Debt forgiveness, Supreme court reform: Election year nonsense.

 FAKE PROMISES TO THE GULLIBLE 

OFFERING NONSENSE, RATHER THAN SERIOUS POLICY

With not a single positive to campaign on, the democrat's have resorted to their age old method of offering things they can never deliver. The latest is to make the supreme court an elected or term limited position. Talking about a threat to democracy, a supreme court that is constantly under attack because they have upheld their oath to follow the constitution, the law for the federal government.

The reality is it is not the supreme court that they consider a problem, it is the fact there is a constitution which is a restraint on the federal government. It was instituted to protect the states and the people, the citizens, from the possibility of a corrupt federal government, just like the one that exists right now.

First they resurrected the idea of cancelling student debt, an idea that was struck down by the supreme court because the president does not have that authority. Of course, then they attacked the court because they actually did what they are supposed to do, protect the constitution and the separation of powers. These attacks are undemocratic and a threat to democracy.

Now the latest is a plan to change the court from lifetime appointments, so that politicians do not have power to intimidate the court, to some other system where politicians can change the court when they don't like their rulings.

The constitution provides a process to make changes to the constitution, it is very simple, get 2/3 of the states to approve the changes, and presto it is done. It can be changed at any time. 

If you want abortion without limits, pass a constitutional amendment that is then real law.

If you want to change the court pass an amendment and there it is. The problem is, much of the country will not approve these changes, so then you have the ability through the the tenth amendment that allows the states to control things that are not designated as in the purview of the federal government. That is what we have now, it has worked quite well, when it is implemented.

So now, after 4 years we have a new crop of students who are being lied to and made to believe that if you vote for these compassionate democrats they will cancel their debt. Just more lies and fraud. A sad fraud on the young and naive, all in an effort to hold or expand their political power. 

I assume the abortion cult will also line up believing they will get a federal law to make abortion unlimited and free, just another fraud they will believe, because they want to.

Election reform still needed.

SADLY, THERE WILL STILL BE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UPCOMING ELECTION 

WITHOUT REFORM, INTEGRITY WILL CONTINUE TO BE QUESTIONED

There have been some attempts to reform election methods that will make them more trusted, but sadly it has not gone far enough. As long as we have unlimited mail in ballots, unguarded drop boxes, machines that are connected to the internet, counting done only in large counting centers, there will be questions. We cannot trust our election results to be based on trust of political election officials and elections need to have the ability to be audited.

Here in Pennsylvania we have a Supreme court that has disregarded the constitution numerous time concerning mail in ballots. They should be impeached for not doing their constitutional duty.

Elections are critical to the success of any democratic government. Honest and clearly legitimate elections can only be conducted and accepted by the population if the elections and their results are auditable. Elections must be 100% verifiable. There cannot be a system were the results need to be accepted on faith in the process or the people in charge of the elections. It is clear this is not presently the case with our election system here in Pennsylvania or in many other states. It is time to put into  place a full proof auditable system of elections.

1. General mail in voting is to be eliminated. It allows multiple opportunities for fraud, abuse and is not verifiable. 

2. Absentee voting with cause is allowable. This would accommodate the handicapped, nursing home and hospitalized persons, the military, and persons required to work out of their voting district on the general election day. All first time applications for absentee ballot would need to be affirmed by a physician, nursing home administrator, superior military officer or work supervisor. All absentee ballots would require the identification number of the drivers license or state Identification. This would assure their place of residence.

Applications for absentee ballots would be kept for 24 months from date of the general election. Absentee ballots and applications would have an identification number coinciding with a number on their voter registration. This is necessary to have an auditable system.

Absentee ballots would be required to be received 10 days before the general election. Absentee ballots would be opened by teams of representatives of all political parties involved in the election. These representatives would be vetted and supplied by the political parties. Each team would stamp the ballots as complete and genuine and be initialed by the team, each team would have a team number. The ballots that they approve will be counted by the team and placed in a sealed container with a result of their count. A copy of their count will be placed on the outside of the container and each team member will keep a copy of their totals. On the general election day, all teams will be present to add their totals to general count and verify they are correct. All these ballots will be kept for 24 months from the general election.

3. General election ballots will also have a number placed on them coinciding with the number on the voters registration. This could be a number from the registration or coinciding with the signature record at the voting place. Ballots are to be counted by teams made up of individuals from all political parties involved in election. Ballots are counted at the precinct level and all ballots are sealed in boxes by the teams with a copy of the results inside, outside and kept by members of the team. Results are then communicated to county. All ballots will be kept for 24 months after the general election.

 Election Audit

Before any proclamation or certification of the results of an election an election audit team made up of representatives of all political parties involved in the election shall conduct a random sampling of districts for audit. These teams will be vetted and supplied by the political parties. They will begin their audits with both sides picking 6 districts or precincts in their county for spot auditing. This would be accomplished by picking 50 ballots from each selected district, identifying the voters and contacting them to verify their votes. If the results are 100 %. in all districts, no further action would be needed, if not there would need to be a more complete audit.

Registration

Registration may be performed as now, requiring Identification and also a group of auditors composed of representatives from all political parties to work together to assure addresses and voters are real. Registrations will be purged if voter does not participate in 2 consecutive presidential elections, or any other elections. Voter will be notified that his registration has lapsed with instructions as to how to re-register. 

