America as we know it is facing its ultimate existential threat, all focused on whatever the left thinks it will take to ensure Donald Trump is not our next President.

Our dear, constitutional America has crossed the political Rubicon (perhaps the River Styx). In addition to foreign policy, border, and economic problems, it now faces a breakdown in our justice system. Those who use governmental powers to cheat or commit politically based crimes have no concerns about punishment. Heavily abetted by the Marxist progressives in control of our educational, media, and justice systems, nothing is out of bounds for them.

Because America’s left has removed religion from the public space and demonstrates immorality at every turn, we then must look at this issue differently because we now have citizens who have no compunction about lawlessness.

With leftists (progressive Marxists), who now include all Democrat politicians, no penalties for lawlessness apply, and that’s for two reasons. One, they have no shame. And two, even where a penalty could be applied, it won’t.

As James Comey explained in 2016, Hillary Clinton was fully caught having committed several serious violations of our secrecy acts. Ignoring a court order to preserve evidence (as well as statutory requirements for government records), she deleted 30,000 emails and smashed multiple cell phones, yet no one was prosecuted. So, lawlessness worked.

Harry Reid lied outright in 2012 on the Senate floor, claiming that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes for 10 years. Once the election ended and the truth came out, Reid was asked about it. His answer? “He didn’t win, did he?” Statements from a leading statesman possibly changed the outcome of an election, but there were no consequences.

The establishment’s burying Hunter’s laptop story until after the 2020 elections very likely changing the outcome of a very close race. None of the 51 ‘officials’ who signed an obviously false letter of denial will ever be prosecuted.

Very few miscreants have paid the price. I can only remember two offhand. In the Duke Lacrosse Case, Mike Nifong, the county prosecutor, figured he had the political-boosting case of his career because it had two major leftist touch points—rich white kids and a black female victim. Nifong was later disbarred, and Duke paid over $100 million to the students, along with an apology. But the young men were forever tainted.

Nick Sandmann, the Covington Catholic High student whom the media accused of racism for allegedly smirking at a Native American at the Lincoln Memorial, also received some measure of justice. That slander cost the media a lot, and Sandmann is wealthier for it. But his life has been affected, just as Kyle Rittenhouse’s life has forever been altered (nearly fatally) by a cabal of the media and the leftist judicial system in Kenosha.

Aside from one politician and a few media, these actors never pay a price for their actions. There is nothing to dissuade them in the future, and there is no penalty for mass fraud in the November elections. Democrats know: 1) they can cheat and manipulate with impunity because winning is the only thing; 2) if caught, their win still stands, just like a football score when the game is over; and 3) nothing will happen to them if caught.

Should a campaign-ending tragedy befall Donald Trump, while a scapegoat will certainly be caught and ‘Epsteined,’ there will be no repercussions for the plotters. And that would tragically warp America to an unrecoverable state.

Democrats don’t just hate Trump, they fear him. They understand that, once elected, the entire deep state, the corrupt structure that all Democrats and most D.C. Republicans support, will be cleaned out like the Augean stable. Therefore, they find acceptable any measures to avoid that outcome.

Should it happen, the voice of the American people will be muffled, and the left will win. We see this playing out in the Soviet-style kangaroo court trials Trump is now facing, with their blatant, egregious, and openly visible in-your-face,’ I dare you’ actions.

We are on very dangerous ground.

I disagree that Biden’s “campaign” (what campaign?) is worried about huge Trump rallies in a blue state, New Jersey. Biden continues to willfully, recklessly and even gleefully wreck our country, our currency, our military, our legal system, our borders and our freedom. He and his bosses (Obama, Soros, etc.) would not do this if they were worried about voters. We should be concerned when they DO get worried, if they do. Nervous sociopaths do not walk back their tyranny when frightened. They triple down on their tyranny. Look for martial law, draped in a climate emergency or perhaps another COVID emergency lockdown come October. Or something too sinister even to imagine. These people will not go quietly, even if Trump somehow overcomes prosecution and fraud to defeat them. In fact, they will not go at all.

This concept of “pausing the bombing” or “slowing down” or delaying a war is obscene. By “obscene,” I mean conceptually obscene. The mind cannot grasp a contradiction this horrendous, not when the stakes are so high, and no rational mind should try.

