networks in Sweden.”

Up until the Obama administration the US was humming along, even in terms of race relations and meritocracy. Then Brakeh Hussein began to “fundamentally change” America from within and in terms of Foreign policy.

The end result of these destructive policies have caused chaos everywhere and effecting every American (and foreign) citizen.

Trump’s first term was a stop gap measure to halt the slide to oblivion.

What we have witnessed under Biden is the intentional destruction of the USA via the WOKE/GAY/SICK/HAMAS/PLO/JIHAD/COMMUNIST agenda and most Americans have had ENOUGH!

As usual, VDH clearly states the common sense analysis of the actions by the Biden regime.

“Why would the United States suspend military aid to Israel as it tries to destroy the Hamas architects of the October 7 massacres? Why would it lift sanctions on a terrorist Iran? Why would it suppress Israel’s response to Iran’s missile attack on the Jewish homeland? Why would it prevent Israel from stockpiling key munitions as it prepares to deal with the existential threats posed by Hezbollah?”

Ask the President who attended a madrasa, or one of his former helpers still working at the White House.

The Democrats pay most of your rent, give you and your kids medical care and pay for you and your kids to eat. All they ask is that you fill in a few little circles on a ballot form once every four years. The time to do that is now. I’ll wait.

Quotes from Greenfield:

In Luxor, Egypt, the terrorists danced, sang and killed and mutilated the foreign tourists. They “took all the young women, the girls, and disappeared with them. I don’t know where they went with the women, but they hurt them. We could hear screams of pain.” Among the dead was Shaunnah Turner, a 5-year-old British girl.

When a Muslim terrorist set off a bomb in Manchester at a concert full of children and teens, there was shock and outrage. Nails were pulled out of children’s faces.

When Muslims gang raped and sawed in half a Hindu schoolteacher in Kashmir, it was about India’s treatment of Muslims. And when they rampaged through the Bataclan theater in Paris, killing everyone within reach, they were protesting France’s treatment of ISIS. And when they rape a woman at a concert in Israel by the bodies of her murdered friends, they’re protesting for Gaza.

in 1929, Muslim mobs in the Jewish city of Safed burst into an orphanage and “smashed the children’s heads and cut off their hands.” During the Hebron Massacre that same year, a British policeman described how, “on hearing screams in a room I went up a sort of tunnel passage and saw an Arab in the act of cutting off a child’s head with a sword. He had already hit him and was having another cut, but on seeing me he tried to aim the stroke at me, but missed

When a Muslim chronicle boasted that during the genocide against the Sikhs in the 18th century, “the shrieks of the women captives who were being raped, deafened the ears of the people”, was this a response to globalism or Zionism? Or was this just Islam.

A Yazidi girl abducted by the Islamic State when she was only 12 described how the Jihadist who raped her explained to her that because she “practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her — it condoned and encouraged it”. He “bound her hands and gagged her. Then he knelt beside the bed and prostrated himself in prayer before getting on top of her. When it was over, he knelt to pray again”. The girl begged him to stop, but he “said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to Allah.”

In Nigeria, Boko Haram has set off bombs in churches on Christmas. In 2015, a Muslim couple opened fire at a workplace Christmas party in San Bernardino, California, while a year later a Muslim terrorist drove through a Christmas market in Berlin and a 12-year-old Muslim boy tried to detonate a nail bomb at another Christmas market in Germany.

In Algeria, they beheaded Trappist monks while in Thailand, they beheaded Buddhist monks. In Boston, they blew the legs off marathon runners while in France they drove a truck through a crowd on Bastille Day until the wheel well filled up with body parts.

We must reject terms like “senseless violence” because there is nothing senseless about it. Our enemies know who they are and what they want. We refuse to understand who they are.

Sure does look like a snake doesn’t it. Even the outside of the building is shaped like it.

I had seen it a few times, but I can’t remember where. Looks like a serpent, doesn’t it?

I agree. People refuse to see who these creatures are and they refuse to understand what their religion commands them to do.

No, Slo Joe gave the order to do it, and bragged about it.

The reason is NATO and EU wanted to weaken Russia and then take the oil/gas in Ukraine and in all of Russia.

US has no business in this pile of dung.

I see that critical thinking is not one your strong suits.

Putin/Russia made money from selling Germany some of their natural gas resources.

So, identify what money are you following? Also include how Putin/Russia benefitted by blowing up their own infrastructure.

Very difficult to read an article on the internet now when about 75% of it is saturated wit advertising. I remember when universities developed the internet concept as a way to exchange scientific information. Now it’s become a scammers and advertisers paradise.

Pure distilled Bullshit.

Joe Biden boasted with his own mouth about how he was gonna blow up Nordstream, even before the fact.