The goal of this system of voting is to have an opportunity for representatives of both parties to work together and insure that everyone is satisfied that an honest and fair election has taken place. It should insure that the election results are recorded in a timely manner, without any doubts as to the validity of the vote. With precincts limited to 2000 voters, hand counting should be accomplished in several hours. This would eliminate the cost of electronic voting machines which have a high level of distrust by voters. This is a simple, less costly and fully auditable system that all Americans can and deserve to trust.

originally published 11/2/21

After 2022, now 2023, election integrity is still not assured. If not corrected, we will soon see a decline in voting and the real end of democracy.

7/30/24. No real changes to a flawed system. We must assume intentionally. All first timer registrations should also include proof of citizenship.

France should be ashamed.

 USING YOUNG ATHLETES AS A PROP FOR THEIR SOCIAL REVOLUTION

ANOTHER INDICATION OF THE DECLINE OF THE WEST

The olympics in Paris began this weekend with a disgusting display of freaks imitating the painting of the last supper. One must ask, what has this to do with the olympics? It is just using the olympics as an opportunity to disgust and alienate much of the world in their rush to overturning all social norms and replacing them with a sick agenda. France needs to apologize to these poor young athletes who have trained for years for their one time chance to compete in world competition, only to be used by a degenerate minority for their social agenda.

France possibly should have put more effort into having an unpolluted river for the athletes to train, a secure and safe environment for the spectators and an adequate supply of electricity to keep the city lighted.

Sadly, it is testimony to the world of the decline of western Europe and North America into bizarre social order that can only lead to decline and disaster. A freak show that is being viewed similar to a train wreck, by much of the world, with astonishment and disgust.

Zelensky, "Time to end war"

RUSSIA CONTINUES ADVANCE EVERYWHERE

UKRAINE EXHAUSTED

It is being reported that China is attempting to mediate an end to the Ukraine war. There are also signs out of Ukraine that some in the leadership are ready to have negotiations directly with Russia. Whether this will materialize into an negotiated end to this conflict will remain to be seen.

Russia seems to continue with its slow steady war of attrition. It seems its strategy is to make advances were there is opportunity, then build defenses and the Ukrainians seem destined to attempt to counter attack. This strategy keeps the Ukrainians often moving troops from one place to another but still continually losing ground. 

There is a lot of internal pressure on Putin to end this war with an overwhelming attack. So far, Putin has prevailed in the slow war of attrition strategy.

Russia will not be lured into another cease fire that would give the west an opportunity to rearm and reinvigorate Ukraine. I suspect that the conflict will continue until there is a settlement reached.

It is unlikely that Ukraine can replace its loses as resistance to conscription is growing. Last week a distraught wife of a recent conscript set herself on fire in Kiev,  a sad indication of the situation.

Ukraine is pressuring the EU to curtail Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, oil that still travels through Ukraine. Ukraine's electric supply is down by 50% and 50% of its remaining electric comes from Hungary and Slovakia. What a tangled complicated situation. Ukraine will need to prepare for a winter without electric.

This week it is also reported that dozens of UK and French soldiers were killed in an attack near Odessa. I suspect the Russians have sources that are able to identify were these troops are housed.

It is also reported that Chinese troops are in Belarus coordinating in training exercises. This may be a warning to NATO not to escalate this war.

With the political happenings in Washington, it seems Ukraine is not on the front of the agenda and with Joe Biden 's influence waning, it may be an opportunity for some sort of end to this conflict. It would be in the best interest of Ukraine, Russia, Europe and the world.

 

Kamala Harris, Historic test of media power and American gullibility.

 WE ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS THE GREATEST CON JOB IN POLITICAL HISTORY

AT LEAST FOR 26 DAYS

It is running fast and deep as possible, that is the creating the illusion that Kamala Harris is the brightest, deepest thinking and most qualified person to be president of these once great United States. Will the power of the media be able to erase the perception of this person that has been created by herself for the last 3 1/2 years. It may be the most daunting task ever undertaken by the political information machine. It will either end with them being as powerful as they think they are or maybe shred the little credibility that remains. We are all about to be witnesses to this ultimate display of bull shit.

Having heard and witnessed much of her deep thinking, my first conclusion was that she needed to be drug tested, her and the present Secretary of Treasury, Janet Yellen. Their proclamations and statements may be the result of their dependence on AI, for these statements seem they often have the right words, but make little sense. 

I am sure we will soon see many of these famous quotes, here are just some.

On Climate Crisis,"We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues.... and to work together as we continue to work, operating from the new norms, rules and agreements, that we will continue to work together.... we will work on this together".

On covid,  " It is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day"

On Ukraine and foreign policy, " So Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically that's wrong."  Russia must be concerned and Ukraine must be feeling secure.

Here is one from when she was still in California.  "The governour and I, were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance of the passage of time, right, the significance of the passage of time. So, when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires. What we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children"

The there is the latest, one that she repeats at most engagements, "I can imagine what will be, unburdened by what was"  I suspect that is her vision of the future of America.

One can only be reminded of the great Peter Sellers movie, " Being There" and Kamala being the female copy of Chauncey Gardner. 

