I have been biting my tongue, but I want to get something off of my chest. I am a conservative. I am first and foremost a social conservative. How conservative? Enough to scare the horses and the children. Let’s take one issue. I don’t believe that homosexual marriage should be legal. I don’t believe that homosexuals should be allowed to adopt children. I don’t believe that homosexuality itself should be legal.
I am a fiscal conservative. I don’t think that we should have automatic increases in federal budgets. I think that having each unit of government being required to reduce their budget by 1% next year would be a great way to start.
I am a second amendment conservative. It is quite likely that several members of my immediate family would not be alive today if it weren’t for a gun available that was used against an intruder.
Having said that, there are differences that I have with the current populist movement. (I say “populist”, not “conservative”.) Democrats have been cheating in elections at least since Lyndon Johnson’s 1948 Senate election. (Among other irregularities then, in Jim Wells County the voting register, at the end of the list, had hundreds of names in alphabetical order with the same handwriting.) However, I think that it is not only lazy and delusional, but also counterproductive to claim cheating every time that we lose. In 2020 I think that it is possible that cheating may have affected the outcome of the Senate elections in Georgia, but I don’t think that there is any way that it affected the outcome of the Presidential election. Trump lost. Bigly. Not understanding this hurts our chances of winning in the future. Claiming cheating after every congressional or governor’s loss only reminds me of the naivety of the (misquoted) comment by Pauline Kael: “I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him.”
On another issue: Ukraine is corrupt. Russia is evil. I don’t approve of everything that Ukraine does, but Russia is the one who invaded. Russia is the primary bad guy in this “special military operation”.
Just because Ukraine has done things wrong doesn’t make Russia right. If Russia decides to invade Finland, or Lithuania, or Poland, will many attempt to justify it, also?
I think that Mike Pence did the right thing on January 6th. If Vice-President Al Gore had done in January 2001, or had Joe Biden had done in January 2017 what many are insisting the Pence should have done in January 2021, those same people would be insisting strenuously that Gore and Biden couldn’t do that.
Vaccines have saved millions of lives worldwide, whether it is measles, polio, tuberculosis, or whatever. I believe that the Covid vaccine has diminishing value with repeated boosters, but I believe that the initial vaccines saved many lives. Yes, some died from the vaccine itself; but many more lives were saved. Anecdotal stories of people dying from the vaccine can be matched and outmatched by lives lost by those who did not have access to the vaccine. I personally had a good friend, who had no other health issues, die of Covid before the first vaccine was available to the public. I am thankful for the vaccines.
I am a conservative—neither a populist nor a leftist nor a deep state supporter. There are still many like me in this country. Promoting my views is more important to me than supporting any particular individual. I voted for Trump twice, in part because of his promises concerning judges, and in part because of the tragedies that voting for a Democrat would bring. However, I will vote for whoever has the best chance of promoting my values. There remain in this country conservatives who are neither left wing nor deep state nor populists. Our values are more important to us than power, than popularity, and more than any one individual.
Well, based on the first 9 posts, this looks like a different kind of thread this week. We will see if anybody actually watches any of the Sunday shows and reports on the content.
The successful 2024 conservative candidates will need to stop attacking other conservatives, stop complaining about the past and start offering detailed solutions to fix the growing financial and societal decay crises.
Nancy Pelosi and a host of liberal clucks are making the rounds to gloat today.
In case anyone missed it yesterday, a Penske truck left the Maricopa County Election Office, and drove to Runbeck Election Services. Their stated mission is the Democrat's 2022 mantra heard nonstop last week:
To Defend Democracy
Runbeck Election Services boasts a spider web spanning 37% of voters. This company provides mail-in ballots nationwide. Pay attention.
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. Job 37:5-6 (King James Version)
Just like America in Oregon there were some disappointments and especially at Governor although after 40 years you become numb to the reality of fraud by mail, but there were more significant wins than losses. You can bet the Dems are in panic mode as they used all their advantages in the media both TV and social media as you could not surf the net without a visual of Satan Christine Drazen washed in red taking away women’s abortions. She proved you can run as Pro-Life and not have it hurt you since she got closer than any candidate in 30 years. If she ran as a Conservative, she may have won?