Whether you’re a military general or a pacifist, the truth is the same: War is war. It’s all or nothing. You either engage to win, or you don’t fight at all. Vietnam taught this to America, although most never learned it.

People who call for a pause to Israel’s war against violent barbarians know full well that a pause means surrender. A surrender when you’re winning? And when you’re on the right side? Israel was attacked. If Palestinians and those who love them didn’t want a war, THEN THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE STARTED ONE.

******************

Putin plotting terror against the U.S.? So is the Biden regime, against Americans and their hollowed out Constitution. If not through bombs, then certainly through fostering hyperinflation, gutting due process, prosecuting political opposition, censorship by proxy, opening up the borders to moochers and thugs, attempts to disarm the citizens, castration of the military and ruthlessly propagandizing the young.

I am SICK of people who scream that Putin is evil (he certainly is) while pretending or ignoring that the clearest and most present danger now arises from our own government, in plain sight. If you are foolish enough to think the Biden regime can or will save you from Putin — and that it even matters if they do — then you are clueless beyond repair.

Predictions that the U.S. and the world would run out of fossil fuels go back decades, and these predictions have so far turned out to be wrong. A new report shows the U.S. has 227 of oil, 130 years of gas, and 485 years of coal.

or years, activists argued for an energy transition away from fossil fuels because, they said, we were hitting “peak oil,” the point at which we can no longer produce oil because there’s little left in the ground or it’s too expensive to recover.

In 2023, the U.S. produced nearly 13 million barrels per day, more than any other nation in history. Predictions that the U.S. and the world would run out of oil go back decades, and these predictions have so far turned out to be wrong.

Tom Pyle, president of the Institute for Energy Research (IER), a free market think tank focusing on energy, told Just the News that anti-fossil fuel activists latched onto “peak oil” to push for alternatives, and with the U.S. leading the world’s production, their rhetoric has evolved.

“First, they said, ‘We don’t have the resources. We’re big consumers, but we don’t have the energy. So we have to get off of the resource. Then it became evident and clear that that was not the case,” Pyle said.

Centuries of energy

In 2011, IER produced its first North American Energy Inventory.

“It was really for the purpose of shattering this myth of energy scarcity. To my knowledge, prior to that, nobody had taken the effort to compile, using government data …. the amount of energy that we have in North America,” Pyle said.

In that 2011 report, Pyle stated: “Thanks to new and continuing innovations in exploration and production technology, there’s every reason to believe that today’s estimates of reserves are only a fraction of what will be produced and delivered tomorrow.”

The statement turned out to be accurate. The Shale Revolution, which combined technologies in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, made available large deposits of previously unrecoverable oil throughout the U.S.

The IER’s 2024 North American Energy Inventory update shows that North America has 1.66 trillion barrels of technically recoverable resources, and at current rates of consumption, the report calculates that it would take 227 years to deplete it all.

File 2024NorthAmericanEnergyInventory.pdf IER 2024 North American Energy Inventory

“Technically recoverable resource” refers to oil and gas that can be produced based on current technology, and it doesn’t consider economic factors that might make it unprofitable under current technologies.

The 1.66 trillion barrels is 15% higher than the estimates from the 2011 report.

By the numbers

If all the oil in North America’s technically recoverable reserves was devoted exclusively to gasoline production, according to the report, the North American transportation sector would have enough energy for 539 years at 2023 usage rates.

Trump’s first “criminal trial” is starting to wind down. It’s a disgrace to call it a trial. The things he’s charged with are not crimes, and nobody claims they are crimes. Many male celebrities have paid “hush money” to quiet false or true rumors about their personal lives. The prosecution of Trump is criminal, not anything he actually or allegedly did.

We all know what he’s on trial for — his ideas. The moment someone is put on trial for his ideas, you can be sure the society you live in is no longer free.

It’s worse than election interference, even though it’s that too. Trump is being made an example. The powers that be (in both parties, throughout all our government, the corporations, the schools and universities) want to convey to the little people: “Don’t go there. Don’t challenge or question the things Donald Trump has challenged and questioned. Somehow, he became president for 4 years. Nothing like that will ever, ever happen again. If you applaud him, then you’re next.”