If I remember correctly in the 2020 democrats' primary she could not garner 5% of the democrats approval. She dropped out early. It is clear she was picked to run as vice president because she had those qualities that are thought to be the most important, she is female, a minority and....

It appears to me that Joe Biden was the presidential candidate because he agreed to do what was decided by others. When it became necessary to replace him because the fraud was unsustainable, she also, we can assume, will do what others decide should be done. Americans should ask, not who is Kamala Harris, they should already know, but who is running this country and deciding who the candidates will be.  

Has Biden administration used Secret Service as political weapon?

 DENIED COVERAGE FOR RFK JR. AND INCREASE REQUESTED BY TRUMP

WAS ADEQUATE PROTECTION DENIED INTENTIONALLY? 

Many people were concerned when the Biden administration denied Secret Service protection for RFK Jr.. A potential political opponent that was denied the ability to run as a Democrat in a primary. Also someone who was a natural target of violence due to his being related to the former assassinated president and presidential candidate. Who made these decisions? I hope someone is going to find out.

It has also been revealed that the Trump campaign and the security detail assigned to Trump requested additional personnel and protection and was denied. Were these political decisions designed to restrict the campaign opportunities of Biden's political opponents? Or even worse, subject them to serious risk of violence. 

A full examination of who has had Secret Service protection in this administration and to what extent is in order. Was Biden's whole relation offered extensive protection while his opponents were subject to risk by these decisions.

I did attend the recent Trump rally in Schnecksville. Pa.. I suspect that there was not adequate security at that rally. First, we waited for 3 hours to gain access to the facility, I suppose because there was not enough personnel for that event. At the end of the line, just before Trump's arrival, they opened up the event without any screening, I suspect because they could not handle all the people.

Due to the nature of some of these events, it is very difficult to provide adequate security. Indoor facilities with limited access points are the safest possible forums. but most such events require long term planning.

The security lapses in Butler county were glaring and suspicious, the fact that someone could gain access to the roof of that building is outrageous.  While they claim the local police were given responsibility, I suspect they should have been instructed to be on that roof by the Secret Service. Why the Secret Service sniper was denied the ok to fire unless the subject fired was like allowing the perpetrator  to make a shot. How did this person have knowledge of this event and its layout beforehand that he was able to have weapons stored inside the secure area? 

It seemed the Secret Service director made the decisions to not answer any questions, even about things that were already public knowledge is outrageous. Her resignation in no way should end this inquiry or the accountability of all involved in the decision making. 

Democrats Euphoric over Kamala. A sad sign.

 WHAT ABOUT JOE, IS HE STILL PRESIDENT?

CAN THE DEMOCRAT ELECTION MACHINE ELECT A HAM SANDWICH

Yesterday we witnessed a full fledged attempt to make Kamala Harris the great hope for the 2024 election. With 30 days to the convention, will this be a trial that may still be aborted at the convention or are they now stuck with Kamala, come hell or high water. Do they believe they can use their election machine and apparatus to elect anyone they put up? Is Kamala Harris really the best the Democrats have, or is she just going to be another figurehead president like Joe Biden.

Kamala Harris is, without a doubt, the least qualified person to ever run for the presidency of this United States. It now appear to the people of the United States and the world that the presidency is no more than a symbolic position.  

I expect, if she remains the candidate, we will see special programming extolling her competency and vision, her intelligence and of course the first black female president, a truly historic event that is far more important than competency in a very dangerous and complicated world. 

The fact that this candidate is being pushed, is a testimony to decline and coming implosion of the United States.

It will all be about personalities not policy, It will be that Trump is bad, and she is good, Policy is no longer a subject of political campaigns, but who is better liked.

Then the question arises, will we ever see Joe Biden again before the election? Is he done, gone into the shadows and still considered to be president? The reality is that it no longer matters, the presidency is, in fact, a compilation of actors who make policy, that is why it is a chaotic affair that has no real vison and no accountability. A sad situation indeed.

Why doesn't Biden resign and hand the presidency to Harris and give her some time to make her mark. She will have no mark, any semblance of a mark will be manufactured through narrative and perception. 

Bye, Bye Biden. Is Kamala next?

 DEMOCRATS NEED EXCITEMENT AND DRAMA

OPEN NOMINATIONS AT CONVENTION 

Joe Biden finally succumbed to the organized effort for him to quit his bid for a second presidential term. It was not about his incompetence, they all knew about that for some time, it was about his drag on the entire Democrat party and their fear that he would lose badly.

While he has endorsed Kamala Harris and many have voiced support, it is unlikely she will be the nominee. Harris was given a chance to show her abilities when she became Vice-President and has failed miserably. In fact, she has appeared to be partaking of a constant diet of rooms maybe with the Treasury secretary. Her speeches and interviews can only be described as uninspiring at best and down right unintelligible at worst. Kamala would bring the kind of excitement that happens with a serious bout of flatulence in a crowded elevator, except rather 3 minutes it would last for 3 months. No one can hold their nose that long.

There will most likely be an open convention with nominations from the floor. It will provide drama, excitement, Kentucky derby suspense. Just what the democrats need in this moment of anxiety. 

