“It’s now undeniable that the Democrat Party is actually a communist front. The Republican Party is as well, it’s just not as undeniable for most... yet.” 🎯
It's actually just further sorting & sifting & shaking out, isn't it? They were always really allied.
...THEIR "democracy" ever more clearly -VS- OUR Republic.
Alot of dems have to be really scratchin' their heads ! ! The Dick Cheney open-armed welcome as honored ally, alone, has to have tipped over many. Delicious.
I have not met a single Democrat who is scratching their heads. They are all putting Harris/Walz signs in their front yards. The Trump people are not showing their opinions because the Democrats accuse them of being crazy.
So, in my area it is just the same except Harris is up by 3%. In 2020 Trump was up by 2%. I just hope the polls are tainted
Plenty of cognitive dissonance out there to fill an ocean.
Don’t know where you live. But here outside of Portland (of infamy), no-one has yard signs… a few houses with permanent Trump signs. Zero bumper stickers. Portland is likely different: lots of Biden switched out seamlessly to Harris signs, I’d guess. The usual. Trump people are always reluctant to advertise — if they do, the signs get stolen. Bumper stickers mean their cars acquire mysterious deep scratches. So.
We all know who engages in that behavior — justifying it as righteous, of course.
I’m focused on my grown children. Absolute TDS, but distracted by work & young family life. Will never vote for Trump & would cast for Harris, but most likely will sit this one out.
They lack, however, the perspective of the older generation of dems, for whom Dick Cheney still embodies the worst of the worst. (And they were right, weren’t they? …Well, he’s among the worst.) It’s those I was thinking about in my post — The slay-the-war-mongering- Dick Cheney/Halliburton-monster, who yet lives on powerfully in their collective zeitgeist…THOSE dems are who I was talking about. — Now aligned & embraced by Kam & Tim & all the rest, unreservedly. Same monster now, with the other neocons, come home to his rightful family.
…We’ll see, too, what happens tonight! Eyes on the betting odds & keep a sharp & wary eye on down-ballot races. (And, yes, it does seem the polls are tainted, weighted to dems … & don’t know about you, but I don’t know any Trumper who’d tell a pollster who they were voting for. )
Try to stay positive, Jim. As BB & JH advise, keep a 40k foot perspective & defect from the narratives playing out below. It’ll keep you based & sane.
You mention your kids who are concentrating on jobs and family. That was me 40 years ago and I was just too busy to pay attention to politics. I tended to just catch the evening news and vote accordingly. Isn’t that exactly what is the problem today? In a word, ignorance.
Who is educating the public today? Is retirement the solution? That is what woke me up. I actually had time to think, study and learn. That is probably why the government likes income taxes so much. We must work extra hard to keep our heads above water. Who has time to figure out how evil our government has become?
I prematurely "retired" @39, only to then meet a woman and start a family quite unexpectedly. We enjoyed 10 years of vacation but now I'm back in the thick of it. I don't have the time to go down rabbit holes anymore, but i do believe the one way to truly wake up is to no longer be spending 50 hours a week working. Our entire economic model does badly need a reboot.
We drive around the country a lot. There has been a massive resurgence of Trump signs. Sadly, in my direct area in NC, there are still too many Harris signs, BUT Trumpmania is clearly on the rise in this country.
Thanks for todays Takes... it is all just warm-up band material for tonight's Debate. Not sure if Kamabla will actually show up but if she does it is going to be hilarious. Like the Sleepy Pedo Joe debate tonight will be epic. The only real question, if the debate actually takes place, is what form of an ass whuppin will Trumpamania deliver... I will spend the day making popcorn 🍿 😋
Basically off topic, ALtab - although it is a fascinating bit of science on converting pollution into clean oxygen…from the write up:

