Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, America stuck in the middle

Everyone on both sides gets all wound up if they are blamed for anything and usually both sides are guilty of something.    25 % of the population is considered mentally ill. 

 Now, I detest the current democrat party and their socio-fascist leaders, but their side doesn't have ALL the crazies.  That's a mathematical reality no one can argue.

The left has the violent criminals and Antifa, the cons like BLM and transgenderism, the career politicians like Biden and Pelosi, who never had a job but got very, very RICH. 

 The Conservative side gets stuck with the Knee-jerkers and White trash separatist's, smug-self-righteous phony republicans like McConnell and Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney.  

The difference is we fight and condemn our bad players, while the democrats put theirs in Cabinet positions and have their corrupt media to protect them no matter what they do.

We all have something to be ashamed of!  And both sides use the others shameful affiliations against each other. But even a rotten White Supremacist can see that the democrat party has NOTHING to offer but destruction of this nation.  That's why it's so sad that typical democrats can't seem to get it when simpletons like that can.

When Nixon proved to be a liability to the country, Republican leaders told him, GO!

Biden?   How bad does it get before Democrat leadership (whoever that is?) acts?

I have yet to see anyone on our side celebrate the disgusting among us.  All I see from the democrats is their defense of the indefensible and condemning us if we don't deny reality with them.  But they only pretend to be inclusive. That lie was exposed when the sanctuary BULL CRAP went to NIMBY at Martha's Vinyard, NY, etc.!

The left's crazies far outnumber the right's nitwits.  We won't put up with it when we find out who they are, and they're usually littered with FBI agents who are egging the useful idiots along to do something stupid.   Studies prove the left is well stocked with the mentally ill.

White liberals more likely to have a mental health condition

White liberals are more prone to mental health disorders than individuals who identify as conservative or moderates, according to a Pew Research Center survey. 

Sixty-two percent of Whites who classify themselves as “very liberal” or “liberal” have been told by a doctor they have a mental health condition, as compared to 26% of conservatives and 20% of moderates, the study found. White liberals more likely to have a mental health condition - Washington Times

The left's assaults against MAGA and conservative Americans FAR outnumber the one incident of Jan. 6 and the only people who died were MAGA citizens who had no part of the breaching of the offices.  

Until Jan. 6, you loud mouthed liars had nothing to show against Trump or Maga!

 ZERO!

Then you made sure Jan. 6 was twisted to use against us, just like Russiagate, Smollett, dozens and dozens of hoaxes perpetrated by HRC/Biden/Media/DNC/FOREIGN operatives!  Today it's blaming us for Paul Pelosi getting attacked by one of YOU! By one of your beloved illegal aliens!!   BAT CRAP CRAZY.  YOU never take responsibility.

We independents are Americans who are too educated to belong to either party, many of us libertarians, will decide this election and the next one. That's if there were no cheating, but there will be. 

Let's call this what it is.  The 2016 election was FIXED!   Those polls had HRC winning by 90%!  The media was fixed. But more than that, Carlos Slim Helu bet AND lost 8 billion dollars in the stock market the morning Trump won.  

Trump was NEVER supposed to win.  More than likely, he actually won in a landslide.

People like Slim don't bet to lose! 

There was NO peaceful transition of power as the FBI was framing him at the behest of his opponent and all the alphabet agencies were spying and undermining the Trump presidency and administration, before and AFTER the election.  The former president, Obama and the present one, Biden are complicit in the conspiracy to overthrow a duly elected President of the United States.  Donald John Trump.

THAT is the real story.

We were stopped from having clean elections.  The people learn slowly, and tyranny always counts on that.  Too many of us independents have been lefties...to a point, but still able to question and they're coming around, according to recent polling. 

  YA shouldn't have messed with our kids behind our backs!  We still have mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers, like me!  You twats who pretend to be a woman are about to find out what real women are made of.

People all want one thing.  They want to trust in something.  I'm glad some good people have their faith.  More often than not, we trust in the wrong thing, yet as a nation we grew and got better but THAT is what has stopped.  You pushed too far and got the inevitable backlash after your goons hurt too many of us and your leaders impeached a good president and citizen.

We stopped getting better!!!  It's an inducement difficult to wake from.  

But wake, we must!!

The conservative media, Trump, MAGA have always condemned those who mistreated our capitol on January 6, 2021.   The media, Biden, all lie when they tell you otherwise.  If they harmed anything they should be in jail.   Holding old people for 'parading' who never entered the building is still BULL MANURE!!  