One might very well expect, some not heard names popping up and someone who can quell the dissent of the faithful Black delegates. After all, they also may fear a Kamala nomination will not fare much better than Biden and their political futures may also be dimmed.

One could think of say, Eric Holder, a very popular black attorney, former attorney general and a social justice warrior, much more articulate and I expect much smarter and connected than Kamala. He declined to run in 2020. He would satisfy many of the left and would trigger the right in opposition.

He may need to be matched with a Vice Presidential candidate that will bring along the Military industrial war hawks, a role similar to Biden's match with Barack Obama in 2008.

Obama has not yet endorsed Harris and has made noises about an open convention. A convention that provides the drama of numerous votes and behind the scenes deals and arm twisting that Obama and his crew will be able to provide a candidates in days, rather than a divisive primary.

Holder is a favorite of Obama and has been instrumental in reforming the election process that has made it possible to garner 80 million votes for a candidate that rarely left his basement. We will see if it is Holder or someone similar that will emerge as the next Democrat nominee.

Musk to leave California over Trans law.

 ILLEGAL TO INFORM PARENTS ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN

INSANE POLICIES FROM AN INSANE STATE

The attacks on children and families continue in the trendsetting state of California. Several years ago they lowered the age of consent to 14 for consensual homosexual sex. This year they have made it illegal for schools to inform parents about their children embracing the transexual life style.

It is indeed a very slippery slope that seems to be advancing at an accelerating rate. Parents no longer have the right to be informed when their children are experimenting with ideas that may be very dangerous to their future. Encouraging minors to contemplate changing their sex at any age below maturity is child abuse and should be considered so. Not in California, and sadly I suspect in other places where the woke segment of our society has control of the education of these young vulnerable children.

Parent should be aware of the policies endorsed and supported by this nations teachers unions, which often are at odds with their values. When these teachers unions endorse these policies, there is much pressure put on teachers to submit to their agenda. These teachers unions are often the point of the spear in the present social revolution, Anti-family, Anti-children and Anti traditional values and religion. All paid for with your tax dollars.

In response to the latest law in California, Elon Musk has publicly denounced this law and has started the process of exiting the headquarters of both X and Tesla from California to an effort to protect the children of his employees.

We can expect that the attacks and demonization of Musk will follow.

Combat experience: Who has it, who may want it?

 MOST IMPORTANT COMMODITY IN WAR

ONLY RUSSIA AND UKRAINE HAVE COMBAT HARDENED TROOPS

As we see and hear the drums of war escalating from Europe to the far east, we can only assume that many are preparing for war. Most assume that manufacturing more weapons and stockpiling supplies would be a critical part of war preparation. While that is true, real combat experience is the most important and hard to aquire commodity.

While we have witnessed 30 years of war, much of it has been engaged between 1st world powers and insurgencies, often only armed with small arms and improvised weapons. The present war in Ukraine is a war not witnessed since WW2 in its degree of violence and destruction.  While Russia has retained its air power and Ukraines air power has mostly been eliminated, the other weapons in use are near equal efficiency. Both sides have improvised and adapted to the reality of the new era of drones and tactics. Anyone contemplating entering this conflict will be facing situations that they are most likely not trained for and not properly equipped. This means that there will be a learning experience on the battlefield, one that historically is often very costly.

Much is made at the NATO summit of large numbers of NATO troops on the borders of Ukraine. What has been proven fatal in this war is massing any large numbers of troops, as they are usually obliterated in short order. Armored vehicles are often disabled by cheap readily available and replaceable drones. Airpower against Russia would entail a formidable combination of air defenses that would take a heavy toll on any adversary, no matter how sophisticated or advanced.

An all out war in Ukraine will be unmatched in the violence and destruction in modern history. It will in near certainty end in the use of nuclear weapons.

With China, Iran and North Korea also in the sights of the western alliance, they most likely are preparing as never before. They seem to have the ability to build many weapons but they may have the worst depth of real combat experience. The only way they can acquire that is in real modern warfare. We can expect that we will soon see select numbers of troops from these countries as observers and potential participants in the only place on earth were they can acquire real combat experience, Ukraine.

The real reality is that the world is indeed on the brink of a real WW3. It is not puffery or paranoia, it is as real as it can get. It could be stepped back from, but it does not seem likely. The delusions and short range thinking of western leaders, guided by politics and ideology have set this disaster in motion. Only a few have attempted to halt this onrush, but so far they are just castigated as either cowards or traitors.  We will be lucky to make it to 2025.

Do Democrats have any campaign without demonizing Trump?

 CAN THEY WIN ON THEIR POLICIES?

WHOLE EXISTENCE BASED ON FEAR OF TRUMP

The new Democrat dilemma, besides Joe Biden showing signs of incompetency, is can they engage in a campaign based on their record and their policies? Do they have ANY positive accomplishments, both at home or abroad, in the last 3 years?

They have descended into the negative narrative or demonization of their opposition, whether it is Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin. It has become very old and stale and they have actually embraced many of the characteristics with which they have labeled their opposition.

It is this administration that has become authoritarian, it has used the legal system to persecute and punish their political opponents. It has engaged in fascist cooperation with the media and social media to suppress dissent and opposing views. It has used every tactic to enhance their electoral advantage by all kinds of creative changes to the election system. I can't think of one positive accomplishment in the last 3 years. 

