Sadly, I tend to agree. They made it easier for the lazier in the population to vote using mail in ballots as well.

Go listen to Bridgette Gabriel’s incredible speech on how “The peaceful majority are irrelevant”

Most Germans were NOT a member of the communist/nazi party, but yet they took over and killed millions. She gives many examples of this.

“Many older people in my old, conservative Baptist church continue to vote Democrat”

I see you’re from Texas, and I think that happens often here in the south. It’s like people are Democrats before they’re conservative. It makes no sense!!

Mom tells the story about when Dad was in his first pastorate (Baptist) in 1945 and they were basically kids just out of Bible College. A guy in the church mentioned he was voting Democrat, and Mom was shocked. Without thinking or missing a beat she, announced, “But you can’t be a Christian and be a Democrat!” The possibility was inconceivable to her.

If it was true then, it’s much more so now, considering the RAT platform.

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.” — Yamamoto

Interesting coincidence, I watched the movie "Tora, Tora, Tora" over the weekend. The final scene showed the Japanese high command celebrating the Pearl Harbor bombing. Yamamoto then stood up to give his speech, letting them know Japan was in a great deal of danger. Yamamoto was correct. Terrific movie.

The quote from Yamamoto is dead on. There are people who I see getting more and more worried and agitated by the blame and hate being piled on them.

There is going to be some incident which turns a mild mannered Walter Mitty type into a raging bull. Some random black-on-white crime, a young child being molested, an Antifa type pushing some defenseless old woman while the husband is there.

The incident is coming, and it will be the dam breaking, the shot heard round the world.

And the cup of hate will be full and overflowing.

I did both versions of Midway. Satisfying...

Both are very good. In the newer version, the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo gave me goosebumps. I actually sat in a B-25 a few weeks ago, trying to imagine what it must have been like.

If there were enough sheep, Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections, would it.

I recall the movie “Network”. Vividly recall the knock-out scene where the inspired protagonist on TV tells his audience what they ought to be mad about, and then tells them: “Get up from your chairs, go to the window and yell ‘I’m mad as Ell and I’m not going to take it anymore!’”
Of course, he is later assassinated by commies who got openly greedy and joined the corrupt establishment.
Nonetheless, it was an inspiring moment, one we need.

Americans are going to get angry, especially about inflation, but that doesn't mean there is a conservative majority or that the angry are going to self-identify as conservatives. If anything a consistent, reliable conservative majority is less likely now than in the Seventies because we are less rural and more propagandized by colleges and the media The good news is that there isn't a consistent and unwavering liberal or progressive majority either -- not in an ideological sense.

Good post, but Clinton wasn't going to lose in 1996. The paradox is, if the Democrats preside over prosperity that weakens their base of dependents, they are still likely to win because of the economy. Clinton's own victory may have been at the expense of his park's future prospects. Trump was on his way to reducing dependency by putting people back into the job force, which would have hurt the Democrats, when covid came and the shutdown increased dependence on government.

I’m just stating what I see. Many of the Greatest Generation still worship FDR and his party. They blindly can’t see it any other way. They have no excuse for not knowing what the Democratic Party stands for, especially now. “The Democrats are for the poor and the little guy,” they parrot.

You could once, long ago, be a Democrat in good conscience. Not anymore. Not by a long shot. Not for several decades.

People are waking up, and Big Tech can’t shut us down. Grassroots groups such as Freedom to Breathe, MAGA Patriots, Yorba Linda (Calif.) Freedom, Awakened American People and Pepe Lives Matter are using an app called Telegram to communicate.

I had never heard of Telegram until this year, but am now a regular user. One such group, We the People Orange County (Calif.) began meeting in a pizzeria earlier in the year and the weekly meetings are getting more and more crowded.

“Rapidly becoming”? We have been furious since 2008, at the very least.
The author is the one just waking up.