Don’t know about you all but I’m nominating Ghost for a rewriting of history in the Middle East, probably with a healthy assist from the new media, that being the Badland’s version(s)!?! ---also, is their a Simpsons episode(Springfield, c’mon), or maybe a South Park one on pet eating, asking for a friend!?! ---God Bless!!!
I have a very important disagreement that must be taken seriously! The Arab horse, while beautiful is definitely NOT the fastest race horse in the world.
I know you’re having fun, and that’s wonderful. I like this kind of friendly banter and I too love Secretariat. My family has been involved in horses since I was a kid. When I was around 10 years old my dad bought some thoroughbreds with a friend of his. This was in Canada in the early 1950s. Dad used to take me to the races to see how his horses would do. I have a love of horse racing still.
Nice argument but: All thoroughbreds have Arab blood. It’s in the original breeding: Arab stallions - English riding horse mares. After that you have two separate breeds - Arabs and thoroughbreds. So saying the Arab is the fastest breed is still incorrect. What made Secretariat the fastest horse was the English riding horse blood he had. 😁😁😁
Betting on elections? Love it:) Why? Because, imho, it's a far more accurate view into the 'popularity' of the candidates than the so-called polls we currently ignore.
I don't love it because this is a common venue for organized crime who enjoys controlling outcomes to limit risk. This will devolve over time leading to further corruption in politics.
Oh what a tangled web “they” weave! There is just so much to decipher! The Brics union is something to behold! If Potus is truly on board and we leave NATO, UN and The council on foreign relations and don’t forget the Federal Reserve we might just be able to save the USA, but it seems an impossible task!
God’s gifted all who are needed with the requisite gifts of talent, expertise and wisdom to make it happen. In His greatest assists to mankind, it’s always been the underdog who succeeds with those gifts.🙏🙏
Kind of along the lines of what I was thinking yesterday, after pre-reading a storybook for my grandchild.
I think we’re all exactly like the youngest brother in the fairy tales. Given heart, goodness, wit, faith & courage to slay giants and dragons, he rescues & wins the princess and saves the kingdom. And, aren’t those real dragons & giants exactly like our “conspiracy theories” today? Not windmills.
(… Hmmm…and the Giant slayer, future king, & progenitor of King Jesus, David, was the youngest son, too. Except no fairy tale, that)
Such admiration and affection I have for this ragtag brilliant group here in the Badland!!
The task may seem impossible, but it is really very simple if we just understand our strengths and weaknesses. Our weakness is our government that has been mismanaged since 1871, by design!
Our strength is our free enterprise capitalism and the profit motive. If more of us could just see this instead of continually being confused by our Communist leaders, we can just do our jobs. The founders all knew what Adam Smith had recognized because every one of them were business people and understood how to build wealth.
Allowing the government to legally pick our pockets is not in the Constitution. Socialist traitors have done that for us and we have allowed it.
Why we cannot get this simple truth out astonished me. We apparently love our socialism too much.
I think socialism appeals to my grown offspring because they associate capitalism with the immoral and greedy corporatism they see. I love the heart behind that & they live it. But, products of the system & world we live in, they lack a deeper & more nuanced understanding & historical perspective.
Truth to tell, I agree with them, but I don’t attribute it to capitalism & don’t fall into a (IMO) false argument between those two systems.
They, we, all happily engage in all forms of commerce and production & when it’s humane, honest, charitable, moral & free, it isn’t seen as “capitalism”. And as long as those qualities exist, I’m all for it. It’s us just being us at our best. No other system has that potential to raise everyone to excellence and happiest. But, lacking those virtues, it’s a ravaging monster, even on the smallest scale.
We must aim for those virtues in all our endeavors, and restrain the monsters who lack them.
…How? Ah! That’s the rub! It requires great wisdom, foresight and integrity, doesn’t it?
We are living in the seventh day and God is resting. He set everything into motion and it is up to us to deal with the problems we have created or allowed to be created. I am afraid God is only working through good people who defeat bad people honorably. We do not kill them, we educate them concerning what works for all of us together. Logic and reason must prevail.
I truly believe most Democrats are uninformed. RINO’s are worse. They are informed but chose to go along with the Democrats because they liked the money more than honesty. That is a sin much worse than ignorance.
Even the oxen, asses and sick had to be ended by their stewards on the Sabbath. God may have rested on the seventh day of creation, but when that evening rolled around, He got right to it — sustaining, providing, preparing,, saving communicating, tending, and loving. Just being Holy God. But, I’m wondering why you think He’s sleeping or kicking up & just watching, leaving it all up to us? Or did I mistake the watchmaker deism in there? Throw back the curtains & open the windows, good Jim, my friend! There’s sunlight & breezes that want in.
