The mood struck me to do a spontaneous podcast.
I talk Trump, How the left is trying to intimidate us and a story of a black immigrant woman that is bad news for the left
You can watch it here
Eventually all of this will be on Rumble but till all my youtube videos are moved we’ll still be there.
The degree of shock at the Raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago confuses me. Once you have people willing to destroy the norms on stealing an election what makes you think they’re going to respect any other norms?
You know I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again, Donald Trump must be one of the cleanest businessmen who ever ran a business and one of the most honest pols who ever held office.
With the degree of scrutiny given to him and the enthusiastic desire to find something ANYTHING criminal about him from both the government and the press the fact that over six years they have come up with nothing solidifies this opinion.
The funny thing of course is that people likely would not have had that opinion before he ran.
There is one other aspect of what was done that should be addressed. One of the reasons people were shocked is how “in your face” this actually is.
That’s deliberate, they WANT people to understand that they will come after you and you can’t do anything about it, they want you to know who is in charge, who is the master and who is the slave.
It’s meant to be psychological terrorism.
There are a few people who are shocked at how few leftists are speaking out against this. I’m not shocked for three reasons:
Finally we talked about how clean Trump must be now let’s look at the other side of the coin.
For decades Republicans and Democrats have traded power, each side has been in charge for a while then the other. Other than that long run from the 50’s to the 80’s when the dems owned the house the back and forth was normal and both sides understood that sooner or later the pendulum swings back.
The sheer panic on the left concerning a 2nd Trump term suggest to me something different.
Could it be that the left is even more corrupt than we think? Could it be that the stuff that they’ve been doing, enabling and coordinating is even more horrific than that worst conspiracy theorists have imagined? Could it be that the Epstein’s of the world are the norm for the left and not the exception and that they’ve only caught the one?
That would explain the left’s Trump panic. Not being part of the normal system won’t turn a blind eye to things that have been done in the past and continue to be done, more than that he would be motivated to expose what the left has done for decades simply out of revenge over what’s been done to him without cause.
This is simply a theory, I don’t know if that’s true, but it certainly fits the current facts on the ground.

Like many other seniors, I am bombarded daily by ads, emails, and letters from the American Association of Retired Persons.
AARP is not only a nuisance but also a dangerous, left-leaning organization that concerns itself more with its power than its members.
AARP members should cancel their memberships and, more important, seek other providers for Medicare Advantage and Medigap coverage
About half of those aged 50 years and older in the United States—or 38.5 million people—belong to AARP. That makes the organization one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the country. In comparison, the National Rifle Association has a mere 4.5 million members.
In a cogent analysis, Kimberly Strassel of The Wall Street Journal provided a pertinent example of AARP’s duplicity: its support for the Schumer-Manchin bill, known officially as The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
“The group’s particular focus is the provision that would allow the federal government to ‘negotiate’ Medicare drug prices and cap annual increases to inflation—though it is more than happy to also swallow the legislation’s tax hikes and climate spending,” Strassel wrote recently.
A University of Chicago study found that such a plan would reduce research dollars by $663 billion over the next 17 years, resulting in 135 fewer drugs. The study estimates a loss of 331 million years of life or more than 30 times the toll from COVID.
“Most devastated would be the people AARP claims to represent. Nearly 90% of adults 65 and older take at least one prescription medication—more than half report taking four or more. The AARP’s price controls would mean horrific hits to research in cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, you name it,” Strassel wrote.
The act also provides $64 billion to extend ObamaCare insurance subsidies. That’s a massive chump of change for insurers, including UnitedHealth Group, a company that paid $1 billion in royalty payments to AARP in 2020 alone.
But there’s more:
–AARP argues that climate change, which gets billions from the law, has been largely responsible for a rise in infectious diseases throughout the world.
–AARP supports widespread mail-in voting without a requirement for IDs, a significant means through which Joe Biden got elected.
–AARP supports the continuation of masks, social distancing, and contact tracing.
–AARP supports gay marriage.
If these reasons aren’t enough to cancel your AARP membership, consider the consumer complaints.
Sitejabber.com, which provides overall reviews for various products and services, gives a huge thumbs down to AARP.
“AARP has a consumer rating of 2.17 stars [out of five] from 200 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Consumers complaining about AARP most frequently mention car insurance, customer service, and junk mail problems,'” the website advises. See https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/aarp.org for some of the other issues.
From just about any way you look at AARP, the organization doesn’t do much except to strive for more power rather than to help seniors!
That’s just my nickel, which I plan to spend on my membership for the Association of Mature American Citizens, or AMAC, which does a lot more for seniors than AARP and has a political agenda far more in keeping with my outlook. For more information, see http://www.amac.us.
Is the Raid on Trump’s Home the type of thing you get from a legitimately elected government? Would a legitimately elected government?
If Trump had done thing to Hillary the Press would have gone ballistic.
I think the Legal Insurrection Crowd has it nailed:
This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown. See, In Re J6. It’s also a provocation to get Trump to declare his candidacy for President before the midterms.
Democrats would love to turn 2022 into a referendum on Trump rather than the deliberate destruction of the national borders and inflation.
Would the FBI and DOJ do such a thing? Aren’t they “above” politics? The then FBI Director James Comey admitted to trying to set up the new President Trump by alerting him to the Steele Dossier, and then leaked the story of the briefing to CNN, which gave license to report on the false allegations in the dossier. So yes, the FBI and DOJ would do such a thing, and have done such a thing to Trump. All the more reason to keep your heads about you.
Don’t take the bait. Being stupid isn’t tough, it’s just stupid.
There was a time when I would not have thought this kind of thing possible from even the most crazy Democrat. That time is long past.
Does the left really expect this not to come back and haunt them.
Closing thought: I would hate to be a 20 year vet of the FBI seeing this kind of thing and wondering what happened to this agency.
