  143.  @shirleybiggers10  We are always shouting for transparency, directness and honesty from our elected officials. That is exactly what the world got with President Trump. He said it as it is. Those who were exposed threw ridicule, slander, libel, epithets, lies, sedition & bullying his way. The uninformed or extreme-left parroted the slew of ridicule from a deeply troubling, corrupt media. How ironic that pretty well everything President Trump said is turning out to be entirely accurate. Everything the left threw at him, turning out to be conspiracy theory and outright lies. How ironic that Obama, a master of eloquent speech, turned out to head the most corrupt administration in US history. President Trump, with his business acumen, delivered the best economy in the US EVER for all groups (African Americans, Black Youth, Hispanics, White Westerners, and Women (for women the best in 75 years). He increased manufacturing, jobs (the lowest unemployment rates for all those groups), Faught tooth-and-nail to end exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down, destroys jobs, decimates cities, with pushback from Democrats at every turn. They, along with their colluding CEOs want the status quo: cheap labor to fill their already bulging bank accounts. He dramatically reduced taxes and eliminated needless, wasteful bureaucratic regulations, giving business a huge boost and filling consumers' pockets with their own hard-earned money. I could go on and on about President Trump's successes, his honesty and courage, the details of the plot against him; however, it won't be necessary. Intelligent people who supported Biden for whatever misguided reason are WAKING UP. Dysfunctional democracy always turns to smack uninformed voters.

  148. PJW, I think your lead heading is not fair. I don't think Obama was whining about white privilege in the derogatory way that phrase is now used. Rather, he was bemoaning the inability of Kenyans to be proactively self-sufficient, confident and proud. Of course in 1990, when this film was made, whites were probably served first in hotels, because they were perceived as tourists or guest government workers (with more tip money) than blacks, albeit the practice of serving whites first is not a practice to be admired. I was once an Obama supporter. His book, "Dreams From My Father," was a motivator. He described this trip in that book. One has to give him kudos for his engagement with his estranged paternal family. They were living in poor circumstances very foreign to Obama. His father was a father in name only, otherwise absent. His father was also a drunk, whom I believe lost his job and was subsequently killed in a car crash as a result. I am not sure that, under the same circumstances, I would have been able to be so engaging and charming. My support of Obama was a lesson learned. I didn't do enough research about him. I believed his narratives. Even, with great discomfort, wrote some articles supporting some of his positions -- with great discomfort because deep down I did not agree. A lesson for people to really know the facts and truth about their politicians and to treat their own beliefs with great integrity.. When I watch this video, despite being a true Trump supporter and conservative, I come away with a sadness that Obama's presidency turned out to be the most corrupt in U.S. political history.

  222. Of course Mariupol is the headquarters of the Azov Militia that has been shelling the Russians in the Donbass. One of the main reasons for Putin's invasion: to defeat the Azov Militia to stop the shelling. So far the Azov Militia (with help from the Ukrainian Army) has killed over 14,000 Russian men, women and children in the Donbass. So is the attack of this city so wrong? I don't think so. As you see, the civilians are leaving. One of the war tactics of the Russian Army is to create humanitarian corridors for civilians to leave (that's why the invasion is called a slow invasion. It takes time to set up those corridors). Unfortunately, the Azov Militia has been setting itself up in civilian areas to use the civilians as shields. In some cases, they don't allow the civilians to leave, which results in human collateral damage - the same tactic used by Is. terrorists in Syria. That is very wrong/evil. Ukrainians who have managed to flee out of Ukraine have confirmed that this is what the Azov Militia has been doing. The Azov Militia is a mercenary militia entrenched in Ukraine, managed and funded by corrupt oligarchs. It is an extreme-right, white supremacist militia, self-described as n.a.**z. is. When Putin talks about denazification of Ukraine, he's not talking about Ukrainians, but about this threatening militia and its overlords. War is awful, human life, our most precious possession. This war could have been avoided. Putin's demands are extremely reasonable: Neutral Ukraine (no US/NATO, no Azov Militia, both threatening Russia). Denazification & demilitarization of Ukraine (Azov Militia and its corrupt overlords; US infiltration of NATO on Russia's border - the other day a top NATO official admitted NATO in Ukraine is a mistake). Recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbass as independent republics (They are Russians. They don't want to live in Ukraine, especially after the Ukrainian Government's official discrimination against Russians, and after Ukraine have been shelling and slaughtering them.) Recognition of Crimea as Russian. (Russia didn't annex Crimea as is reported in the West. It has always been Russian. In 1954 the USSR transferred management of Crimea to Ukraine SSR (remember they were one soviet republic at the time). They didn't swap the Russian population for a UKrainian population, just the administration. In 2014 Crimea voted overwhelmingly (98%) to be with Russia. This war is Biden's war against Russia, using Ukraine as a proxy. Shredding Russia and Russians with financial and economic sanctions couldn't be more evil. Triggering a mortal invasion of Ukraine to gaslight Russia is treachery of the worst kind. After each Biden threat, Putin and Lavrov called for diplomacy. Shame on all the neocons in the US. Shame on their evil propaganda against Russians, sending uninformed people into a frothing frenzy of unacceptable treachery and hatred.

  286. Yes, the man dressed in a blue dress and red high-heeled shoes, hanging on an E wall. He goes free, despite all those rides on the Lolita Express and is even putting in a word recently for his corrupt wife. We have seen one photo of Andrew with his accuser who looks beyond the age of majority and pretty happy too -- a photo taken twenty years ago, I believe, in some night club. That is hardly evidence of sexual misconduct. His accuser had a middle-class upbringing, affording her the ability to make decisions for herself at the age of 17 -- apparently her age at the time. Interesting how juvenile criminals are often tried as adults, but when it comes to female accusers close to the age of majority, they are considered to be children. I, frankly put no faith in this woman. I have seen too many women wrongly accuse men. Apparently she has already bagged $500,000 in relation to this case, plus large additional amounts as she plugs her story. She appears to be a deep pockets chaser. Was Andrew unwise to have befriended E? Yes. He has already admitted that. Did others associate with E? Yes, many high-powered individuals -- some for sex, some not -- even Stephen Hawking. Society has lost all perspective. This case is front and centre because of the potential for money. Meanwhile, the lowest of the low pimps prowl the streets checking on their sexual victims, who come from lower-class homes, don't have the background to make wise decisions, and are most often addicted to drugs. These greasy pumps walk free, as do the vile gang members who traffick pre-teen children to sell into the sex trade. But, hey, less get the prince. Shame on the state of justice today.

  291.  n52nimbus  - Your comments are astounding, so ill-informed. You say, "We have a president who does not understand our system of government."?! Do you understand how absurd that comment is? Give just one example of his picking and choosing from the constitution; one example of his not respecting the U.S. system of government. The American system of government is founded on democracy. He won the presidency. Underlying that system of government is the expectation of respect for the office of president. For the first time in U.S. history, there has been an attempted coup against the U.S. government (by no other than career liberal bureaucrats who figured their choice should stand no matter who the American people elected). Not only shocking that, in a long-term and respected democracy, such a coup could have been attempted, but also the most serious crisis in U.S. history. And don't forget for one second that the evidence against these traitors is overwhelming! Didn't know that? Then I suggest you start doing what it takes to find out what is actually going on in the world, because it is very important to know, for the sake of your future. If you glean your information from the mainstream media, such as CNN and MSNBC, you will never know or understand what is actually going on. Not to know the details about the attempted coup, to discount them, support them, or sit back and pretend it didn't happen is seriously dangerous for you and your family. "To refuse the obligations of international leadership..." What on earth does that mean? International leadership: The people of France are crying out in the streets, "We want Trump." President Trump had the courage to vehemently oppose the outrageous policies and statements of Macron, who will most likely have to resign for his disrespect for his country and its people. Maybe you are speaking about pulling out from the Paris Agreement on Global Warming. Have you ever read that accord? At least a summary of that accord? My guess is that your answer is, "No." If you don't know what is involved in the accord, how can you possibly be for it? Here are some main reasons why he pulled out. The accord has language that would result in unelected foreign committees having authority in the U.S. The accord amounted to a handout of billions of U.S. tax dollars being paid to under-developed countries whose record for appalling environmental activity is monumental and whose record of aid money being siphoned into pockets of their corrupt leaders is also monumental. The obligations of the U.S. under such an accord was a gift that would keep on giving, while they keep on polluting. Major polluters, such as India and China, were not under the same restrictions under the accord. As the world is a small finite planet, that means, any action on one side of the world deeply affects the other side of the world, so if one side is allowed to carry on global-warming activities, then any restrictions on the other side are useless. And here's the piece de resistance about that deeply flawed accord: The global temperature has not been rising for many years. Environmentalists refer to this as the "PAUSE." Of course, you won't hear about this in the media. It would put a dent in their agendas. You have to seek out the Nobel Prize winners in physics who are discounting the notion. Global Warming has become a deeply entrenched pseudo-scientific issue, perpetuated by those in that spurious industry and politicians who enjoy exploiting and bamboozling the ignorant for votes. Could it be that you are talking about President Trump's goal to create fair trade agreements and his tough stance against President Xi Jinping of China? The U.S. has had a massive trade deficit for decades. Do you have any idea about the economic consequences of that? Job loss, low wages, lost manufacturing, lower GDP, and trillions of U.S. dollars floating around the world unable to be repatriated to the U.S. because of high taxes, until President Trump came around to greatly reduce taxes. By the way, President Xi and President Trump may have disagreements about trade (albeit it Xi has now made commitments towards fair trade as a result of President Trump's actions), but they greatly respect each other personally. He was very impressed that Ivanka's children speak Mandarin. Do you speak any foreign language in your commitment to globalism? Liberals screamed and whined about President Trump's vow to end NAFTA. That agreement was initiated by Bill Clinton, and is the single most important cause of the decimation of manufacturing, job loss and low wages. President Trump has now signed a much, much better and more up-to-date agreement with Canada and Mexico, after much whimpering and crying from the Canadian "leader," Trudeau, the drama-teacher, without an iota of education in economics, finance, business or investments. Will continue on another response, as this one is getting long.