Sunlight the best medicine and in the light the vampires scurry for the shadows. We are to be light and shine in the darkest times. May God Bless all of efforts in reclaiming our country our elections our borders and our safety including our pets.
They are eating our pets … you got to be kidding??!
Excellent work, as always, Badlanders. Ghostofpatrickhenry, I wonder if it might be appropriate to one-up and modernize “Mr. Nyet” to, say, “Mr. Internyet”?
Ghost, what does your take have to do with Luft’s arrest, other than the fact that he happens to be a US/Israeli citizen? I must have missed something. In any case, how can we trust anything the DOJ does right now, when their guiding principles are lies and subterfuge.
When all the news of corruption of the Biden's in Ukraine hit the fan Gal Luft was a piece of the puzzle. I think it was Miranda Devine interviewed him (he was in hiding) he told her he had proof of the Biden's crimes & that he was being hunted by our intelligence agencies. Within a few days later FBI said Luft was an arms dealer etc and a criminal. Same way they denigrated Shokin in Ukraine when he came forward of the Biden's corruption (think Burisma). I feel it was a giant coverup to keep the major players safe & still to this day to keep the grift going. This is why Hunter pled guilty to keep all the dirt from becoming even more public.
I have been asking since the 1950’s, where did all of the mafia go? They used to control gambling everywhere. Now gambling is just another regulated big business.
The whole concept of a casino is to pick the pockets of the gambler slowly while providing enough entertainment to keep them gambling.
What I ultimately figured out is the key is the reverse of compound interest. The casino makes a profit and generates compound growth for itself as a business. But, it’s survival requires that the gamblers suffer an equal compounded loss. It is really quite simple if we just think about it.
So, we now know where the mafia syndicate went. They went where the bigger money was located. Look at how the government has grown by picking our pockets. And, when we cannot provide enough in tax revenue, they grow by putting the losses onto a credit card issued by the Federal Reserve. Folks, this is not hard to figure out if we look at it logically.
My question is, if this is as simple as I just explained, why are we letting this continue? We do not need Trump to save America. We just need to save ourselves with some rational thought.
We need Trump to help. You and I may know this as individuals, but until a true leader steps up to broadcast it to the normies, using Kackala and Biden as foils, people just wont break out of the comfort zone. At least, I'm praying 🙏 Trump is that leader. God is good, and will win 🙏🙏🙏
You are correct. We the People need to influence everyone possible to understand the truth. I try to help direct clear thinking and I hope anyone here will feel free to cut and paste any of my thoughts into messages to folks who need our help.
Where are the other influential voices to speak the truth to us? Trump is the only one I know of that has taken everything the machine has thrown at him and is still standing. The endless persecution, lawfare, censoring, deplatforming and even an attempted assassination. Others like Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Rudy Guliani, Jeff Clark, Peter Navarro, John Eastman have lost law licenses, bankrupted & some given prision time. Trump will not be with us forever and I for one am listening to other truth tellers John Radcliffe, Tom Cotton, Ron Paul. Ted Cruz etc. But today I stand with Trump/Vance 2024, donate what I can, meet with like minded people and expand truth to others.
You are correct. Capitalism versus Communism is the question, but the answer is so damned simple it bothers me to point it out.
Capitalism is based on the profit motive and free enterprise. Adam Smith wrote about this extensively in 1776. He understood and the founding fathers based America on this foundation.
Our government has been stolen by Communists. Communism is based on exactly the opposite premise as Capitalism. It is based on the opposite of profit and that is loss. Look how much our government loses every year by design. They borrow more than they take from us to build even more debt by their choices. Can anyone argue against my facts?
The Federal Reserve is the credit card for our government and they have no control over what is spent. That is not their job, by design. I hope this makes sense because it is why we are in trouble. As long as we elect Democrats and RINOs we are going to continue failing until we totally collapse as a nation. I hope we can educate enough of us fast enough to stop the steal of our country.
Our government is a losing proposition. The best we can hope for is to break even yearly. Debt is not an option except in a dire emergency and then we tighten our belt and pay off that debt. We used to think that way, but socialism sells better that frugality. See? This isn’t hard at all.
Thank you! Every person serving in our Congress should read that story! It is perfect because it shows precisely the crazy logic that is driving Washington today.
I know. Spread it around. Bunce was admired because his uncommon common sense is universally appealing and unimpeachable.
We seem to have lost it, but when we meet it, as did an honest Crockett, it cleans up our sullied thinking, restoring it like vinegar does old cat urine-stained floors.
Oh Ghost! You’ve done it again! Your running, living history lessons all saved in notes. …Growing large now — better write the book, young Patrick Henry-footstep-walker!