We have witnessed high inflation, particularly in the necessities of life, like food and energy. we have witnessed lie after lie, telling us all is well, everything is good, all reinforced by the complicet media.

We have seen the overriding foundation of our foreign policy and social policy at home encourage the dissemination of perverse sexualality to very young children. The country has become a horror to many other diverse cultures and religions who view this country as corrupt and degenerate. Any concerns of parents or those that advocate traditional roles are demonized as the enemy.

We have seen the intentional and blatant disregard for the social safety net and quality of life of all Americans with a border policy that focuses on shuttling as many migrants into the country as quickly as possible, without regard for their ever being an asset to the country. It is just another blatant attempt to tip the scales of the election system to maintain their political power.

We have seen the intentional disregard of the law, the acceptance of government advocated redistribution, through open public theft. Punishing those who would expect by their own actions to preserve their wellbeing and their property. It is recipe for chaos and disintegration of social order. 

Again, we see the same old tired lies about destroying social security and health care that are in fact being destroyed by their inflationary policies.

Is this a policy that they will openly run on as a campaign issue, no, they will just demonize the opposition by lying about how authoritarian the others may become, when in fact, they have already become that which they accuse others.

Democracy is a simple idea, compare the vison and hope of the future of the choices and vote in a fair, secure election, not able to be corrupted by the corrupt. Very simple, yet so avoided in this corrupt age.

NATO's Ukraine dilemma.

 NATO FINALLY OWNS UKRAINE CONFLICT

 VALIANT EXHAUSTED UKRAINIANS CONSIDER SURRENDER

The proxy war is now at at a turning point, NATO now admits this is their war. Are they ready to take charge and go all out to defeat Russia? NATO, Biden and the war enthusiasts in the U.S. wanted this conflict, believing they could engineer regime change in Russia, fragment the Russian federation and send a message to the world that they are the masters of the universe. 

With Biden now in decline, either through the electoral process or the natural effects of aging, he no longer will be deciding the fate of the world. It seems NATO now owns this project and has labeled it an existential threat to its survival. They have made it so, and that is their dilemma. Either for old thinking of hatred for the Soviet Union or viewing Russia as a traitor to the socialist world revolution, they have come to the deciding end of this journey. 

Are they going to admit they have failed, swallow hard and decide to try co-existence or are the prepared to go to an all out war footing in a conflict with Russia, China and whoever they feel is now their enemy? Was NATO expansion really worth this? Are they ready to explore this reality?

While they continue to bluster and threaten, open a command center in Germany, send all the messages that they will go to all out war to insure NATO expansion, we really see little material evidence that can or have the will to go to all out war.

Have they now lost control of this situation and are they destined to self destruct rather than admit this Ukraine project is a failure that can only lead to more death and destruction, but unlikely a victory?

It seems they may only have several months to make a very serious decision. It is uncertain that this mob of amatuer diplomats can make any decision at all.

Attempt on Trump's life, not surprising.

 IF ALL ELSE FAILS

TWO DAYS BEFORE CONVENTION, JUST ANOTHER COINCIDENCE

The shocking attempt on the life of Donald Trump is now worldwide news, it is no surprise to anyone who has witnessed the last 8 years of presidential politics in these United States. We have seen a continuous coordinated attempt to malign, discredit, imprison, humiliate and  financially destroy this man. It has been an unprecedented campaign endorsed in high places and the media. It has been perpetuated by many people in high places in the U.S. government, from John Brennen head of CIA., James Comey head of FBI all in cahoots in propagating a story of Trump being a Russian agent, one that they knew was untrue, but continued the investigation for over 2 years. In fact, they are again resurrecting this discredited fabrication.

We have witnessed 2 impeachments, again coordinated by the democrats, some republicans and the media and people in high places in the government.

We watched the 2020 election were Joe Biden hardly left his basement and received a record 80 million votes, and was able to edge out Trump in democrat controlled states with big city democratic controlled votes. Any attempt to question this election was immediately dismissed as just more conspiracy theories.

We witnessed the 2022 election were the Republicans were far ahead in all polls, actually exit polls indicated a Republican landslide, but in the end they gained nothing.

And now in 2024, we see Democrat Attorney generals and politically biased judges engage in numourous bull shit legal attempts to have Trump removed from the ballot or become ineligible to run for President. So far, Trump is still running and is a viable candidate in an honest election.

We can speculate that many would have celebrated and rejoiced if this assassin would have been successful. He may even have fantasized that he would be a hero.

On Saturday, I was attending an outdoors event in Northeast Pennsylvania, when I received a call that Trump has been shot, when I relayed that information to others at this event, none who I personally knew, the overwhelming reaction was this, F.....g government. This was sadly the first reaction, as most Trump supporters hear the phrase, whatever it takes, from the bureaucratic deep state and we can only assume, that if all else fails only death will be able to eliminate Donald Trump.

Then there is the actual details that we know so far about this incident. It is reported and verified that attendee's saw the shooter go up on the roof with a weapon and attempted to notify law enforcement. This moving to the roof was well timed with Trump coming to the stage. Within minutes shots were fired and Trump was grazed in the head and in seconds the shooter was taken out by the secret service.