  309.  n52nimbus  Lesson for you. In work and careers, it is results that count; not hard work. I was once an Obama supporter. Huge mistake. He certainly has some good qualities. He's eloquent, an excellent writer, a family man but has had difficulties in his marriage. That's about it. Dabbled in drugs. Went to a third-rate college before Columbia and Harvard. Was a failed community organizer. Pretended to be a centrist, but is actually a globalist and leftist. His legacy is Obamacare, a serious failure. His foreign policy and pick of Hillary Clinton were disasters. The piece de resistance when it comes to Obama, his mentors who supported him through to the presidency, something that has been deliberately hidden. As you research the attempted coup, check his mentors out. If you pride yourself as an American, that story will send chills down your spine. Didn't understand economics or finance. Trump: not eloquent but straight to the point. Understands economics, finance, business and investments, essential for a successful president. Graduated from a top military academy. Graduated from one of the top business schools in the world. Expanded a multi-million-dollar local development business into a multi-billion-dollar international conglomerate. As an outlier, beat sixteen candidates to become president. Has delivered the best economy, particularly for women, Hispanics, African Americans and youth, ever -- a direct result of his pro-business and tax reducing platform. Highly successful foreign policy. On the verge of creating peace on the Korean Peninsular. Got Xi to agree to initiate changes for fair trade. Ended the disastrous Clinton NAFTA that has been directly responsible for massive American job loss and downward pressure on wages. Adamantly against exploitive outsourcing and insourcing for cheap labor (reason CEOs are against him). I could go on and on. There was a time when I would say Obama was a lousy president but a nice man. His shadow government and campaigning against President Trump (against the expectation for American former presidents to leave and behave with decency and diplomacy has thrown any notion of his being a decent person out the window. Unfortunately the democrats have turned far left, with socialism, open borders, sanctuary cities, globalism, flawed global warming, massive government spending, higher taxes, irrational and hugely irresponsible hatred for Trump, support of, or silence about, an attempted coup, calls to violence against Conservatives, silencing conservative opinions, massive inward migration, dumbed-down liberal schools, colleges and universities, etc. on their agenda. If they win, that will be the end of America.

  384. @RobynFu - Firstly, shame on the interviewer for dragging general and identity politics into the interview. Secondly, I expect you have fallen in the eyes of others with your comment. To assume that Svetlana Zakharova might be clueless is absurd. That is what you have done. You didn't even wonder if she is clueless. You implied that she is. Your words: "It can't merely be absolute cluelessness...." That implies that her thoughts involve more than just being clueless. How old are you, Robyn? You look very young. Far too young to have gained the wisdom and world experience that Svetlana Zakharova has gained in her position. Young enough that you most likely have had the misfortune of attending dumbed-down schools/universities of today. Did you take Russian history? How about Ukrainian history? Ever heard of Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn? Know about the Gulag? What do you know about the demographics of Ukraine -- the proportion of Russians in different parts of Ukraine? The percentage of Russians in Crimea and their wishes? What do you know about the recent situation in Ukraine? The corruption? The Maidan Coup (initiated by the Obama Administration), Ukrainian corruption around the transportation of Russian gas? U.S. Obama interference in Ukraine politics and its push for Ukraine to join the EU, versus develop a commercial/trade relationship with Russia? Do you even have a clue what the conflict between Ukraine and Russia is all about? Do you know why the Democrats in the U.S. have been pushing a baseless "hate Russia" agenda? Svetlana Zakharova is a former member of the Russian Parliament. Clueless she is not. Dancers of her calibre are extremely intelligent. They can't reach that level without high intelligence. Her position (career and marriage) has allowed her to meet the top people all over the world. She is thousands of times more likely to be aware of world situations than you are. "Heartless woman." Are you kidding us? We have recently witnessed a string of men falsely accused of sexual harassment, with the Me-Too movement crying that the women should be believed and be anonymous, while the wrongly accused men are dragged through the courts, publicly named and financially ruined. The actions of the Me-Too Movement against Brett Kavanaugh (for example) were shameful and vile. Svetlana Zakharova gave a correct and honest answer, and she did it with discretion, diplomacy and common sense. Do you know what the word, "integrity" means? It appears not. A person with integrity is true to his/her principles and standards. A thief could have great integrity towards his profession. She has "imperially fallen to corruption." Shame on you for coming up with such nonsense. Shame on you for accusing and passing judgement on someone whom you you have never met and know nothing about, other than to enjoy her impeccable talent, but to toss that out in a hypocritical string of uninformed assumptions, based on misguided feminism, identity politics, political correctness, naivete and a glaring lack of experience, knowledge and wisdom.

  414.  @geoh7777  You are most decidedly not an expert. In fact spreading your misinformation is totally irresponsible. The ignorance one finds on the internet is frankly astounding. The USSR collapsed completely. No exaggeration. Russia is now a capitalist country. Putin is not a lifelong president. Guess you missed the amendments to the Russian constitution approximately a year and half ago (don't remember the exact date). Putin is the first to promote the changes in Russia. He belonged to the KGB, just as individuals in the US belong to the CIA. Hammer and sickle, the mark of the USSR, is no longer used in the Victory Day Parade or anywhere else. Still remains in some former USSR countries on Soviet ruins. Stalin purged most of the Soviet top officers, sent them to the Gulag, where most perished. Of course, they venerate Soviet top officers who are still alive. They fought in WW2, during which the USSR lost approximately 27 million people in a long, extremely bitter war against Germany. They were, in case you don't know, allies of the UK and the U.S. Lenin's tomb is retained, because it is part of Russia's history. Unlike the West these days, they have the maturity to view it in the context of a significant part of Russian history, not the present. I can assure you that modern Russian bomber aircraft are nothing like the Soviet bombers. There were reports about the Russian military jets flying close to US airspace. Not sure if they are true or not. If the stories were featured on CNN et al, they are probably not true. Nevertheless, if they are not in US airspace, they have every right to be there. Frankly, the US is lucky that Russia/Putin have been so calm about the threats from the US. (1) US interference in Ukraine (Maidan Coup) against Russia. (2) US accusations re Trump/Russia collusion -- complete fabrication originated by Hillary Clinton. (3) US interference in Crimean vote in favor of Russian administration. (4) US sanctions against Russia in connection with lies about Russian hacking of DNC (admitted a lie by Crowdstrike). (5) False narrative about Trump having nefarious communications with the Alfa Bank. Now completely debunked through European court case and other evidence. (6) Attempted interference in Russia Nord Stream pipeline to Europe. I suggest you read "The Gulag Archipelago." Start learning about Soviet Russia/USSR. Moscow and Saint Petersburg are two of the most beautiful cities in the world, filled with incredible architecture, art, music, dance, theatre and literature. People are free and can travel and work anywhere (unlike during the USSR). Private enterprise and business are the engines of the Russian economy. Putin is incredibly popular, because he's smart, extremely well informed, empathetic, loves Russia, and creates policy for the benefit of the people. Most importantly, he has created stability, so people support and vote for him.