We have a Uniparty in D.C., and Trump challenged it for real. Look at the Speaker of the House. Supposedly a conservative Republican. Now he works openly with Democrats to pass all their totalitarian legislation. In exchange for this petty little twit getting to remain Speaker nominally, we get a DemCom Congress. For people to fall so quickly, they were never what you thought they were in the first place. Our government is beyond repair and beyond redemption because the ideas underlying today’s culture — group think, conformity, state run propaganda mills called schools, politically connected, rich elites controlling what should be free enterprise, woke madness, mindless adherence to the state — all these are the polar opposite of what made America great, and the polar opposite of what either an individual or society requires for its survival.

My best guess is that Donald Trump will either be found guilty of the charges, or — if he’s lucky — there will be a hung jury. Then on to the next show trials. But it shouldn’t have come this far. He shouldn’t have to rely on luck or on the whim of leftist Manhattan residents (who sit on the jury), the types who watch CNN or MSNBC, while reading the New York Times, and consider themselves (according to what they’ve told reporters) “apolitical.”

We are in a war. The leftists know it and treat it with breathtaking consistency and decisiveness. They win over and over, not because they’re rational or right or strong, but because they HAVE NO REAL OPPOSITION. Donald Trump was the only opposition they faced.

The first lesson of adulthood — for every individual, no matter what the circumstances — is that nobody is coming to rescue you. I don’t care if you like Donald Trump. Donald Trump is being made an example of by the people who intend to control you — unless you conform with everything that’s wrong, evil and stupid in our collapsing civilization. Once they finish with him, you can expect the American equivalent of Nazi Germany or worse. I am deadly serious; because I know they are. Until or unless you learn how to fight back for yourselves, the crazies in control will continue on their relentless quest to devour all things beautiful, sane and good.

The conservatives keep hoping for someone to come and rescue them. Many think faith and hope will be enough to conquer the tanks, guns, prisons and impoverishment of evil. No. You need action too — stronger and more decisive than the actions of your enemy.

“For the greater good” almost always means this will be bad for you.

–Spike Cohen

****************

Math is white supremacy, according to a California-funded report, because it insists on obtaining “the right answer.”

“Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuates objectivity,” which is “a trait of white supremacy.”
(according to @eyeslasho on Twitter/X)

If you wish to annihilate civilization, spread this idea and convince enough people (especially young people) that it’s true.

If you wish to start race wars, create strife and spread untold envy, hatred and suffering, and to break down all possibility for rational, coherent communication, then you must kill the idea of objective reality.

And: It’s working.

Leftists of the world … enjoy!

Climate lockdowns have been discussed by Democrats for several years. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) introduced the Climate Emergency Act of 2021, co-sponsored by 62 congressional Democrats. The bill would “require the President to declare a national climate emergency under the National Emergencies Act, and for other purposes.” Allowing Biden to declare a climate emergency would provide … him with statutory powers that could be renewed should he gain a second term. The proposed Act reads like a communist takeover, demanding a “radically and socially just” plan to increase union membership, guarantee wages and benefits, promote social and environmental justice, expand the rainbow flag, and transition America to a carbon-free economy.

Last July, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, told reporters, “He [Biden] is going to do everything he can to take action. This climate emergency [decision] is not going to happen tomorrow but we still have it on the table.”

According to Breitbart News, Cuba’s Communist government has sentenced a mother to 15 years in prison for filming a protest of Cuba’s dictatorship.

Old news for Cuba. But it’s coming to America. If Trump can be put on trial for protest, and jailed (as I predict he will be), then so can anyone. After Trump, it will continue with regular MAGA people. Then conservative Christians. Then economic conservatives. Then libertarians. Then — finally — leftists who annoy the faction in charge. It will happen because NOBODY is trying to stop them. Other than Trump, but he’s going to be jailed. They know it’s imperative that they make an example of Trump. So start thinking about how you plan to handle the demise of your freedom, if you remain unwilling to fight or take ANY risks for it. With things this big, NOT taking risks is the biggest risk of all. If you don’t yet see this, you will learn.

In a similar vein, a German politician Marie-Therese Kaiser was just convicted and fined more than $6,000. Her crime? Merely posting online statistics that show Afghan immigrants disproportionately commit sexual assault in Germany.

Germany is part of the “free world”, you say? In Germany, freedom of speech is gone. You’re fined for voicing your opinion, even if it’s backed by fact, so long as it offends the authorities. It can’t happen in America, you say? It has already started. The word that has set our First Amendment on fire is “misinformation.” The rest is just a matter of time. Not much time, since the vast majority of us still labor under the delusion we will always be free.