“The Christian nation of Russia and the Hindu nation of India are in a deep alliance with the Muslims of both Arabia and Persia. What an epic sight to behold.” ! !

UN stalking the halls of “Gaza,” “Kosovo,” “Ukraine,” “Taiwan.” Something tells me their days are numbered.
One of those four is not the same as the other ones.
The concept behind these constructs was never to benefit any sovereign individual, at least in my own opinion. I will be interested to see if they are still there in 5 years.
When you say “constructs” are you saying they are illegitimate?
Me too!
BONUS FACT: The U.S. Dept of Justice is fully, totally, absolutely and finally corrupt. They bring a suit against Google? Haha.

Thank you Ghost for another informative take on Ukraine, Mogilevich, and Sessions. You are really connecting the dots.
Don’t know about you all but I’m nominating Ghost for a rewriting of history in the Middle East, probably with a healthy assist from the new media, that being the Badland’s version(s)!?! ---also, is their a Simpsons episode(Springfield, c’mon), or maybe a South Park one on pet eating, asking for a friend!?! ---God Bless!!!
Yep, I said it's a master class. Note how his detractors have disappeared.
Yes, yes, yes! Ghost, your audience awaits!
I have a very important disagreement that must be taken seriously! The Arab horse, while beautiful is definitely NOT the fastest race horse in the world.
“ Secretariat had Arabian blood through his sire Bold Ruler and his dam Somethingroyal”….
I would say Secretariat still reigns as the fastest race horse ever 🐎
Haha! Maybe some drops of Arab blood but mostly thoroughbred.
How was the “thoroughbred” created?
Arabian horses are an historical part of the breeding equation of “thoroughbreds”
Sorry Gary…just having fun here…I LOVE Secretariat 🐎❤️
Horses are another of God’s great gifts to mankind!
I know you’re having fun, and that’s wonderful. I like this kind of friendly banter and I too love Secretariat. My family has been involved in horses since I was a kid. When I was around 10 years old my dad bought some thoroughbreds with a friend of his. This was in Canada in the early 1950s. Dad used to take me to the races to see how his horses would do. I have a love of horse racing still.
From here on I will defer to your greater knowledge on the subject!
What a wonderful memory, the horse races with your Dad❤️
Marvelous, Gary!!
Thanks Dick! 😊😊😊
Something gave Secretariat an edge over all other thoroughbreds
😉❤️
Nice argument but: All thoroughbreds have Arab blood. It’s in the original breeding: Arab stallions - English riding horse mares. After that you have two separate breeds - Arabs and thoroughbreds. So saying the Arab is the fastest breed is still incorrect. What made Secretariat the fastest horse was the English riding horse blood he had. 😁😁😁
Who made him the fastest? That would be God - insert heart/big smile here

And the Lord Jesus made them all! Horse washing scene in movie Secretariat - "Oh Happy Day, when Jesus washed our sins away"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b9y1t9r9IKo
💌💌💌Love this!!
Thanks ya'll. This was fun - God Bless our differences!
They are fast, but not the fastest. 😀
Exactly! For example: the verage clocked speed of Arabs is about 40 miles an hour. A quarter horse 55 miles per hour, thoroughbreds about 45 mph.
Your mileage may differ
One of the great loves of my life was a was a quarter horse…Thanks for horse info and chats, Gary!!
You’re very welcome. Thanks for making things lively.
Best thread ever!!

Just Joy.