She only needed the horns and pitchfork to make their message complete. Even with their unlimited funding from the unions and offshore cash along with hundreds of millions in friendly media and the Portland fraud express, they only squeak out a couple of percentage points.
There is no such thing as an ugly win. The Repubs were able to take back the House and most likely Sinate in the District of Corruption. The witch is going to have to retire and go take care of her Gay husband for her last few years on this rock before she gets to explain to God why she passed laws to kill 65 million of his precious babies. Guess what Pelosi, unlike the Pope you will not be able to write him a check for absolution, you are going to look surprised when he turns his back on you the same you did to him.
To win both houses is a huge win and if Arizona and Nevada become big wins in Gov and Sinators, this will be a few of the biggest comebacks in decades. The unique piece of this victory is not the numbers but the conservatism of the candidates.
After fifty years of the GOP kneejerk need to promote Dem lite candidates as Repubs, a major portion of the winners were hardcore MAGA populists. These are not the cross the aisle to vote with the Repubs China Mitch Repubs, these are wearing red hats and looking to hang some chicken from the trees to snag some gators. There is a twenty-footer named Hunter that already has a mouth full of chicken and sitting in the mud with his buddies.
There are wins from Dem to MAGA which for decades the GOP said could never win. They were not afraid to admit they were ultra-nuclear-MAGA and wore the label proudly. Those that did not or slinked into the moderate weasel words were generally punished by the voters and those who stood proud were victorious.
Voters were not in the mood for games and did not tolerate those. The Trump candidates who did lose were in places like PA, MI and NY where the city machines were running overtime to stuff the ballot boxes like they have for decades with the additional help of changed voting rules to make the fraud easier. Doctor OZ had both in trying to be a moderate who seemed to go through the motions of running and then having to overcome Philly’s polls which have been stealing for two hundred years.
Florida was an incredible victory and has the Communist Party in convulsions. This election was a model of how to run and election clean and efficient. It was counted in a couple hours after it was closed and no issues of questionable counting. While the dirty states were taking days, they were taking minutes and hours which allowed the Repubs to take the state in large swaths including Miami the DNC stronghold, not anymore.
Now the Repubs in the upcoming Trump election already owns FL, OH and TX with Zona on the way. After Lake takes over and installs the DeSaint election rules the GOP will have a solid network that will make Battleground states solid Red which is genius.
Georgia already reformed their election laws although there is work still to do as well as a Gov Kemp who is questionable at best. The point is there was huge states taken from a Battleground to a very solid Red allowing Trump to focus on PA, MI and WI and dramatically shrinking the options for the National Socialist Party as the eight Battleground states are now 4-5.
The Repubs have to understand the fact the modern Communist Party is more a cult than a political party. These followers believe gummit is a god and they worship it their entire lives. To take this away from them and vote Repub would be like taking God away from a Christian or a bomb away from a Mooselip it cannot be done. Their entire being is wrapped up into being good tolerant people which first and last is voting for the Democrat candidate no matter how corrupt or impaired he is. They will not be deterred.
Every institution for the Communist Party church or the Three Pillars (Academia, Media, and the DNC) work in tandem to accomplish the goal of taking over the country and installing their Marxist model. The media spends thousands of hours promoting their candidates while destroying anyone who does not march in lockstep to their secular humanism. The unions spend millions of dollars supporting their candidates and brainwashing their members while the Repubs spend all their time backbiting and searching for that mythical perfect candidate.
The other advantage you have with being secular humanists is the ends justifies the means. If you can cheat to get elected you must do it to save the world from those evil Repubs. They do not disagree with you they believe you are heretics who deserve punishment and their absolute hatred. They hate God and Christianity while pastors reach out to them the secularists cut off their arms to continue to worship their gods of paganism.
Most Christian pastors ignore politics and will tell their churches to vote without giving any advice whatsoever, many will not even allow voter guides or candidates in their churches while the other side is pushing theirs in churches and union halls 24/7, it is a huge advantage they have and always will for fear of losing tax status’ and who can blame them.
With all those advantages it was a miracle the Repubs had as large a victory as they did. To imagine with China Mitch helping the other side, outspent ten to one while having nearly no structure to work with as the other side has a well-paid cheat machine, they most likely retook both houses and likely have the trifecta next election is a miracle similar to 1776.