The questions are, how was this person able to take that position on that roof, a perfect elevated position for this attack? Then how was it that people on the ground saw this happening, but the secret service on the roof, did not see a man with a gun on a roof below their position and around 130 yards away? Why did the secret service refrain from firing until after the shooter fired his weapon? Some are reporting the secret service was not given permission to fire unless the perpetrator fired his weapon. If this is true, it is very telling about how this happened.

As for the shot, 130 yards, firing from a prone position is a no brainer for most any experienced shooter. While an AR-15 is not the best choice, it is accurate enough to hit a human at this range. Some claim they witnessed a miracle in Trump not being killed. Many claim that Trump turned his head at the moment of the shot and was saved by that movement. This could be true, there is the question of lock time, it is the milliseconds from the time the sear is disengaged and the firing pin under spring pressure moves forward and strikes the primer which fires the propellent and forces the bullet down the barrel and to the target. When this all happens while the target is moving it can end with a displacement of inches, just enough to save Trump's life.

Some claim to have a picture of the bullet after it passed though Trump's ear. It is not the bullet, but blood that is carried along the path of a bullet as passes through living matter. 

There is no indication, that the attempts to disqualify or eliminate Trump from being president will  not continue, probably more subtly and quietly, but we can only assume that there will be doubling down to accomplish the agenda, "Whatever it takes"

.

NATO, hoping to turn perception into reality.

 CREATING PERCEPTION MAY WORK IN POLITICS, BUT NOT WAR

NOR IN MANUFACTURING ABILITY

The NATO summit in Washington was filled with great expectations. Not only predicting that Ukraine would defeat Russia, but also that the alliance would become a global military alliance.

Much of the talk was about increasing military spending, not only by the European members, but the United States, which already has the bloated defense budget of near $900 billion. The military experts believe this number may need to be increased dramatically in the immediate future to be able to counter the Russians and Chinese, whose budgets are just a fraction of this amount. Any review of the U.S. defense budget needs to start with a serious audit, something that they claim is too complicated and not possible. One has to wonder where has all the money gone?

As for the Europeans, money is going to be harder to come buy, after all, they are not in the position to just make book entries and print more Euros and their economies, thanks to cutting off energy from Russia, are in the doldrums.  They are suffering from high inflation and increasing social unrest, so we will see if the perception of more military spending can overcome those realities.

Many believe that the U.S. has invested in military hardware that is over engineered and overpriced. The present budget and the shortages of production would indicate that is probably true. It has also been reported this week that many of components for these weapons are actually being manufacture in of all places, China. The same place that we contend is selling materials, but not weapons to Russia. The other perception, that all this defense spending in Europe and the U.S. will be bought from U.S. producers and make more jobs for Americans may in reality create more jobs for China.

Fancy and complicated weapons may be very exciting and produce dramatic results in expositions, but when subjected to the weather, the mud and the abuse of combat, they may become just so much junk. Not to mention that not just any soldier can in the heat of battle man these complicated systems. One must ask are these weapons sold to rank and file soldiers or 4 star bureaucrats and politicians?

So, high hopes and great expectations need to be backed up with united and stable governments, a healthy manufacturing base and a good financial policy. As the west continues to bluster and threaten, much of the world is going in a different direction, just hoping to escape the present confines of the west's hubris and domination. The real question is, can the west survive economically without the others, if they succeed in their quest for a bipolar world?

House passes Bill to require citizenship to vote in Federal elections.

DEMOCRATS OPPOSE, BIDEN THREATENS VETO

NEEDED, BUT ELECTION YEAR TACTIC FOR SURE

Yesterday, the House passed the, "Safeguarding American Vote Eligibility Act" or SAVE, it is house bill 8281. The bill passed 221-198, largely on party lines. Five Democrats voted for the bill 3 of which are hispanic. The bill will require states to require proof of citizenship to register to vote. With near 30 million illegal migrants in the country, this population is a possible source of election fraud. I do not doubt that Democrat NGOs are actively registering non-citizens to vote.

This will now go to to the Senate and it will pressure Democrats in close elections to make a hard choice, this may become a serious wedge issue in the upcoming election. It may also be amended in the Senate.

President Biden has already promised to veto this bill. Either way, it is promising to be a win, win strategy for Republicans.

Voter registration rules are lax in many states, many now issue drivers licenses to non-citizens and in effect make them eligible to vote. Such legislation is way overdue and it is clear that it is being introduced now as an election tactic. Such legislation should have been pushed years ago.

We can expect that some Democrat senators may actually vote for this and rely on Bidens veto to stop it. Either way, it will be used as an election issue in a big way.

Undemocratic Democrats may be stuck with Biden.

 LAST REAL PRIMARY WAS IN 2008

WHO ACTUALLY DECIDES WHO IS THE CANDIDATE?

While many have finally realized that Joe Biden is a figurehead president, the reality is there really hasn't been a real Democrat primary since 2008. That was when Barack Obama was able to push Hillary Clinton off of her quest to be president. 