  471.  @abbottshaull9831  You are wrong. Three main reasons for the SMO: (1) To end the Ukrainian Azov eight-year genocide against Donbass Russian civilians (over 14,000 Russian men, women and children killed to date). Putin consistently asked for diplomacy to stop the genocide that spilled out of the US bloody Maidan Coup. The Minsk Agreement (Ukraine a main signatory, Russia a witness, and France and Germany guarantors) brought peace and independent status for Donbass. Corrupt Ukrainian officials, including Zelensky when he became president, and US officials, refused to honor the agreement. The genocide continued. The guarantors, France and Germany, did not protest the broken agreement. Putin continued to ask for diplomacy to end the genocide. (2) After Biden entered the White House, after a lull in US interference in Ukraine during the Trump Administration, war-mongrel, Victoria Nuland, was back in Ukraine, interfering and threatening Russia. With Biden backing, Ukraine amassed an even larger military presence at the Donbass border, with the intention of invading to wipe away the Russian issue in Donbass. As Biden's and the West's threats against Russia escalated, Putin and Lavrov again responded with calls for diplomacy. Biden/Ukraine/West refused. To cut a long story short, Putin had no other option but to form his SMO to unilaterally end the genocide. Free, democratic countries admire leaders who take action against genocide. In this instance, the US/Ukraine/UK/EU/West encouraged and sided with the genocide and supported the Nazi regiments infiltrated within the Ukrainian military. (3) In 1962 the world was on the brink of nuclear war, when the US/Kennedy challenged the USSR to remove its missiles in Cuba on America's doorstep. The US won. It would not and will not tolerate foreign, aggressive military facilities and equipment in its neighborhood. NATO is no longer just a defensive force. It is now very much an offensive force, so why on earth should Putin agree to an offensive US/NATO presence on his border with Ukraine with a history of military aggression against Russia and Ukrainian Russians?

  637.  @stephjezo6470  In the past vaccines have always protected from disease. The message for the CoVid vaccines changed from prevention to lessen, as it was discovered they didn't quite work as planned. If the vaccines worked the way they are supposed to work, those who are vaccinated would not be at risk no matter what they touched or with whom they came in contact. A website called "Informed Consent Action Network" sounds extremely suspicious. I would check the politics and agendas of the sources. Vaccines normally include disabled viral material that is injected into a small area that triggers immunity. The AstraZeneca vaccine works that way but has a high enough side effect of blood clotting that some countries won't use it. Pfizer and Moderna don't work the way vaccines usually work. They promote our own cells to grow the viral spike proteins to promote an immune response. They also have a record of side effects - cardiac issues. Frankly, no one knows the long-term risks of such a process. Does your website go into the mechanism of the various vaccines? People are flocking to be vaccinated. The vaccines don't prevent disease. They don't stop contagious spread. An alarming number of people have died of CoVid-19 after being vaccinated. There is no data on potential long-term consequences of growing viral spike proteins. CoVid-19 is mild and flu-like for most people, even asymptomatic for many. If a person knows all the issues and chooses to be vaccinated, that is fine; however, given the provisos, forcing people to be vaccinated and herding the unvaccinated into a ghettoed life is just plain wrong and highly unethical.

  673.  @doctormorbius6430  What an incredibly ignorant comment. Before I start, an aside. The loss of professional journalism is one of the most serious crises we face today. Without professional, factual journalism, there can be no functional democracy. Why do you think many CEO's would not support Trump, despite Trump's pro-business platform, elimination of unnecessary bureaucratic regulations, and tax cuts? Because Trump is adamantly against the exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down, destroys jobs for Americans, decimates manufacturing and destroys cities. The CEO's want the status quo of low wages and cheap labor to maximize profits to fill their bulging bank accounts on the backs of low-paid workers. As the mainstream media that has thrown professional journalism out the window to ply their political agendas never reported on this, the mostly uninformed people who watch these corrupt media outlets thought Biden was the man for working people. They still have no idea how wrong they are. And that brings us to the eerily similar tactics used to elevate the Nazis to power in Germany, the Communists to power in Eastern Europe and the Democrats to power in the U.S. The tactics all come under the heading of "totalitarianism." They include the following, every single one of the examples of which has been used or suggested by 2020/21 Democrats: censorship; silencing opponents; corrupt media working with a corrupt political party (in this case the Democrats); vile goebbelsian propaganda in the place of news (CNN, MSNBC et al); approved news outlets, while those with opposing news are silenced or struck out of business; banishing free speech on campuses; indoctrination of students in schools and universities; removal of books from libraries, schools and universities; rioting; burning books; smashing into private stores and looting; occupying; attempted coups (putsches in your words) - Russia/Trump false accusations fabricated by Hillary Clinton who also funded the false dossier to back her lies, then spread for almost four years as fact by corrupt media; falsely arresting and/or charging opponents (General Flynn); spying on innocent individuals (Carter Page / George Papadopoulos); enemies lists; re-education camps for opponents; cooperation of big business with the totalitarian seditionists; staging insurrection as an excuse to oust opponents and set up draconian measures to "protect" the totalitarian interlopers; fraudulent elections; unelected frontmen. I could go on; however, if you are intelligent, you should get the picture. Every single tactic has been used by the Democrats and can be proven. After WW2 an aghast world asked how the Germans allowed such corrupt individuals to rise to power. Don't let yourself be one of the people to whom that question will be asked, as this new totalitarian, fascist Biden Regime plunders and destroys America.

  693. I don't have a clue who Gavin McInnes is, but shame on him for thinking Hillary Clinton is a wonderful person. That sort of thinking is leading society down a crooked and dark path. Let me remind him that Hillary Clinton has been up to her ears in scandal for years, starting with her being fired by a democrat when she was working on the Watergate Investigative Committee. He fired her for, in his own words, being "a dishonest, unethical lawyer and a liar." As she was practicing law at the time, that firing should have been the end of any public career for her. What had she done? During discovery when it came time to exchange information with the opposite side, she stole relevant information and hid it in her home, so the other side would not see it. For years, Hillary Clinton has been an enabler of a serial sexual abuser, even setting up war rooms, apparently with the aid of her smear merchant, Sidney Blumenthal, to strategize how to demean, and in some cases have investigated, her husband's victims, calling them "Bimbo Eruptions," along the way. Accordingly, anyone who supports her, including this guy Gavin McInnes who apparently thinks she's wonderful, has forever lost any credibility in protesting against sexual abuse. Topping Hillary Clinton's scandals, she set up a private server, over which classified information was transmitted (felony); she lied to congress about her server, emails and Benghazi (felonies); she tampered with and destroyed subpoenaed evidence (felony); she used a supposed charitable foundation as a personal slush fund and pay-for-play facility (felonies); she bought and paid for a phoney "Russian" dossier filled with lies about Donald Trump (felony), which dossier was illegally used to obtain warrants to spy on Donald Trump to find dirt to bring him down, while she started spreading the false narrative that Donald Trump was colluding with Russians to influence the election. And this man says he has nothing against her that she is a lovely woman. That in a nutshell is why society is going to hell in a handbasket.

  699.  @johncover2467  Those who take time to listen to Trump know he is not a liar. He is so direct and straightforward, I believe he's incapable of lying. He may not be eloquent like Obama, but Obama's administration turned out to be the most corrupt in US history. Just weigh what you have written. You have accused someone whom you know nothing about or how they lead their lives or what principles they go by, of being systemically ignorant. In order for something to be systemic, it has to be deep seated and continuous. So you have no idea if the person is ignorant, let alone if that claimed ignorance on your part is systemic. Now about lies. Give us one proven lie from Trump. And don't confuse unattained policies or goals as lies. Be careful, because you will be debating someone who follows politics very closely and takes time to find the facts. Hillary Clinton concocted a lie about Trump/Russia collusion to detract from her email scandal. She then paid for a false dossier filled with libel against Trump to back up her lies. That false dossier was used by Democrat politicians and civil servants to defraud the FISA court to illegally obtain warrants to spy on innocent Americans in a hope of sucking out information to get Trump. The media colluded with these seditious players and spread these lies for four years. The same false dossier was used to mount an investigation against Trump, when the investigators and FBI knew it was false and in fact their own fabrication. Now that is sick and systemic. Continued for four years. and the lies from the media and Democrats continue today. Unfortunately, the political activists in the corrupt media rely on misinformed people to believe and spread their lies. Astounded by the unsubstantiated anti-Trump rhetoric, I have questioned anti-Trumpers. I have discovered, without exception, they know nothing about Trump, knew nothing about his platform, his initiatives or his successes. They simply threw at me that he is a racist, misogynist, and liar -- all totally unsubstantiated epithets thrown out by a disgraceful, goebbelsian media. You should be outraged at being so exploited.

  700.  @samallen5213  Archie will only be on the balcony for family royal events. Sorry to disappoint you. Some advice: Never make assumptions about others. They are always wrong. You have no idea how great my life is. Frankly, in my view. Autumn is a far better royal than Meghan, whatever Meghan's position in the pecking order. This third-tier TV actress thought it was a good idea to defame, without reason, intelligence, or substance, President Trump. I don't admire anyone who does that to anyone, let alone this man who has done so much for her country and her ethnic group. One of the required duties of British royal family members in return for the enormous privilege the British allow them is to be apolitical. Even though she appeared in that video before marriage, she has forever marred that apolitical requirement, let alone advertise her true character and lacking in diplomacy and intelligence. It has already caused difficulties in that the video was brought to President Trump's attention before his state visit to Britain. By the way President Trump has made an extremely generous trade offer to Britain to ensure its success after it leaves the EU. In addition, this woman interfered in Irish politics after she expressed her views about abortion in Ireland. No matter what her thoughts about it, as a royal she must publicly remain neutral. Such faux pas, in Britain, where a large portion of the population already wants to live in a republic, could potentially bring the British Royal Family down.

