Trump 2025 - Resuming The National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity

It is very dark, especially when I contemplate the consequences of a Harris win.

Listening to NPR this morning reminded me that they still believe that they can gaslight Americans. Their ability to do that diminishes by the day, and they can no longer import new voters with public wealth. I don’t think they will lose gracefully.

My growing concern is that we will be attacked in other ways by the same forces that did everything possible to stop MAGA. Heck, my local hospital is currently kneecapped by a cyber attack. Whodunnit? The CCP? Some dude in a far-off basement acting alone? Israeli intelligence? Finnish terrorists? Who knows?

I don’t think we’ve seen the extent of what these people are willing to do. We’re at war, and I’m not sure there’s ever been a greater existential threat to the USA.

Makes a lot more sense now, the way thay snobby journalism guy was lashing out and trying to diminish the importance of citizen journalists as not Real Journalists!

Well. I guess they arent. Not by todays standards. And thank god for that!

X and free speech is completely killing the legacy media, along with other uncontrolled people doing things like podcasts or even just posting videos of happenings. The legacy media lost all credibility over the last decade. NPR has never been a viable media, it would fail just as fast as Air America did if it wasn’t tax-funded. They also lied about their whole funding scheme for decades, calling it “member supported” and discounting that the CPB funnels tax money to individual broadcasters, which constitutes most of their funding. It’s just deceptive accounting that allowed them to make the “member supported” claim.

I only write on a closed group dedicated to local politics and our posts covering mundane council and school board matters while offering political opinion commentary often get WAY more engagement than many of our local newspaper and TV news articles do. I even have several long-time, prominent Maine journalists as eager readers, who cannot express any support publicly out of fear of employment loss.

I’m just small potatoes compared to someone like DataRepublican on X, who is being Bettlejuiced by members of Congress to apply her data analyst skills to create sophisticated tools that track sophisticated funding schemes.

I’m more of a commentator than a journalist/reporter, but I try not to publish anything I’m not 100 percent able to back up, including academic citations if I get into anything history-related. I’m guessing that’s why so many history professors have shown up in my “suggested friends” list lately. Creeping my page!

There’s a guy on X called theunquirer who is doing some good citizen journalism in Maine surrounding public schools and local businesses as well. He’s the guy who made the call to Planet Fitness to confirm that it’s okay to wave your cock around in the women’s locker room. Lots of parents are sending him photos of materials given to kids, all kinds of gay and trans stuff that we were all assured “wasn’t happening” in public schools.

When the “real” news won’t inform the public that “it’s happening” after telling us “it’s not happening” for years, only citizen journalists can, and X is the main catalyst for it now. I don’t think anyone in Lewiston was writing about the actual student body composition at LPS as a point of concern until I started going on about how 1/3 of the students speaking a combined 42 languages places impossible demands on the institution and the city itself. I learned that and other information like it by watching school board meetings.

Heck, the superintendent didn’t even know how many languages were spoken. His first answer was 36, which was then corrected to 42. He just got a huge raise and a contract that was renewed two or three years earlier than it needed to be. It pays to play ball with the woke political leadership.

The truth is coming to the surface whether these lying crooks want it to or not. There’s just too many of us who can point it out in a variety of ways, then deal with any of the trolls, grifters, ideologues, or insufferable contrarians who come along with their predictable tactics.

It’s been a fun hobby! I’m still hoping for the excitement of some of my readers following through on their threats to me, but no luck so far.

Every potato started small.

Yeah. Its a pretty amazing time when some dude with a $100.00 samsung smart phone can leave a multi billion dollar political movement in shambles. :rofl:.

Leftys have to hire out the real violence. They don’t want to break their willowy fingernails in a tussle with some “alt right extremist” ruffian.

Other than eventually finishing a book about Lewiston and trying to get it published, I don’t think I’ll try to monetize my stuff, but you never know. I could probably go the whole substack route and promote on social media, but I don’t know how much I could actually make with a modest subscription fee. Maybe a few hundred a month, at most.

For now I’m just writing about stuff that nobody else in Lewiston will touch with a 10 foot pole, and I’m doing it in a way that seems to confound the usual suspects who go around calling everyone racist and now fascists. An essay I spat out in about 10 minutes critiquing a Heather Cox Richardson article was deemed by local reddit antifa to be “very calculating”, without being able to explain what I was wrong about. I even created an account to say hi under my actual name, and was immediately blocked. I figure that’s all a good sign.

I’m not sure how much of the needle I’m actually moving in terms of actual voting, but I’ve gotten enough encouragement to keep doing it at no benefit to myself. I think a lot of people find it cathartic. I certainly do.

Best way to ruin something you love- monetize it!

Unless its a really big number that also allows you the freedom to do it without deadline and all the performance oriented bs.

Nutjobs. According to Charlie Kirk, The Nation just reposted this article:

It’s all a script, and they’ve been recycling the basic ideas behind it for decades. It is more sophisticated than your average text message scammer’s script, but it is the same basic idea. By sending out a message that doesn’t pass a rational smell test, they allow the vulnerable people to self-select as victims.

I certainly ate the message up my early 20’s.

Excellent point. And why even the African Prince email scam had victims.

Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys passed.

A symbolic death of the Calinornia Dream.

It killed him! Seeing the once beautiful state he loved go full retart ripped his heart out, lit it on fire and threw it at a cop!

May he rest in peace. Real peace. Not California protest peace.

The man in my avatar wrote a good eulogy for California, He was a “fellow traveler”, sympathetic to the hardcore left, who couldn’t possibly comprehend the idea that his political allies would go on to turn California into a place people would flee by the millions.

^^ Actual “relatively peaceful” protests -imagine that.

SF has actually moved towards center recently. The Soros DA was recalled, 2 radical Board of Supervisors members lost elections, a Jewish business type (Daniel Lurie) from the Levi’s family got elected Mayor. Probably because there’s a lot less illegal immigrant voters…I know, racist thought.

Meanwhile, Bass the Communist let LA burn from wildfires with blatant incompetence, and a recall effort couldn’t even garner the requisite number of signatures.

I’m no longer in the “Democrats are incompetent” camp.

They are extremely competent at enriching themselves and their backers, along with manipulating people’s opinions with deception. They are highly competent at election rigging. They are highly competent at “deconstruction”, including ideological, social, and institutional deconstruction. Karen Bass is a highly competent communist agent.

I no longer believe that the dramatically worsening conditions in Maine are a whoopsie daisy, but the expected and desired outcome.

It is a mistake to use prosperity metrics as a measure for their political success.

It works, too. I’ve asked numerous people both online and in person to explain how a city like Lewiston has a moral obligation to somehow educate a student body that speaks 42 languages, with 1/3 of the students speaking no English at all.

Nobody even attempts to answer that, or explain the moral obligation we have to support their parents, either.

We are just one city of many who had this situation imposed on them without a single politician campaigning on it.

This is easy. Christopher Columbus and slavery. Next question, please.

Isn’t it more of a legal obligation, established in your State Constitution?