Holding people without charges over a year is TYRANNY!  They'll come after you when YOU object.  I promise you will!  Sooner or later, YOU WILL object!

Those mental giants like 'Q Shaman' and the fool with his feet on Nancy's desk are just that; NOT very bright, following a crowd.   Those are the Knee Jerkers I mentioned to start with.   They're the ones who scream, ' Vote 'em ALL out", "None of 'em are any good!", "Michelle Obama has a dick!!!"  

Seriously?  These dudes?  An organized 'insurrection'???    Democrats are as delusional as this poor fool.  He's in prison for 4 years.   He hurt NO ONE.  Why aren't the Antifa thugs???  

 I'm so tired of yelling at this kind to not behave like democrats!

They're too lazy to be educated.  They don't think, they 'feel'... like the left does.  They react.  They never think.  As Mark Twain, said in the wonderful "Letters to the Earth", 

"It is because they do not think at all; they only think they think"

 Same useful idiot, different parties. That's all!  The people like the ones above were too dumb to know they were set up!  They were dumb enough to think they had the right to protest just like the left had one for 2 years of riots and burning cities without anyone caring!!  But this DOJ and FBI sure showed them! They are now all over the country, searching for anyone who had any participation on Jan. 6, whether they caused or even knew of any harm.  Most of the people who attended never saw any mayhem.  Many heard the first of it on the news on the way home!!  

Democrats have built quite a coalition and stick together no matter what:

 Lots of foreign Oligarchs like Soros and Carlos Slim.  

Antifa and BLM, Black panthers, the KKK...  they have a long history of thugs... 

These are the people Obama recruited with his 'community organizing credentials' when he said "GET IN THEIR FACE!"

BTW.....Let me know if you can think of any organized, violent enforcers the republicans ever had??  

And of course, the democrats have Every mental condition and dysphoria in a medical diagnostic book.  

The inmates and illegal aliens. 5 MILLION NEW ONES since Biden creeped into the Oval office!

Those Biden can buy with phony student loan forgiveness and forgive all federal marijuana simple possession charges.  

 They don't even know there is NO such thing as a federal 'simple possession' of pot conviction in ANY federal prison.  Those are local charges! Joe lied when he said he was letting all those federal prisoners out for 'simple possession'.  He's after all the pots heads votes.

Many of these pictures and video of the thousands and thousands of illegal alien young men are from USA Today.  This is a small sample of what is heading our way now that Biden has removed all restrictions meant for keeping them out.

UN migration study deems US-Mexico border 'deadliest' land route in the world based on 2021

A new study has labeled the border crossing between the U.S. and Mexico the deadliest migration land route in the world. 

The study, conducted by the Missing Migrants Project and published by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), recorded at least 1,238 deaths during migration in the Americas in 2021, with at least 728 of those deaths occurring on the U.S-Mexico border. 

"The number of deaths on the United States-Mexico border last year is significantly higher than in any year prior, even before COVID-19," Edwin Viales, author of the report, said. "Yet, this number remains an undercount due to the diverse challenges for data collection."

So far in 2022, 13 journalists have been murdered in Mexico in possible relation to their work.

The most recent case is that of Ernesto Méndez, director of the news site Tu Voz, who was shot to death in San Luis de La Paz, in the central state of Guanajuato. According to local journalism advocacy group Article 19, he was shot and killed inside a bar owned by his family.

While the victims’ families, Mexican journalists and journalism organizations continue to seek justice in each of these cases, the Mexican government only considers 11 of them to have been motivated by their work as journalists.

Jim Jordan says 14 FBI whistleblowers have come forward

8/16/2022, 4:44:55 AM · 

Washington Examiner ^ | 8-15-22

(Excerpt) During a conversation about alleged politicization at the Justice Department, along with former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, Jordan made the case that the U.S. public has "figured it out" when it comes to the Left generating a lie, "Big Media" reports the lie, Big Tech amplifies the lie, and then they pile on Republicans when they catch on and say something. He said there are agents in the bureau who have realized the same. "Fourteen FBI agents have come to our office as whistleblowers, and they are good people," Jordan said. 

These pictures are a drop in the bucket and Biden has opened the last gate Trump put up to protect us.