  708. These dancers owe their careers to Russia! Why did they flee? Dancers so focused on dance, they didn't know anything about the Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians, or the history, events and players leading up to current hostilities? The genocide was one of the top reasons for Russia's SMO, after Biden, Ukraine and the West refused Putin's relentless calls for diplomacy to end the genocide and US/NATO aggression at Russia's border. Or did they flee because the West ended travel to and from Russia? After Moscow's first bombs rained down on Ukraine?!!! Russia's goal was to defeat the Ukrainian military at the Donbass border. No Russian "bombs" rained down on any civilian areas. Ukrainian "bombs" did and continue to do so. Since the MI6-instigated, terrorist suicide bombing on the Kerch Bridge, Russia has hit Ukrainian infrastructure and electrical grids beyond the Eastern conflict. Putin's War? Shortly after Biden entered the WH, he started threatening Russia and calling Putin "evil." Day after day, informing Americans and the World that Putin would invade Ukraine at such and such a time...the time moving each day. As he goaded and threatened, he was backing a huge additional Ukrainian military build-up at the Donbass border, in addition to the Ukrainian Azov Military already shelling Russian civilians since the US-initiated Maidan Coup in 2014. By the start of 2021 over 14,000 Donbass Russian men, women and children had been killed in that Ukrainian genocide. It continues today. Just in the last few days, reports from independent reporters on the frontlines have shown, live on video, civilian schools and hospitals hit by the Ukrainian military targeting civilian areas in the Kherson area. Liz Truss (now ousted British PM), as foreign secretary, declared war on Russia BEFORE the SMO. She threatened that Britain would target any individual in the Kremlin who had anything to do with the continuation of Russia, a reckless, dangerous declaration of war for never-declared reasons. There are no valid reasons. There are many deeply unethical and corrupt reasons. Russia under Putin had never done anything to the UK, EU, US or West. After her abominable behavior towards Sergey Lavrov in Moscow, Putin recognized Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbass as independent states.* They asked Russia for help to end the genocide against them. Given the West/Ukraine refusal of diplomacy, Russia formed the Special Military Operation to end the genocide. The West chose to support the Ukrainian genocide, nazism, and deeply corrupt, bankrupt, oligarchy, the very same horrors against which millions perished fighting Germany in WW2. * The Minsk Agreement granted independent status to Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbass. Ukraine was a main signatory to the agreement, but corrupt Ukrainian officials, including Zelensky when he became president, refused to honor that agreement. The shelling against Donbass civilians continued. All these events played out on the internet for all to see and be informed. Astonishingly these dancers, who owe so much to Russia, now stage a "Reunion" Gala in the United States, the very country that manufactured the war against Russia (for no acceptable reason), using Ukrainian men to die as proxy fodder for its evil intentions, and deliberately imploding the EU in the process. This gala would more aptly be named "Gala of the Runaways." A reunion gala would be a reunion with the Russian dancers who opened their companies and hearts to them and greatly elevated their careers. I doubt they will ever be welcomed in Russia again.

Your statement hints that you may not have the wherewithal to read it, learn from it, and do some research to confirm the facts. It is uncanny how many Democrat comments are so ignorant, so uninformed, so uneducated, and not least so childishly dangerous; however, others will read my response, for it is vital in a functioning democracy that electorates be informed. One of the worst crises in the U.S. is massively failed education. Your comment is a great example of that failed education. Firstly, a well educated person would debate the topic with reason and intelligence, not throw out childish, but extremely dangerous epithets with no relevance or logic whatsoever to the situation. Secondly, to suggest that Trump is in the pay of Putin is absurd. Provide your evidence, or apologize. You will find no evidence, because your statement that Trump is in the pay of President Putin is flatly false. That statement indicates that you are one of the uninformed whom a corrupt media has shamefully exploited to spread its twisted political agenda, including lies about Trump/Russia collusion. Obama's FBI, DOJ, DOS, CIA and executive, including Obama and Biden, attempted a coup against President Trump, using as a foundation, a completely false story about Trump/Russia collusion. This false accusation has been thoroughly exposed as false, with mountains of actual evidence, yet you continue to spread it, either totally unaware that it has been exposed as false, or viciously attempting to spread it, knowing it is false. Either way, not pretty. We know that Biden and Obama were involved in the plot against President Trump, because they attended a meeting on Jan. 5, 2017, in the White House, during which they and other Democrat attendees plotted how to frame an innocent man, knowing he was innocent -- a side plot to the attempted coup. How do we know about that meeting? From their own notes that were subsequently released. Biden was extraordinarily proactive in the meeting. We don't know how active Obama was other than being in the meeting. At a minimum, as the president at the time, Obama should have put an end to the plot right then and there. Worse yet, Hillary Clinton fabricated the story about Trump/Russia collusion and spread it in an attempt to detract from her email scandal. How do we know? John Brennan, head of the CIA at the time, briefed Obama about her lies. That briefing has since been made public. Hillary Clinton also paid for a false dossier -- the Steele Dossier -- to back up her lies. The media ran with that false dossier, accusing Trump for almost four years, knowing it was false. How do we know Hillary Clinton paid for the false dossier? Her laundered funds were traced from the DNC, through her law firm, Perkins Coie, to her smear agents, Fusion GPs, who coordinated the dossier with Peter Steele. How do we know the dossier was false? The main source for the dossier, a suspected Russian spy who worked with many Democrats at the Brookings Institute, admitted it was totally false under questioning from the FBI and through court testimony in a European court.

  767.  @theciakilledjfk5973  You have hit the nail on the head. I think many liberals vote liberal today without understanding the 180-degree switch that has occurred. In fact, I know some of these people. They vote liberal, thinking Democrats & other Western liberal parties are still the parties for the people; that liberalism today is still classic liberalism. That is not the case. Liberalism today is a neoliberal, globalist, woke, socialist movement, something entirely different. Democrats are the party of the one percenters and big business, including oligarchs. Trump Republicans have become the party of and for the people. That is why he is so popular. As long as liberals are quiet and do not protest the corporate liberal media and its lies, then that media is speaking for them. Democrats are working hand-in-hand with big tech (the most powerful corporate media) to censor and silence conservatives. Why do you think CEOs would not, and still don't, support President Trump, despite his incredibly pro-business platform? Because he is adamantly against the exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down, destroys jobs, shatters manufacturing and decimates cities. The CEOs want the status quo and globalism to fill their already bulging bank accounts on the backs of cheap labor. This was a central issue under Trump's administration. Democrats fought him at every turn, and Biden has rolled back all the advances Trump made to address this issue that is also an essential part of so much of the mess today. The role of Democrat liberals today is to enlarge government and create a government-dependent populations with massive welfare and encroachment of government into corporate affairs (Biden's bills smack of that philosophy, his creation of $6 trillion in just 100 days on track to create economic chaos. His platform can be summed up as totalitarian fascism. Trump Republicans, on the other hand, believe in policies that lift those in low-income areas and create self-sufficiency for welfare recipients.

  773. Biden a smart politician?! Oh dear, you don't follow US politics closely enough. Biden has been one of the most no-results politicians throughout his career. He's a compulsive liar. Joe Biden a risky businessman?!! He's never run or owned a business in his life. Actually, just one criminal, racketeering business. He has been involved in foreign influence peddling, selling access to himself, using his drug-addicted son as his bagman. US a secure partner in this European trouble? Scholz, in charge for less than a year, has sold Germans down the river. The country most at risk from Biden's treachery against Russia is Germany. Scholz is centre left and beholden to extreme-left Greens. He had no guts to stand up against Biden's strong arming him to close off Nord Stream 2, built at the request of Angela Merkel to secure German business & production. Germany's manufacturing will come to a halt if Putin cuts off Russia's supply of LNG to Germany. Germany will collapse, and likely the whole EU. NATO (one of the central issues of this war) will likely collapse too. Biden's threats against Russia resulted in a new Russia-China Alliance. They refer to it as a "firm" alliance. In one stroke that alliance, courtesy of Biden, ended US geopolitical world dominance. The negative consequences of that to, not only the US, but also to US allies in Europe, are dire. Also loss of USPetro$s and US$ as the world's reserve currency, as Russia, China, Eurasia set up new trade relations and banking systems. The economic consequences of the new Eurasian Block and downward pressure on the US dollar are going to be dire and long-term for the US and its "partners" in Europe. But not so much for Russia and China. Russia will have short-term struggles but it will come out ahead with China. A new world order, with US strength greatly diminished and EU countries struggling to survive without natural resources and the US as a strong partner. Yves Christian, you need to start paying closer attention.