In the next two years the Conservatives need to begin to build a structure from kindergarten on up. Educating yourself about capitalism with books like mine, The Republic of Texas which explains what a Capitalistic Christian country would look like to having churches or some other network allow their facilities for organizing the disorganized to building a stronger Conservative media to start.
This Red wave is rolling across America all the way to Oregon and California and will get stronger through ways never imagined. God made a huge miracle occur as the most hardcore conservatives won and moderates like Oz lost. It was repeated again and again with only a few losses to those people. It would have been great to have a blowout victory, but there are no bad wins and only ugly losses which Biden/Pelosi are now finished.
Assuming Arizona turns to solid Red and Lake does for it, what DeSaint did for Florida you will have a solid foundation to reach across the country to help stop this Dem cult which has invaded America. This can be a solid structure to reach out to more states like Oregon and Nevada as the journey for freedom marches on, started by President Trump and moving forward to Lake, Abbot, and DeSantis who can take this message to the four corners of the world so God’s message of Salvation can be heard by the slaves of Satan.
Praise God for Victory
I just watched “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street” and she ended the show showing her guests for “Sunday Morning Futures.” All the guests remain the same but Keri Lake was not one of them. Not good. It’s hard to get an accurate picture of the big steal going on in Arizona. 88% is still be reported with Hobbs the crook leading Lake by almost two points.
Course my Ducks choking the playoff spot and having a bad call on the last play of the game to take them out of FG range is not helping today. I hate refs throwing flags on the last play no matter what team it is.
Let them win or lose it on the field. It was a ticky tack call. Oh well, the Pac 12 will be happy the Ducks are out.
 | "I'm watching the news now, they're declaring the End of the Trump Era (shakes head). I'm just being honest with you, I live in Ohio, amongst the poor whites. A lot of you don't understand why Trump is so popular. But I get it, because I hear it every day. He's very loved. And the reason that he's loved, is that people in Ohio have never seen anything like him. He's an honest liar. Not joking with you now. That first debate, I'd never seen anything like it. I've never seen a white male billionaire, screaming at the top of his lungs, "This whole system is rigged!", he said. And across the stage, was white woman Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, sittin' over there looking at him like, "No, it's not." I said now wait a minute bro, it's what he said. And the moderator said, well, in fact, if the system is rigged, as you suggest, what would be your evidence? Remember what he said, bro? He said, "I know the system is rigged, because I use it!" I said, "GOD DAMN." ... No one had ever heard someone (running for President) say something that true. And then Hillary Clinton tried to punch him in the taxes, "This man doesn't pay his taxes." (Trump) shot right back, "That makes me smart." And then he said, "IF you want me to pay my taxes, then change the tax code, but I know you won't, because your friends and your donors enjoy the same tax breaks that I do." And with that, my friends, a star was born. No one had ever seen anything like that. No one had ever seen anything like that, no one had ever seen somebody come from inside of that house, outside, and tell all the commoners, 'We are doing everything that you think we are doing, inside of that house.' Democrats are sore losers." |
Some nice pics of the Trump family (DJT/kids):
Beautiful Tiffany Trump Marries Michael Boulos At Mar-a-Largo
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/beautiful-tiffany-trump-marries-michael-boulos-mar-largo/
Tiffany, 29, is the daughter of former President Donald Trump and actress Marla Maples, who were married from 1993 to 1999, and half-sister to Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric and Barron Trump.
She and Boulos, 25, wed at the family’s Mar-a-Lago Club, just after Tropical Storm Nicole passed through Florida and three days before Donald is expected to announce his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election.
“We are focused on this sacred union and welcoming beloved friends and family, not on politics,” Marla Maples tells PEOPLE, adding that the family chose the venue because “this was Tiffany’s childhood home and where she was brought into the world.”
“Tiffany has never been a people divider,” a social source adds, noting that all of the Trumps were in attendance. “This is a joyous family occasion.”
I watched Face the Nation and it was obvious that the Dems re already warning McCarthy that he better take their instructions and be their boy even if he gets the gavel.
The scary thing, I think it might happen, he gets the gavel and loses his spine. If that happens, it will really hurt the GOP in 2024 as the base will be thoroughly disgusted.