• Biden administration says ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy is over

  Associated Press ^ | August 9, 2022

  The Department of Homeland Security said Monday that it ended a Trump-era policy requiring asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. immigration court, hours after a judge lifted an order in effect since December that it be reinstated. The timing had been in doubt since the Supreme Court ruled on June 30 that the Biden administration could end the “Remain in Mexico” policy. Homeland Security officials had been largely silent, saying they had to wait for the court to certify the ruling and for a Trump-appointed judge, Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo, Texas, to then lift his injunction.

Propaganda by the Biden Administration is LEGAL - Stealth 2013 law signed by Obama!

How did we come to inhabit a society in which the government itself continually carries out psyops against the populace?  

As you read this, keep in mind that Biden has already tried to form his 

'Ministry of Truth'.   

It's common knowledge that governments, including ours use propaganda on foreign soil.  It helps win wars.   This largely came about in 1948 with the Smith-Mundt act which prohibited our government from ever using such biased, misleading, if not downright untruthful messages on the American public.

This is what formed the Voice of America and other venues.

This movement toward propaganda is explained in the article, 

The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act: From Propaganda to Censorship to Tyranny

George Bush and Dick Cheney were the first to practice this deception on all of us, then in 2013 Obama codified the practice with this new Smith-Mundt 'Modernization Act'.  It was Bi- Partisan!!!  One sponsor was democrat Adam Smith and republicans Mac Thornberry of Texas and Dana Rohrabacher of California, Bush sycophants.  

"All of this mayhem got underway in the early twenty-first century with the government “apprising” citizens that Saddam Hussein had WMD (weapons of mass destruction) and was in cahoots with Osama bin Laden. Through such “intelligence community findings,” citizens were deceived by “the experts” into believing that Iraq had something to do with 9/11 and therefore was fair game for attack in 2003"

The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act: From Propaganda to Censorship to Tyranny | The Libertarian Institute

Dick Cheney should be in jail for breaking this LAW about Iraq instead of telling lies about Donald Trump on behalf of his traitor daughter Liz!! THIS is as deep as the swamp gets!

Understand why Bush, Obama, Clinton, Cheney, Biden all get along so well!! They have been messing with us for decades playing 'good cop, bad cop'.  They are all bad 'cops' playing a dangerous dishonest game of screw the American citizen!!

THIS is why Donald Trump must GO!!   He upset their lucrative, powerful propaganda apple cart that they are so willing to push on all of us.

NO one is more victim of their practice than Donald J. Trump!! They are likely still spying on him! They are certainly using lies and propaganda against him and all of us EVERY DAY!

The article continues:

In 2013 President Barack Obama signed into law the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act (H.R. 5736), making it legal for government-produced media—such as was broadcast overseas by Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other outlets throughout the Cold War—to be directed toward U.S. citizens themselves. Needless to say, such government-penned narratives spin the news so as to reflect favorably upon the United States. To understand the sheer power of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, it suffices to do a quick Google of the name of this piece of legislation to see how it has generated a logical quandary befitting of Orwell’s Nineteen Eigthy-Four. For if it is true that the American people are being propagandized by the U.S. government through its control of the major media outlets and tech giants, then any assertion to that effect will be countered—and ultimately defeated—by yet more government propaganda.

The fact that the complete negation of the original Smith-Mundt Act was deceptively labeled the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act marked the first stage in what might be termed the Orwellian turn. Unsurprisingly, a lengthy list of articles calling out the alleged piece of “disinformation” that “Barack Obama legalized government propaganda against citizens” appears at the top of the Google search results. Among the critics who warned about the new Act was now-deceased investigative journalist Michael Hastings, who also, it is worth mentioning, expressed concern about the dangerous influence of the Pentagon’s “public relations” wing, which already by 2009 employed 27,000 persons full-time as war marketeers. A number of other notable figures who sounded alarms about the dangers of government propaganda and overreach are now dead, imprisoned, or living in exile.

The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 (signed into law as a part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013) arguably set the United States on the path toward the erection of a full-fledged Ministry of Truth and the consequent shrinking of citizens’ liberty. Only time will tell whether this piece of legislation alone will suffice, as deployed by the new Disinformation Governance Board, to strip citizens of their First Amendment right to free speech when they attempt to reject the first premises of the DGB itself. If so, then Barack Obama will bear primary responsibility for the totalitarian system to ensue, whatever his intentions may have been.