  842.  @pwhales264  So P. Whales, you think the following make the worst presidency in history: The best economy and jobs market for all ethnic groups in the U.S EVER, directly attributable to Trump's pro-business policies, tax cuts, elimination of useless bureaucratic regulations, the fight against exploitive outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that diminishes both wages and jobs. Huge increase in the manufacturing sector creating thousands of jobs and business opportunities. The battle against open borders and one-way immigration/migrant flows that ultimately have only one consequence: the economic and societal destruction of the country. One doesn't need more than school math to understand the consequences of continuous, extremely high NET immigration per year into a country. In the U.S. around 450,000 to 500,000 per year, not counting millions of illegals, that drain taxpayers' funds and rob essential programs and spending. The first president to have the guts to attack China's trade, currency and technology policies head on. Continuous trade deficits are extremely bad for a country. They weaken domestic industries and job opportunities. China has manipulated its currency for years to give itself massive trade benefits against the U.S. The fight against China's theft of U.S. technology. (You must think it is just fine for those who don't do the work to steal from those who do the work.) The battle against exploitive outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor for CEO's of large corporations to fill their money pockets on the backs of cheap labor. Exploitive outsourcing/insourcing not only exploits individuals, but also lowers wages and eliminates jobs. USMCA (US/Mexico/Canada Trade Agreement) held up in Congress by obfuscating Democrats, The new agreement is equally fair. while NAFTA decimated manufacturing and jobs and created huge trade deficits. Just a few examples. If there were space I could go on and on. What kind of a twisted mind do you have? Shocking how many leftists, after years of dumbed-down schooling can only manage nasty innuendos, without explanation or examples. If you think it is the worst presidency, then be a man and tell us why, cite your sources and provide evidence. Be prepared for arguments from those of us who actually follow and understand the real facts.

  847. @JRG2733 Outrageous comment. Do you even know the meaning of the word, "profane." Did you not watch his speech at the Prayer Breakfast? Or were your feelings hurt because President Trump rightly called two of the individuals who have viciously and baselessly attacked him over and over again -- Pelosi and Romney. For society to thrive and be decent, sedition must be called. President Trump has not once blamed the American people for "his criminal life" or the impeachment. Provide the evidence or apologize. Firstly, Trump has not led a criminal life; however, those who attempted a coup and impeachment, with no crime, are steeped in criminality. Many will be indicted. Your statement is nothing but a string of epithets, slander and defamation. If you don't like President Trump, then be specific and provide the evidence. One of the most troubling aspects of society today, led by a corrupt press and politicians, is the propensity to name call and lie about those whose policies the corruptors don't like. In such a society there can be no democracy and no justice, just anarchy and chaos Einstein once said that there is a lot of evil in the world, but more evil are those who do nothing about it. Not calling and exposing the attempted coup and baseless, illegal impeachment against the president is evil. In that regard those who mitigate, support, ignore, twist or deny what the Democrat politicians and seditious civil servants have done are also accountable; however, President Trump has never said that. He is known for always including the American people in his goals of making America great again. If you are not aware of that, then you have been blinded by the deeply destructive hatred perpetuated by Democrats and the press today, and you obviously have never listened to a word he says.

  892. ​@John Hoyle Either you are really stupid, John, and haven't comprehended what has happened over the last four years. Or you are highly misinformed and exploited by the corrupt mainstream media such CNN et al. If that is the case you should be outraged. Or you know exactly what has gone on but insist on continuing to push the lies anyway, which would cast a very nasty dark shadow over you. Hopefully, you will read my response; learn about the facts; and be outraged as any decent person is outraged. My response will take a few posts, as it will be long. If you skip reading it, others will read it. Knowing the facts is essential for the future of America. Russian Asset: During her presidential campaign Hillary Clinton floated a fabricated story about Trump/Russia collusion to detract from her email scandal. How do we know? John Brennan, head of the CIA at the time, briefed Obama about it. That briefing has been released to the public. To back up her lies, Hillary Clinton then paid for a false dossier, the Steele dossier, filled with ugly lies about Trump and Russia. How do we know? Her laundered funds were traced from the DNC (which she owned, financed and controlled) through her law firm, Perkins Coie, to her smear agents, Fusion GPS, who orchestrated the false dossier with an ex-British spy and hater of Donald Trump, Christopher Steele. How do we know the dossier was false? Steele's source, a suspected Russian spy, Igor Danchenko, who worked for the left-wing US think tank, the Brookings Institute, told us so when questioned by the FBI and through documents submitted to a European court. The FBI ran with the story, knowing it was false, fed the corrupt media and schemed for the Mueller Investigation to investigate, all knowing the story was false. It has since been proved without reservation that it was false and an attempted coup against President Trump. One culprit, an FBI lawyer at the time, has been charged. He pled guilty to altering information in an email that was submitted to the FISA court, along with the false dossier, to obtain warrants to spy on innocent Americans in an attempt to bring down President Trump. Unfortunately the many other coup plotters still walk free and likely, under Biden, will continue to walk free. Those who plot coups are insurrectionists, not the victims of the insurrectionists. Insurrectionist President Trump held a rally to demonstrate against a rigged election. Knowing a huge crowd would attend, he requested that the National Guard be present. Nancy Pelosi refused to grant the request. That information was released directly by President Trump. He urged (and you can find his speech) for his supporters to demonstrate peacefully. In turn, Nancy Pelosi requested that banks of machine guns be actively manned against President Trump's demonstrators. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed, and her request was denied. That request has been corroborated by more than one person. Meanwhile, a self-declared BLM insurrectionist named John Sullivan posted on SM a video of himself advising what clothes to wear and what equipment and weapons to take to invade the Capitol. He liaised with fellow anti-Trump insurrectionists on Twitter, without any objections from Jack Dorsey. Then he filmed and narrated the invasion from inside the Capitol, urging his supporters to go the full attack; that it was their opportunity. After the invasion, CNN and MSNBC interviewed him as a hero, prior to his arrest. He has now been charged. Not one of Trump's supporters took weapons into the Capitol. They simply marched through. Only one person was killed, and she was a Trump supporter, shot dead by a Capitol policeman whose name has not been released. Deaths of three other individuals were confirmed to be from natural causes. Meanwhile, marauding through US streets, were the real insurrectionists: The terrorist organization, ANTIFA and a cooperating organization, BLM, a self-declared Marxist organization intent on destroying Western civilization. They rioted, attacked, killed, smashed, burned, occupied and looted and continue to do so today, with very few being called to justice. Those are the insurrectionists, aided and abetted by Democrat state leaders who urged them on, did nothing to stop them, and do not insist on their facing justice now. During these BLM/ANTIFA riots, BLM thugs cornered David Dorn, an African American patriot, family man and former police captain. He was helping a friend to secure his shop amidst the riots. The BLM thugs shot David Dorn and posted their filthy deed on SM for all to see. David Dorn lay spread eagled on the pavement, blood gushing from his head, his phone still lit up in his outstretched hand. As he tried to bring the phone close to call for help death took him. Those who saw that video wept. The BLM thugs watched in a semi circle around him, without a move to help him. As they escaped the scene, CCTV cameras caught them. As a result two were arrested, but typical of the Democrat leaders, we have not heard any updates on those arrests. While this was happening, Nancy Pelosi and her cohorts donned in kente cloth, scarves with Ghanaian colors and prints, knelt in the Capitol Rotunda in honor of BLM. President Trump, as soon as he heard about it, phoned David Dorn's family to convey his deep sorrow and condolences. As an aside, Ghanaian people and journalists were outraged at Nancy Pelosi for using their designs and colors in honor of such evil. They took to Twitter to voice their outrage. Continued...

  964.  @johnsmith1474  Firstly, how old are you John? Remember Hillary Clinton's disastrous healthcare plan -- panned by all stakeholders! Secondly, John, what kind of parents did you have? What kind of schools did you go to? Why do I ask? Because those who are decently brought up don't resort to foul language also cloaked in extremely inappropriate innuendo. Now for intelligent, adult debate. Invoking any number of others' beliefs in big socialist programs, whether democratic or republican, in no way alters Hillary Clinton's belief in extremely large socialist programs. All this banter against the background of the U.S. having the largest socialist medical program in the world. Total medicare spending in 2018 - 15% of total federal spending - $731 billion. Trust fund projected to be depleted in 2026. Total medicaid, ACA and CHIP spending in 2018 - 11% of total federal spending - $629 billion. I reiterate, Hillary Clinton is about massive government spending. She has been all her life. Her mentor, Saul Alinsky, was a communist. She has written about her plans extensively for years. It Takes a Village -- a very telling title. Her plans for universal healthcare against a backdrop of serious financial problems in all government funded healthcare, with every single country that has "universal healthcare," except Canada and Cuba, having a very vibrant two-tier system. One would be very foolish to vote for or support Hillary Clinton in view of her big-government solutions, but to support her corruption and enabling of a serial sexual predator make support of her toxic and noxious.