2012 there was no primary and in 2016 is was clear the favorite of the Democrats was Bernie Sanders, but that was irrelevant since even with getting more votes in many primaries Sanders was defeated by a rigged Super-delegate system that was all in for Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton was the endorsed candidate of the bureaucracy and the presumed heir of Barack Obama, actually often publicly stated that it would be Obama's third term. It seemed that between Obama and James Comey, FBI head, it indicated that Hillary was on Obama's leash and would be forced to obey or face indictment on several charges. Hillarys expected victory was cancelled by the populist candidate Donald Trump and all hell broke lose in Washington and around the world. It seemed the new world order was now on hold for four years or until they could force Trump from office.

In 2020, Sanders was again the favorite of the rank and file but it was clear that Joe Biden would be the candidate. After winning the first few primaries by large margins, Biden was able to win in South Carolina and the primary was essentially called in Bidens favor. While Biden seldom left his basement he was able to garner over 80 million votes, an unbelievable number.

In 2024 Robert Kennedy Jr. challenged the incumbent, but the Democrats decided to cancel the primary completely as Biden was going to be the man again, even while the country was struggling in many areas. While there could have been others to take up the challenge we can assume that they would, in effect, be ending their political future.

So here we are, Biden has been exposed as the paper cut out figurehead that he has been since he took the oath of office. We still don't know who is running the country and the country is on the verge of WW3, the end of the dollar dominance and a debt that will likely end in some sort of great reset that could wipe out most of everyone's savings and investments.

No matter, it seems the powers that be, both Democrats and some Republicans believe they can push the fraud again and by hook or by crook, make Biden a two term president. I would not bet a lot of money against them.

Facing reality for Ukraine.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO BACK DOWN AND IT WON'T BE RUSSIA

THIS SITUATION WAS PREDICTABLE SINCE 2008 

In 2008 George Bush the second proclaimed that Ukraine and Georgia would soon become members of NATO, it was the beginning of this present conflict and it will not end as long that is the U.S. policy.

Many predicted that Russia would not tolerate NATO on their border, especially in Ukraine, it was all dismissed by the war hawks in Washington and London. McCain and Graham took trips to Ukraine encouraging them to ally with the west in a military alliance against Russia. Russia views NATO on its border as Washington would view Russian bases in Mexico or Canada or Cuba. To American's, the vast majority, Russia has not right to be concerned about such things, Fuck the Russian's, after all we are the greatest military power in world history, who are they to oppose what we consider as just another step to total world dominance. That is the dilemma that the world now faces. Russia will defend its position until they are physically defeated, even it needs to be the outcome of a nuclear war. Not just Putin, but whoever is the leader of Russia. 

This conflict is not going to be decided by some new weapons delivery or even NATO or U.S. troops to Ukraine. It will be decided when the west realizes that its economic and political stability will not survive this conflict and they change their views on the neutrality option for other countries.

At present we hear the same tired, old attempts of  fear mongering that the Russians want to invade Poland, and control all of Europe, that Ukraine is pivotal in stopping Russian aggression. The reality is Russia wants a security buffer on their border, as it has for centuries, and is in the process of divorcing itself from any interaction with the west. Russia certainly doesn't need to preside over any more European countries, they have nothing they need or want. It can either be accepted or just call up the troops, man the missiles and go for it. Russia is not going to back down from this fight.

Does that make me a Russian apologist, no, it is just the plain reality of the situation and the sooner everyone understands this, then maybe there can be a resolution other than world destruction.

At present anyone talking peace initiatives is condemned as Russian or Putin Puppets. In the view of Washington, only Russian defeat is the option, a very dangerous and unrealistic policy.

Beginning of changes in Europe.

 UK GOVERNMENT OVERTURNED, FRANCE FUTURE UNCERTAIN

JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE CHAOS

The conservative government in the Uk has been decimated in this weeks elections. They have lost overwhelmingly and will be replaced by the Labour party. It was more of a vote against the present government than an endorsement of the labour party. They may very well find that they really do not have a mandate for more social spending and higher taxes.

In France, the best than can be said is that their parliamentary elections have split the government with no majority for anyone, not even close. Any coalition may very well be short lived and the country may be in a frozen state for some time.

At the same time Viktor Orban of Hungary,  the now chairman of the European council for the next six months is wasting no time in pushing for a peace settlement of the Ukraine conflict. He immediately traveled to Ukraine, then Russia and then China. Orban believes the economic future of all of Europe will decline until this dispute is settled. 

Orban has also created a new group within the EU called the "Patriots for Europe" it first comprised of Hungary, Austria and Slovakia, it has now added groups from Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Netherlands and Czech republic. It now has enough Mp's to receive funding and certain ability to have influence in decision making.

European governments will have a difficult time ahead, as their economies decline, inflation persists and many desire to dramatically increase defense spending, something that is impossible without austerity in other places. 

The U.S. elections are also being watched very close for a clue as to direction of the U.S. government.

BRICS putting new members on hold.

 NEW CANDIDATES CAN STILL ENGAGE IN PARTNERSHIP

59 NEW PROSPECTS AND COUNTING

The BRICS group, comprising, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Ethiopia and Iran, have announced that there will be a temporary hold on new members. It seems that while in the complicated process of enacting a global payments transfer system and possibly a BRICS currency, it would be chaotic to incorporate new members.