For with the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act already in place, there are only two short steps to the complete squelching of dissent. First, the government controls the media through injecting many pro-government texts into the marketplace of ideas. This is obviously already being done, and has been unabashedly pursued since the ratification of the Act. (To dispel any doubts that this is happening, it suffices to turn on the mainstream network news.) Second, among the government-promoted ideas will now be the claim that the newly established Disinformation Governance Board does not violate the Constitution of the United States. Once lawmakers have been persuaded to believe this, then the DGB will have the power to eliminate what they themselves have identified as disinformation, including the very claim that the DGB is illegitimate. After that will follow the censorship of the texts of anyone who disagrees with the government and, ultimately, the criminalization of those who “persist” in promulgating ideas deemed “threatening” by the powers that be. The danger of all of this to free people is very real, as the plight of whistleblowers in recent years has already revealed. snip

MUST see!

Eric Boling on NEWSMAX discusses a 2012 NEW law and an executive order that Obama implemented without notice that repealed the 1948 Smith-Mundt law that prohibited propaganda by the government being used on its citizens. THIS is how Biden is getting away with lying about everything.  They spend millions on slick produced propaganda instead of public information!  Everything they present is tainted.  And where are the republicans???   Waiting their turn.

Donald Trump took on both parties. BOTH are corrupt!! Wake up America!!

An Interesting item from a source trying to cover this up:

The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, contained within the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, eased some restrictions so that media produced by the U.S. Agency for Global Media and intended for foreign audiences could be distributed domestically upon request, according to its text. Prior to its passage, the content was banned from being disseminated in America.

People (not the main stream media!!!) tried to warn us when this happened:

The Horrible Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 (SMMA) - Highlander (highlanderjuan.com)

June 14, 2019

The Horrible Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 (SMMA)

I keep forgetting to focus on this un-American act perpetrated on the American people by the US Congress, which is now largely controlled by political Zionists.  Basically, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 (SMMA) allows the US Government to treat the American people as enemies of the state – just as they would treat a foreign enemy.  Does that help explain why we are having so many problems with government these days?  Let me explain from a layman’s legal perspective what I am referring to here.

The SMMA started out as H. R. 5736 on May 10, 2012 for the declared purpose “To amend the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 to authorize the domestic dissemination of information and material about the United States intended primarily for foreign audiences, and for other purposes.”

https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/5736/text

Interestingly enough, section 208 part (b), relating to “Domestic Distribution of Program Material” says:

“Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the Department of State or the Broadcasting Board of Governors from engaging in any medium or form of communication, either directly or indirectly, because a United States domestic audience is or may be thereby exposed to program material or based on a presumption of such exposure.”

The almost un-American ACLU views this as a positive step in supporting the First Amendment ‘freedom of speech.’  Really???  That’s a tough spin on the subject.  I won’t go into details here, but I’ll post a link to their website article dated May 25, 2012.  It may be worthwhile to note, however, that one commenter on the ACLU website has written “Taking the position that I pay for the government to lie me legally is suicide and wrong. This position of support for this by the ACLU is vile.”

https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/new-government-propaganda-bill-positive-step-first-amendment

The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, was eventually buried within the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (section 1078 (a)), passed into public law, effective on January 2, 2013, and the SMMA portion amended the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 and the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987, allowing for materials produced by the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to be available within the United States. [Emphasis mine]  snip

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz released a graphic video appearing to show the narco slave trade at the U.S.-Mexico border late Monday, and claimed that President Joe Biden is to blame for the “worst plague of slavery” since the Civil War.

Cruz described the migrant children and teens working for gangs and forced into sex slavery to pay the thousands of dollars of debt they owe to the cartels. The video appeared to show graphic images of children’s corpses found lying face down at the shores of the river and the desert.

Despite more crossings, the Biden administration has reportedly been prosecuting fewer migrants than former President Donald Trump’s administration. Only 2,896 migrants were transferred to the U.S. Marshals custody in the fiscal year 2021, compared to 13,213 in the fiscal year 2020 and 20,604 in the 2019 fiscal year, according to a memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

“The teenage boys work for the gangs in every city in America. And the teenage girls experience much worse than that,” Cruz said. “With far too many of them human-trafficked into sex slavery. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are responsible for the worst plague of slavery in America since the Civil War. This is not compassionate. This is not humane. This is barbaric.”