  993. NATO was formed as a defensive force against the USSR. The USSR collapsed in 1991, so the mandate of NATO is null and void. It has become an illegal, aggressive, expansive, imperialistic force. How old are you Barbara? Remember the fear on the brink of nuclear war in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis? The US, under John Kennedy, would not tolerate (at the risk of nuclear war) a USSR military site in Cuba, so close to the US border. Why then, should Russia tolerate a NATO base and documented/filmed US/NATO aggression at its border? Perhaps you can tell us what right the US has to be in Ukraine? The US invaded Ukraine and initiated the bloody Maidan Coup in 2014 to oust a duly elected Ukrainian president, because he favored friendly trade relations with Russia. He chose Russia, rather than the EU, after he read the EU-sided restrictive fine print in the EU trade agreements. US civil servant, Victoria Nuland, and US ambassador, Geoffrey Pyatt, were recorded plotting whom they were going to put into important Ukrainian government positions. The recording was leaked. It is still on the internet for you to listen. Please tell us why such US interference in Ukraine is acceptable. The real reason is to build a US/NATO base to strike at Russia. Russia, under Putin, had never - not once - threatened to invade or invaded any Western country that is now attacking it. The Russian-Ukrainians are most definitely not free to speak Russian in Ukraine. Another contributor to Russia's SMO was the Ukrainian government's official policy of apartheid against Russian-Ukrainians, including restrictions from speaking Russian.

  1046. President Trump's win was definitely not an upset in the view of the millions who actually followed him and familiarized themselves with his platform and who had been to, or watched, his highly successful rallies, where he explicitly laid out his principles, plans and reasons -- pure common sense -- while the fake mainstream liberal news ignored his rallies (other than to falsely claim they were poorly attended), lied about him, threw epithets his way, slandered and defamed him and his followers, all backed up by their "air-tight polls," showing a decisive and massive win for Hillary Clinton. So much for polls, designed and created to fit certain agendas. One of Hillary Clinton's last rallies was an Hispanic rally. She came out on a platform, waving and smiling, as she heard the crowd roar. Not until she had stood still for a moment or two did she realize they weren't cheering her; they were booing her, shouting that she was not welcome there. She turned and fled in fear. Not reported by the liberal mainstream media, of course. On the last night of the campaign, Hillary Clinton organized a big rally, bolstered by popular entertainers. Despite the entertainers, many seats were empty, and the venue closed down pretty early, as everyone headed home. Not accurately reflected in the mainstream media. On the last night of the campaign, at 2:00 a.m. live PST, over 100,000 attended Donald Trump's last rally (inside and outside the venue). On just one YT channel (the one I was watching) at that time in the morning, there were over 75,000 people watching! Not reported by the liberal mainstream media. We knew something amazing was going to happen the next day. No surprise or upset for those of us who were informed through the real, alternative media, and by tuning into Donald Trump's massively attended rallies, where he spoke directly to the people. No hearsay or opinions dressed up as news -- just information directly from the source.

  1047. Ouch. You have got the wrong end of the stick. Not sure that I can blame you, because the facts were never reported by the MSM. So here's what actually happened: Hillary Clinton, whose policy was full-on regime-change, fell for a ruse and supported and funded ISIS. At a book signing when asked why, she said they were "moderate rebels." Clinton's "moderate rebels" were nothing less than home-grown and insurgent Islamist extremists. Their ruse was to make out that they were ordinary citizens demonstrating against the conditions in Assad's prisons, where he had Islamic extremists safely locked up. Their intent was actually to round up support for their evil intentions. Their demonstration fell right into the hands of Hillary Clinton's/Obama's/Biden/s dangerous, regime-change policies. At a maximum, if the West thought it was their business and Assad's prisons needed to be overhauled, you don't start a civil war, you persuade through negotiation. (Interestingly, that they have never said anything about China's awful prisons.) The result of Hillary Clinton's assistance was chaos, unrest, civil war, ISIS in Syria, resulting in death and destruction for millions, spilling into Libya (again Hillary Clinton totally responsible for the collapse, death and destruction in that country). Decent, honorable policy would have been to support Assad against a vile and wicked extremist insurgency and civil war, Assad's Syria was one of the most liberal, open countries in the Middle East, accepting all religions, Damascus, a place on many travel lists. ISIS made huge gains against Syria and Assad, using the most vicious and depraved tactics against humanity ever seen. America headed a multi-national air coalition against ISIS and strangely against ISIS's victim, Assad. Their strategy was precision bombing, which as Paul Joseph Watson mentioned, caused untold local, precise damage, but had no effect on the war as a whole. It later came out that the organization checking into the gassing in Syria had lied, but, of course, that was never reported on the MSM. It's experts on the ground all said their had been no gassing. It was a set up by ISIS, but the desk-jockey globalists in the organization covered that up. (Sorry, without looking it up, I can't remember the name of that organization, but you can check it out). When Trump won the presidency, the US did more damage to ISIS, but it is PUTIN who made the difference. It was PUTIN and Russian larger bombing that defeated ISIS. (Again, ignored by the MSM.) I am a Trump fan, but in that one attack against Assad, using as a reason, gassing by Assad that in reality had never happened, I parted company with him. In closing, the Obama Administration caused so much hell in the Middle East that spilled into the worst crisis in Europe since WW2, the migrant crisis. On that note, in an on-the-ground documentary (of course not mentioned or aired by the MSM), the migrants themselves exposed what was happening. Ever wonder why, all at the same time, thousands of migrants from different countries, independently decide to try their luck in Europe (or America)? That's not how it worked. They are not refugees from war. They are economic refugees. They did not independently decide to head for Europe (or America). Representatives from NGO's (liberal, globalist, Soros NGO's) flooded their countries and solicited them to leave at great cost to them and with many false promises, some being abandoned halfway through the journey; some landing in various countries in Europe, with little hope of full and successful lives. Not to forget, some "war refugees," who, as Paul Joseph Watson. mentioned, were actually Islamic extremists, seizing the opportunity afforded by totally inept globalist politicians, to enter Europe and ply their evil deeds.

  1091.  Cheryl Brandon  When people think it is somehow clever to demean President Trump by bullying him. Name calling is nothing less than bullying -- appalling, puerile behavior for adults -- it immediately reveals a ton of negative information about the name callers, not President Trump. Worse, when the name calling is without evidence, example or reputable source. President Trump before CVQ delivered the best ever employment results for African Americans and all ethnic groups -- the best for women in 75 years. He is also relentless about ending exploitive outsourcing and insourcing of cheap labor that keeps down and lowers wages, destroys jobs for Americans and decimates manufacturing. (Reason why some greedy CEO's won't support him - they want the low-wage status quo to fill their pockets.) His latest executive order, to lower the cost of drugs. Low-income areas have greatly benefited from his program of assistance for entrepreneurs and businesses in those areas. His First Step program is giving second chances to reformed prisoners (mostly black). His push for school choice that would dramatically benefit children in under privileged areas is being blocked by Democrats. Yet you call him a "chump." That indicates that you prefer the Democrat Party whose elected officials have allowed cities such as Chicago to fall into death zones of depravity; that do not have the guts to refuse to defund police; that sit back without action as the terrorist organization ANTIVA and Marxist organization BLM riot, destroy, burn, attack, kill and loot; that prefer to hand out subsistence welfare checks, instead of lifting up the economically disadvantaged to live better lives; that are not interested in law and order and support the seditious attempted coup against President Trump and framing of an innocent man, General Flynn. Be very sure you are totally familiar with the platforms of politicians you support and what the ultimate consequences will be for you. Socialism, with very little law and order, injustice, two-tiered justice, and government handouts without the money to handout will end very badly, as we have witnessed from all countries that fell into those traps. A vote for Biden is a vote for a political party that has done absolutely nothing to improve black lives, and was, in fact, the party of slavery, Jim Crow laws in the South and the KKK.

  1114. I believe that women must report rape promptly (with the exception of children for obvious reasons). I have never heard of this woman before, but she most certainly sounds credible; however, there have been many instances of women wrongly accusing men of sexual deviation or rape when the men are in fact innocent, especially when a woman wants to ruin a man's career for some reason, usually politics. I believe there should be a statute of limitations for reporting rape or sexual misconduct. A very short statute of limitations. One month. No report, then no-go later. That is plenty of time for women who have been so vilely abused. It would eliminate wrongful accusations and the sordid tactic of women coming out of the woodwork decades later, with no concrete evidence, attempting to stop political careers with these accusations. I also believe that if a woman goes back for more, then her case goes down the ladder in credibility. This woman, Charlotte Lewis, seems to have gone through sheer hell. I have always been aghast at the blind eye of Hollywood and its hypocritical starlets/actresses towards Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein. Video of Meryl Streep's loud standing ovation for Roman Polanski when he was publicly under indictment. Bill Cosby's main accuser, an adult woman, who went back for more. Oprah Winfrey, who was the one woman in a position to publicly out Harvey Weinstein, cosying up to him for years (with photographic evidence). She did not need him. She had the independence, money, connections and public reach to bring his situation to the front. Yet she did nothing, then become a pro-active Me-Too member.