If the Democrats were an honest party, RFK would be cake walking to the white house right now, and I say that as a Trump supporter… had they nominated him, he would handily win the white house.

However, RFK, much like Trump, is not beholden to the globalist, uniparty oligarchy… so, he they pushed him out. In fact they lit up on him harder and faster than I haver EVER seen anyone get lit up.. calling him an existential threat almost immediately when he began getting press early in the cycle.

However, RFK cannot be president because he’s not on board with all their crap… Yes he’s a liberal, make no mistake about it, but he’s NOT owned, lock stock and barrel by the system and its backers… so, why replace a complete puppet that has no idea what is going on or where he is, with someone who’s not on the team?

At this point RFK independent run is looking like its going to be the largest independent vote grabber since Perot, only this time, the majority of this vote will be coming from previous Biden supporters.

Trump is wise to do what he can to minimize RFK’s appeal, he’s a died in the wool liberal, but his general campaign messaging is almost exactly the same as Trumps… Basically RFK is offering the same “Government’s not working for you, and I’ll make sure it does” messaging. RFK uses more intellectual terminology like “captive agencies” and such, but at the end of the day he’s saying the same thing.

I don’t see many conservatives moving to RFK, however, the disenfranchised and fed up democrats who will vote for Trump and a lot of independents will be open to voting for him.

I don’t see any math where in a 3 way race, RFK is not more of a net negative to Biden, however, he certainly will draw some voters who would be for Trump if RFK isn’t in the race, so, Trump is wise to do what he can to minimize this segment, and work to maximize the other one.

There was, if hazy memories recall correctly, a time when the Democratic Party was merely an alternative to the Republican Party and not a threat to the country. Those days are gone. Today’s Democrats are in the business of wracking, ruining and razing.

The Biden administration, says former Hawaiian Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, is “​​destroying the foundational, fundamental elements of our country and what it means to be an American.”

Speaking recently to Dave Rubin of the Rubin Report, Gabbard noted that “we have seen now consistently throughout his entire administration over these last three and a half years, consistently pushing policies that undermine our freedom, that make our country less safe and less secure, and that is very quickly unraveling and” wrecking the backbone of the country.

Though Gabbard left the party not even two years ago, what we’re seeing is not new. The political left, says author David Horowitz, has long been filled with radical activists who “cannot be negotiated with.”

“There is no living alongside it. Either Americans defeat the Neo-Nazi Left or the Neo-Nazi Left defeats America,” says Horowitz.

While there were Democrats in the 1960s and 1970s, and a few in the 1980s, who were centrists in both name and deed, the party is now owned by this “Neo-Nazi Left.” The takeover (or was it a willing surrender?) is complete, having reached the point that today Democrats are closely aligned with terrorists. In 2024, they are:

– Refusing to demand that university officials stop the on-campus threats to Jewish students.

– Going soft on pro-Hamas protesters, some of whom kept pamphlets calling for “death to America.”

– Funding those protesters.

– Calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza war, which Hamas will break again just as it did on Oct. 7.

– And bullying Israel while treating the terrorists who invaded that country as if they’re a voting constituency.

Mark Levin, author, talk show host and chairman of Landmark Legal Foundation, wrote a book last year about the party’s war on this nation’s values and foundations. Levin said it was important for him to write “The Democrat Party Hates America” because “the 800-pound gorilla that is responsible for virtually every single cultural, political, societal confrontation that we have is the Democrat Party.”

And why is this the case?

“Because,” he says, “the Democrat Party is built on hate.”

The evidence is in schools that teach students that the U.S. is a murderous, racist nation built on stolen land and slave labor; in the media and entertainment realms, where “news” and show business productions are intended to turn Americans against the Western ideals of liberty and civil society; and of course in the politics of the Democratic “squad” that is made up of lawmakers hostile to the country yet has been allowed, in some cases encouraged, to aggregate more power in the party.

Even Elon Musk, who in the past voted “overwhelmingly” for Democrats, recognizes that they “have become the party of division and hate.”

What they want is a new America that is nothing like the country the founders gave us and would more closely resemble an authoritarian state ruled by, yes, the Neo-Nazi Left.