At present there are 59 countries expressing interest in joining, including Turkey, Malaysia and Thailand. Those countries will have the opportunity to become working  partners in the group. It is expected that incorporating and perfecting the infrastructure will take some time to bring it on line.

BRICS now encompesses half the worlds population and 35% of the world's GDP. With the prospective new members it will be the majority of the worlds population and wealth. So far the one standard is that no members can engage in economic sanctions as a condition of membership.

BRICS is becoming an alternative to the western economic system that has evolved into a system of control by economic means and promises to focus on coexistence and economic prosperity for all members.

Presidential immunity ruling, correct ruling.

 CONGRESS NEEDS TO EXERT ITS POWER

IMMUNITY LIMITS POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS IN FUTURE

Yesterday we saw the political posturing by Joe Biden, someone who may be in need of presidential immunity, by attacking the current supreme court decision. We hear talk of kings and other claims, but the fact is presidents have always been immune from legal actions concerning their decisions while in office. It does not give them immunity from prosecution from acts that are not part of their duties. 

This all has to do with the attempted prosecution of Donald Trump concerning the riots that occured on Jan. 6, 2021. The "so called" insurrection. The "so called" attempt to overthrow the government.

What actually happened on Jan. 6 was the president, and many others, had very solid reasons to believe that the 2020 election was filled with irregularities. Attempts to have these irregularities investigated were denied by the courts, without ever addressing the concerns. So Jan. 6 was the day that the Vice-President was to certify that these votes were all in fact acceptable and verified. The reality is, votes in Arizona, Nevada and Georgia are still under question with substantial proof of irregularities. Now, some claim that the Vice President cannot not certify this election, which is not true. What would be the purpose of certifying the election, if it is not possible to withhold certification. Not certifying the election would not have overturned the election, but may have been used to further address the irregularities that the courts refused to look into. 

The rally and protest on Jan.,6 intended to lobby the congress and the Vice President to withhold certification until the concerns were addressed.  It was, as is the right of the citizens, an attempt to have their concerns heard. 

The president made his speech and told the crowd to peacefully and patriotically to make their concerns heard to the congress, which was in session. We all know what happened next, that some of the protesters overstepped their peaceful protest and pushed their way into the capital and the rest is history.

So the democrats have made this into a political opportunity to claim that it was an attempt of overthrow the government, all orchestrated by Donald Trump, a gross exaggeration for political advantage.

The limits on presidential power are defined by our constitution and that's why we have 3 equal branches of government. Congress has been derelict in its duties to limit the powers of the president. They have abdicated their power to declare war and many other of their duties. Criminal prosecutions after the fact, by the opposition party is not the remedy. The remedy is for the people to demand that congress assume their responsibility for limiting the power of the president in the future. And the court can then decide, based on the constitution, if their restraint is appropriate. 

Biden fraud exposed live on national television.

 WHO HAS BEEN RUNNING THIS COUNTRY?

 WHO HAS ENGINEERED AND PERPETUATED THIS FRAUD?

THEY MAY CHANGE THE CANDIDATE, NOT THE POLICY

Thursday night finally confirmed what many have believed for the last 4 years. Joe Biden is a paper cut-out or figurehead president, he is just a shill for those who are really running this country. Joe Biden wanted to be president so bad, that he sold his soul to insure his legacy for history. As any such fraud should receive its just rewards, it may indeed be a legacy of shame.

The real question is not who will replace Biden for the Democrat party, but who is actually running this country. The leadership of the democrat party knows who is running the country. The media heads know who is running this country. Many of Republican leadership know who is running this country. It is only fair that the American citizens know who is running this country. Whatever investigation needs to be done this fraud needs to be exposed for all the world to see.

The foreign policy of this country has not changed since 1990. It is a foreign policy of threats, intimidation, régime change and perpetual war. It has now brought the country to the precipice of WW3 and nuclear Armageddon. While we know that Joe Biden was deeply embroiled in Ukrainian corruption, it was all displayed again on national television, when he threatened to withhold money unless Ukraine fired their prosecutor, he is not the architect of this foreign policy. 

At home, we have seen the intentional avalanche of a migrant invasion unprecedented in this country's history, we can only speculate that is to replace the present population with those more inclined to vote for those who will promise benefits for life, not based on race but on dependence. All for the hope of retaining perpetual political power.

We have witnessed the perversion of the legal system to silence and punish the political opposition. A descent into fascism and third world standards, again, all for the hope of insuring permanent political power.

It appears that there is indeed a behind the scenes unholy alliance of Neo-conservatives who desire world domination and Marxist revolutionaries who desire to destroy what is America and replace it with some neo-feudal system. I doubt that many Americans really want to vote for either reality.

It is clear that the media has been a willing accomplice of this fraud. It is also clear that many highly placed elected officials of both parties know who is really running this country. We can only assume that a combination of sticks and carrots keep them all silent, the age old practice of fear and greed. 

So now we will see the new narrative, how they are concerned for poor old Joe. Maybe even push forth a new cut out or figurehead. You can bet that there will not be any change in policy. They are so close to realizing their goals that they will take the country down before they will relent. We can expect they will double down and keep propping up old Joe or find another willing shill.