  1205.  @shadowfuture1378  If you watch the mainstream news, I expect you probably think people wanted Biden as president. If you followed the actual factual news on alternative media outlets, you would have picked up on a very significant and obvious trend. The majority of people did not want Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or the Democrat Party. Perhaps, you simply weren't paying attention to the trend. It was painfully obvious in the hundreds of thousands attending Trump's rallies and events of support, with less than a hundred attending Biden's very few rallies. Furthermore, if you had followed the factual news, you would have known about the proof from Hunter Biden's laptop that Joe Biden shared in the spoils from the Biden Family illegal foreign influence peddling, in addition to his participation in the shameful FBI plots against Trump. (He was proactive in a meeting at the White House, attended by Obama et al, at which they plotted how to frame an innocent man (General Flynn), knowing he was innocent. By the time of the election, even decent Democrats were disgusted by the Democrat/Biden corruption. Intelligent people do not return pervadors of corruption and sedition to power. Of course, Twitter and Facebook and the corrupt mainstream media censored information about Biden's profiting from illegal influence peddling; however, people in the know, already knew that he had profited at the expense of Americans. On the night of the election, Trump was winning overwhelmingly, then suddenly a few states simultaneously stopped their counts (unheard of before), and lo and behold, those states suddenly had Biden winning by wide margins. Some of the tracing demonstrated large blocks of Trump votes simply being exchanged for small blocks of Biden votes. So shameful, it is hard to believe we are experiencing such corruption in America in our lifetimes, now leading to a massive push towards totalitarian socialism and fascism in the US (dripping into other countries) that we never thought could possibly happen in advanced societies that time and time again, even in our lifetime, have watched totalitarian socialist societies and governments fail spectacularly.

  1206.  @turboteddy4912  You didn't bother to read those bills. I don't even have to ask, because your comment tells us that you did not. Firstly, Biden's tax increase is on everyone, except those under Biden who will be added the growing welfare rolls. If you had bothered to read them and be informed, you would know that his total of approximately $6 trillion in spending has nothing to do with the title of those bills. Both the CoVid Relief and Infrastructure bills set aside less than 10% for CoVid Relief and Infrastructure. Biden's relief bills are pork barrel masterpieces. Where were you when Trump read out the $millions and $millions that were going to foreign and national special interest groups that have nothing to do with struggling Americans. Trump delayed signing that bill, because he believed that all the funds should go to CoVid relief. The really sad thing about your comment is that it highlights how the uninformed have no idea about the platforms of the Republicans and Democrats. They vote for the Democrat Party, thinking it is the party of classical liberalism for the little people, not understanding that it has moved miles away from that. It is the party of big business - the one percenters! Why do you think Trump is so popular? His policies were for the people. Why do you think the CEO's did not support Trump? Because Trump is adamantly against exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keep wages down, destroy jobs and decimates cities. The CEO's, backed by Democrats fought him on that every step of the way. They want the status quo to fill their already bulging bank accounts on the backs of cheap labor. Now Biden has rolled back Trump's tax cuts (including for the middle class) and ramped up exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor. In addition: $6 trillion Biden spending in 100 days! Who the h. do you think is going to pay for that? You know, Turbo Teddy, I suggest you start learning about economics, finance and business and how to read and listen to the news with discernment. Voting for the wrong people for uninformed and wrong reasons always swings to bite those voters. Learn where the $6 trillion comes from and the very severe consequences for healthy economies.

  1226.  mkbxtr44  - President Trump has delivered the best economy and job situation for ordinary Americans and all ethnic groups ever in U.S. history. Under Obama/Democrats, the economy grew at less than half the rate, and Obama publicly declared that it was impossible to improve beyond that level. He also doubled the national debt to over $10 trillion. Do you have any idea who pays for that mind-boggling debt or where it went?. Hard working Americans pay big time, either directly or through interest payments on the debt -- interest payments that otherwise could have been used for badly needed essential services. Do you think rich Democrats have your interest in mind? Democrats want open borders and unvetted immigration. Do you have any idea what that does? It crowds Americans out of jobs, reduces wages, and takes up billions of tax-funded and borrowed dollars for the extra services they need -- that is precious funding that would otherwise to schools, infrastructure, etc. I challenge you to check out the richest Americans, then trace the companies they have been responsible for creating and add up the millions of jobs that have resulted. Do you have any idea why many CEO's won't support Trump? Because he is trying to end outsourcing and insourcing that exploits foreigners by paying them bottom wages. What are the results of these activities? massive job losses, businesses and manufacturers leaving the U.S. and huge downward pressure on wages. I could go on and on. I suggest you do yourself a favour and sign up for some economic and finance courses. To understand exactly which political policies actually help Americans and which do not. Also, to set yourself up for a life of security without reliance on corporations, government or even your own family. How many welfare families have you seen lift themselves up to become millionaires? Truth is that they don't, because they become reliant on those payments, courtesy of taxpayers. How many financially independent people do you think have lifted themselves up to become millionaires and billionaires? Thousands. Read Forbes's list of billionaires. It is full of self-made billionaires -- the people who create the businesses and jobs.

  1227.  John M  Some thoughts for you. HEALTHCARE: Did you know that America pays more in government-funded healthcare than any other country in the world? It has a two-tier healthcare system, just as every other Western country has, other than Canada. (Canada's system is broken and not sustainable.) U.S. funded healthcare is under Medicare and Medicaid. A Swedish healthcare authority was once interviewed about Sweden's healthcare system. (Sweden, by the way, also has two-tier health -- private & public.). He said that what many don't understand is that its healthcare is good, courtesy of American equipment and drugs. POVERTY vs RICH: Approximately 11.3% pre-CVQ live below the US poverty line, bearing in mind that poverty in the US doesn't come close to poverty in developing countries, although uncontrolled immigration, sanctuary cities, liberal policies and drugs are transforming "relatively comfortable poverty" into street poverty. (Personally, I am adamantly against allowing poverty to fester on the streets.) BEZOS & BUFFET: Take half of Bezos's and Buffet's money away?!! Think about what you are saying, right out of the playbook of socialism/communism. A prime reason those political philosophies, as well as high taxes, have never worked and never will work is that innate to human beings is the expectation to be rewarded for their work -- incentive to innovate, create and be successful; not to work damn hard and pass your reward on to someone who has not produced the same results, or in millions of cases, not worked at all. BEZOS: How many people do you think work at Amazon? 840,000! Maybe more now, as a result of the CVQ. That's just the Amazon employees. How many peripheral jobs do you think Amazon produces through distribution, technology applications, manufacturers, small and large businesses that sell their products on Amazon, authors, equipment supplies, trucking...on and on - millions of jobs. All courtesy of Amazon, one man who had the courage, innovation and smarts to create a business that hundreds of millions of people in the world use. He deserves his billions. Albeit, I can't stand the man's politics. Why do you think he hates and won't support Trump. I am sure he has many gripes, but a major one is because President Trump is adamantly against the exploitive outsourcing and insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wage down, eliminates jobs and decimates manufacturing. Greedy CEO's want to maintain the status quo to fill their bank accounts on the backs of cheap labor. That is not just a U.S. issue; it is a Western-world issue. BUFFET: How many hundreds of millions of people have jobs because of Buffet's financing of, and investing in, companies? How about the shareholders of his funds -- large funds that in turn have millions of ordinary investors who profit proportionately to their ownership. Buffet, by the way, has donated approximately $15 billion. How many jobs do you think are created by the consumer products and services that the wealthy use? TERMINALLY ILL COUNTRY: It would be very interesting to know where you live, because I can guaranty you that I could have a great debate about the ills of your country. America has been the greatest country in the world: Saved Britain from being defeated in two world wars, Russia in one (Lend lease agreements with both Russia and Britain); grew its economy to the greatest in the world with free enterprise, creation and innovation, as other countries experimented with socialism or large socialist government-run organizations. No one can deny that right now the US is ill (Wuhan Virus that decimated the economy, an attempted coup and other seditious plots, and now insurrection supported by Democrats), but terminally ill? Let's hope not. Already a small uptick in the economy, with far better than expected employment numbers just out. The rioting and chaos in America right now have several contributing factors: dumbed-down education, socialist and progressive liberal indoctrination in universities, identity politics, massive and growing government and social programs, massive welfare system that mires families in poverty, open borders, illegal migrants, out-of-control legal immigration, infiltration of drugs, loss of professional journalism, corrupt deep-state operatives, politicians who no longer debate but simply hurl lies, slander, libel and epithets, an ex-president determined to return as a proxy president to fix his shattered legacy. Every single one of these ills originates with, and is perpetuated by, Democrats. So, yes, if progressive liberal socialism, globalism, identity politics and all its offshoots are not curbed, America's ills will be terminal. If America's ills are terminal, then every other country better wait for a nasty fallout. It is that important that Trump win in November.