Gordon Smith: "He who has the gold, makes the rules"

The immortal words of Doc Holliday from the movie Tombstone:
" Why Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave."
That's the kind of sad, bewildered concern Sen. Gordon Smith (R) Oregon, had on his face when he announced Friday that he thought George Bush's war in Iraq is "absurd" and "may even be criminal."
I suppose we could call it a "delayed revelation".
Smith looked like he was witnessing the ghosts of past Republican parties. Remember them?
Those old republican parties that told Nixon to step down.
The one that regarded our national borders as sacrosanct.
The one that ended slavery.
They sure weren't the Gordon Smith Rino Republican party of today. He might just as well get it over with and jump ship with his Udall cousins to the Democrat Isle.
History will tell us what the judgment of this war will be. And Gordon Smith isn't worried about history, he's worried about Gordon Smith.
Where has he been the last 3 years while this war slipped into the disgrace it's become? Did he do anything to help Bush get himself out of this nightmare?
This is an old article, but some things never change. One of those things is that Gordon Smith wants to be president, he is NOT a conservative and is more than willing to embrace a global instead of national interest.

TOWN HALL MEETING WITH U.S. SENATOR GORDON SMITH, R-OR.
Dec. 06, 1999

Senator Smith arrived on time for the town hall meeting he was gracious enough to bestow on our community. Unfortunately, our community did not respond. Including "the press"(translation: one camera) head count was between 22 and 25. I went there to ask a question, if I could get through the "crowd". NO crowd, No problem.

Senator Smith extended his hand and introduced himself, as I did in kind, and walked to the front of the little gathering. He began with the customized speech of the accomplishments of this congress: Balanced Budget, Welfare Reform, Saved the Social Security Trust Fund, stopped funding for "certain practices" by the UN, but got them their long-deserved funding...he failed to mention the recent Presidential Waiver, which effectively flushed that deal.

A man asked a question about Y2K. Sen. Smith was reassuring about the US Governments readiness. He then told us about the special command center set up with Russian and Chinese Government representatives stationed in the center to monitor everything that happens in America so THEY are sure WE won't attack THEM. I wondered if we had been granted, or even asked for the same surveillance privileges. He was concerned about Russia and China not having proper preparations for Y2K and expected problems, but expects just temporary, isolated glitches in this country.

Senator Smith barely mentioned the WTO, except to impress that we need this organization to protect developing countries. We NEED free trade. We Americans are spread all over the world and must have such a group to oversee American interests.

My turn.

"Senator Smith, explain to us where the line of representation is from us, as individuals or small business owners involved with world trade, and the 3 person WTO tribunal court who makes the binding decisions over us. Living in a representative republic, we are used to knowing who will be making law over us."

Very quiet, so very quiet.

Senator Smith repeated WHY the WTO was a good thing and gave a nice dissertation on free trade. I said this seems about managed trade, not free trade and that I STILL do not understand WHO represents me in the WTO.

The Senator is a diplomat, to be sure, and assured me the HE would always be there to represent my best interests and so is our trade rep, Charlene Barchefsky. I asked if it was true the United States has only one vote, like every other nation in the WTO. He said yes.

But, he reminded us to always remember the golden rule..."He who has the gold, makes the rules" and the wealth and power of the United States Government will assure us the BEST representation. NOW, even I understood!

Concern was raised about the Panama Canal. The Senator said we are bound by a treaty to deliver the canal back to Panama and he felt no great worry over the fact that both ends would be controlled by a company from HONG KONG. I know he heard my jaw hit the floor.

A question was asked about a meeting here next week between citizens and the Clinton Administration representatives ove the 40-million-acre road less forest "preserve" the president has enacted by executive order. Mr. Smith informed him that the meeting is only PR and it is already a done deal.

Again, I got his attention, "Sen. Smith, I want to compliment you on your efforts a few weeks ago during a hearing by your Environment & Resources Senate Committee with officials from this administration, none of whom would answer the senators' questions, such as how many acres they intend to turn into wilderness. It sounds nearer to 67 million acres to me".

He nodded in agreement. He explained that the only challenge the Senate might make is by statute that says only congress can designate wilderness, which is why it's called something else...like "road less", and that would have to be done in the courts down the line IF the administration oversteps its bounds.

I laughed and asked, "How do you people deal with anyone in this administration knowing everything they say, they are lying about?"

He relaxed and chuckled and concurred that this WAS the case that they just try to pass good legislation and do their jobs.
I continued, "Mr. Smith, explain to me why I should trust Charlene Barchefsky, a Clinton appointee, with no congressional oversight, to represent me in the WTO?"

Senator Smith replied, "Well, the talks in Seattle got stalled so they can't make any more plans for a while!"

With that the meeting ended. Maybe gridlock isn't such a bad thing.