Regarding the Middle East, this is also an important play: https://www.newvision.co.ug/category/business/uae-promises-more-market-for-east-africas-gol-NV_195148

Within a few days later FBI said Luft was an arms dealer etc and a criminal. Same way they denigrated Shokin in Ukraine when he came forward of the Biden's corruption (think Burisma). I feel it was a giant coverup to keep the major players safe & still to this day to keep the grift going. This is why Hunter pled guilty to keep all the dirt from becoming even more public.
I have been asking since the 1950’s, where did all of the mafia go? They used to control gambling everywhere. Now gambling is just another regulated big business.
The whole concept of a casino is to pick the pockets of the gambler slowly while providing enough entertainment to keep them gambling.
What I ultimately figured out is the key is the reverse of compound interest. The casino makes a profit and generates compound growth for itself as a business. But, it’s survival requires that the gamblers suffer an equal compounded loss. It is really quite simple if we just think about it.
So, we now know where the mafia syndicate went. They went where the bigger money was located. Look at how the government has grown by picking our pockets. And, when we cannot provide enough in tax revenue, they grow by putting the losses onto a credit card issued by the Federal Reserve. Folks, this is not hard to figure out if we look at it logically.
My question is, if this is as simple as I just explained, why are we letting this continue? We do not need Trump to save America. We just need to save ourselves with some rational thought.
We need Trump to help. You and I may know this as individuals, but until a true leader steps up to broadcast it to the normies, using Kackala and Biden as foils, people just wont break out of the comfort zone. At least, I'm praying 🙏 Trump is that leader. God is good, and will win 🙏🙏🙏
You are correct. We the People need to influence everyone possible to understand the truth. I try to help direct clear thinking and I hope anyone here will feel free to cut and paste any of my thoughts into messages to folks who need our help.
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you.
Where are the other influential voices to speak the truth to us? Trump is the only one I know of that has taken everything the machine has thrown at him and is still standing. The endless persecution, lawfare, censoring, deplatforming and even an attempted assassination. Others like Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Rudy Guliani, Jeff Clark, Peter Navarro, John Eastman have lost law licenses, bankrupted & some given prision time. Trump will not be with us forever and I for one am listening to other truth tellers John Radcliffe, Tom Cotton, Ron Paul. Ted Cruz etc. But today I stand with Trump/Vance 2024, donate what I can, meet with like minded people and expand truth to others.
You are correct. Capitalism versus Communism is the question, but the answer is so damned simple it bothers me to point it out.
Capitalism is based on the profit motive and free enterprise. Adam Smith wrote about this extensively in 1776. He understood and the founding fathers based America on this foundation.
Our government has been stolen by Communists. Communism is based on exactly the opposite premise as Capitalism. It is based on the opposite of profit and that is loss. Look how much our government loses every year by design. They borrow more than they take from us to build even more debt by their choices. Can anyone argue against my facts?
The Federal Reserve is the credit card for our government and they have no control over what is spent. That is not their job, by design. I hope this makes sense because it is why we are in trouble. As long as we elect Democrats and RINOs we are going to continue failing until we totally collapse as a nation. I hope we can educate enough of us fast enough to stop the steal of our country.
Our government is a losing proposition. The best we can hope for is to break even yearly. Debt is not an option except in a dire emergency and then we tighten our belt and pay off that debt. We used to think that way, but socialism sells better that frugality. See? This isn’t hard at all.
Perhaps off-topic — or maybe not— Have you ever read the story about when David Crockett met Horatio Bunce?
If you have, enjoy again!

Thank you! Every person serving in our Congress should read that story! It is perfect because it shows precisely the crazy logic that is driving Washington today.
I know. Spread it around. Bunce was admired because his uncommon common sense is universally appealing and unimpeachable.
We seem to have lost it, but when we meet it, as did an honest Crockett, it cleans up our sullied thinking, restoring it like vinegar does old cat urine-stained floors.
So glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed revisiting it.
All the best
Oh Ghost! You’ve done it again! Your running, living history lessons all saved in notes. …Growing large now — better write the book, young Patrick Henry-footstep-walker!

“The Christian nation of Russia and the Hindu nation of India are in a deep alliance with the Muslims of both Arabia and Persia. What an epic sight to behold.” ! !
EPIC indeed!! That we here could come in peace to know and love our neighbors, as Christ commanded.
How epic will that day be?