  1246.  @robertp7209  (1) Totally agree with you. That is exactly how Biden received as many votes as he did (although not enough to win). When Trump announced his candidacy, I was neutral and aware of the early hatred towards him. I knew something was very wrong when all coverage of him was negative. So I started watching his rallies and found that the mainstream coverage was completely opposite to what he was saying. His rallies were good. He laid out his platform and reasons for his decisions. He cared about America and the average person. He even has the courage to be self-deprecating. All reasons he is so popular. I became more and more informed, including about the FBI/OBAMA plots against him. I knew I had to speak out against such appalling corruption. Many people, still to this day, are unaware of the deep Democrat corruption. I am so flabbergasted by the notion of people supporting such corruption, I make a point of questioning them to find out why. I have discovered that, almost universally (except for extreme-left globalist, neoliberal socialists intent on changing the world) that people are totally uninformed. They parrot what they hear on the mainstream news, such as CNN, without substantiation, reason or intelligence. They are totally unaware that Democrat liberalism is no longer the classical liberalism they think they are supporting; that the Democrats are partnered with large corporations, while Trump conservatives are for American people. Some now have an inkling about the fabricated plots against Trump, but are unaware of the details. The loss of professional journalism is one of the most serious crises we face today, so dire the consequences for functional democracy. Ironic, because as the "great reset" is ramped up, with CoVid lockdowns, as a springboard, one of the tenets of globalism (evident in Biden's address to Congress, is totalitarian, fascist government - the one percenters and top bureaucrats getting things done without having to worry about what the people think or how they will vote). We are learning very quickly who the stakeholders are that Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum, mentioned from Davos, when he pronounced that capitalism was dead, and that the new system was "stakeholder capitalism." Now, added to that, is censorship and silencing opponents, two tactics used in 1930s Germany to bring Hitler to power and maintain his power.

  1264.  @Amidat  - Cage spaces started in the 50s/60s as a result of a huge number of migrations from the mainland during the Chinese Civil War and a surge in birth rates in a successful economy. The population increased from 2,015,300 in 1951 to 3,129,648 in 1961. In response the HK Gov. started building housing estates; however, the response could not keep up with the surge. Cage homes became popular among migrant workers, as the rental fee was low. They had a choice. They didn't have to be there. These cages still exist as the HK Gov. has instituted a single-person scoring system for public housing and lowered public housing quotas. New immigrants are required to wait seven years to become Hong Kong permanent residents. Poor migrants are often forced to live in the cages until they receive a Hong Kong ID card. (Information from Wikipedia) In addition to migrants are tourists. 4.5 million in 2001 to 47.3 million in 2014, mainly from Mainland China, outnumbering tourists from all other countries combined. In 2017, tourists rose to 58.47 million, 44.45 million from Mainland China, accounting for 76% of the total. (Information from Forbes) So, what are the lessons here: (1) We live in the days of the internet. So easy to research information before you rattle off with half-true innuendos designed to demean a group. It appears there are strong arguments that Hong Kong would be better off, if it were still under British jurisdiction, albeit the Chinese Government still grants it financial/commercial freedoms as a designated Special Administrative Region. (2) An important lesson for those in the West, especially liberal politicians, because their culpability is great, about what will happen with open borders, and even uncurbed legal immigration. Such an ugly scenario already showing its ugly head in North American western cities (sanctuary cities, such as Chicago, and cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, B. C.), except that in the West they litter the streets with their tents feces and drug needles. No covered cage rooms for them. I have always been flabbergast at the foolish British agreement to hand Hong Kong back to China. Hong Kong used to be the best place in the world for business. Now it is the third best place. So, you see there are multiple contributors to the introduction of cage "apartments," but the singular most significant cause is the infiltration of migrants from China and a city struggling under massive overpopulation. Next time, do your homework and become a commentator with credibility.

  1272. It is hardly surprising that Olga Smirnova left the Bolshoi Ballet because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Surely, as a Russian, she must know about Ukraine's shelling of the Donbass, with over 14,000 Russian men, women and children killed by the shelling to date, as the Russian Army encircles the nazified Azov Militia to neutralize it to stop the shelling. She may or may not have known that crucial reason for the war, as dancers tend to be insularly focused on dance, but it is hardly surprising she left. Her husband works for Goldman Sachs. And, by the way, this war was not started by Russia. As Biden's threats against Putin escalated, Putin and Lavrov consistently asked for diplomacy to stop the Ukrainian killing of Russians in the Donbass and stop the infusion of US/NATO on Russia's border. Their calls fell on deaf ears. You can watch the sequences. They all played out on the internet, so shame on those who either don't bother to learn the issues, or deliberately cover them up to support the uninformed, vitriolic hatred against Russia and Russians. This is Biden's war with Russia, using Ukraine, from which he has done his share of plundering, as a proxy. Hunter Biden/Burisma $83,000/ month for a no-show board seat is just a very small example of Biden theft -- and, now, news that Hunter Biden invested heavily in the BioWar Labs in Ukraine where does it end. The loss of balanced, fully-true, professional journalism at media outlets, such as ABC, is one of the worst crises we face today, the dire aftermath and destruction of which will play out long after Putin defeats the Azov Militia, rescues Ukraine from corrupt oligarchs, US/NATO profiteering and foreign aid, much of it siphoned into US bank accounts.

  1273.  @jimjones3287  TAXES. President Trump cut taxes for all Americans and businesses across the board. Shame on you for not knowing that. You might want to start learning about what happens when taxes on the wealthy (who create the jobs and industries) are increased. You can start right at home in California. A total disaster. A fallen state. IRAN AND NUCLEAR WAR President Trump not once threatened nuclear war with Iran. He simply warned against it and zapped an Iranian terrorist leader, Qassem Soleimani, working with terrorist insurgents in Iraq. Did you ever read just the summary of the Obama/Iran deal that Biden is now reinstating? I guess not. If you had, you would understand that it is a very dangerous agreement that ensures Iran will become a nuclear power, putting all of the Middle East in danger. VENEZUELA Trump supplied trucks with food supplies for starving Venezuelans. Maduro's goons set them on fire. Didn't see that? Of course not, the mainstream liberal media did not carry it. If you bother to do your homework away from the corrupt mainstream news, you will discover some interesting facts about Trump's stance with Venezuela. He was adamantly against Maduro's destruction of the country. He was also not taken with Guaidó, considering him weak, but received pushback from his team, as the US was supporting Guaidó. Trump contemplated meeting Maduro, not because he endorsed his actions, but because he believes it is always good to talk. In view of the overall US position against socialism in Venezuela, such a meeting did not happen, but the facts are a huge stretch from a "coup in Venezuela." If you are interested in inappropriate coups, I recommend you hunker down to some research on the Obama/Biden initiated Maidan Coup in Ukraine; Hillary Clinton's regime-change policies and support of ISIS in Syria and certain factions in Libya, bringing chaos and civil war to both countries, and death and destruction to millions in the middle east. How interesting that you, an obvious liberal, would be angry about an imagined US coup against Venezuela, yet be silent about Ukraine, Syria and Libya. Of course, the nearest and most shameful attempted coup was the FBI/CIA/Democrat plot to remove President Trump, using a false dossier, funded by Hillary Clinton, as the reason to do that. TRUMP FOR THE PEOPLE Four of the top reasons Trump is so popular, the champion of the people: (1) He exposed the insidious corruption of the Deep State, the Democrat Party and the left-liberal media. (2) Because of his platform and message, people became cognizant of the switch that has taken place between Republicans and Democrats. The Democrat Party, once the party of classical liberalism, now a left-wing, socialist-leaning party for big business and the one percenters. Trump Republicans, the party for the people. (3) Ever wonder why CEOs would not, and still don't support Trump? Because he is adamantly against the exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down, destroys jobs, kills manufacturing and decimates cities. CEOs want the status quo of globalist cheap labor to fill their already bulging bank accounts on the backs of cheap labor. This issue was central to the Trump Administration. It is also central to so much of what has gone wrong with economies and societies. Democrats fought him at every turn. Biden has cancelled all the important initiatives against this destructive trend, although, touch wood, he has not cancelled the USAMC trade agreement. (4) President Trump, the first president and likely the last, to forego his presidential salary (while giving up his position in his multi-billion-dollar, multinational organization), an indication, along with his courage against the plots and corruption against him that he really cares for the American people.

  1314. Andrew? What on earth has happened to the British justice system, the pillar of a free, democratic country that relies on the rule of law? Innocent until proven guilty, turfed out the window. There is a photo of Andrew with his accuser, who looks decidedly over the age of majority and pretty happy too. She had a middle-class upbringing, so had the background to make sound decisions at her apparent age then - seventeen. Interesting how juvenile criminals can be tried as adults, but when it comes to female accusers months short of the age of majority, they are considered to be children. Frankly, I doubt this woman's accusations. She has a reputation as a deep-pockets chaser. She has already bagged $500,000 (I believe) in connection with related accusations, and has pocketed considerably more in hawking her story. I have watched too many women falsely accuse men. It prevents me from falling hook line and sinker for her twenty-year old victim story. In my view, her word against his is not sufficient evidence. Was Andrew foolish to have befriended E. Yes. He has already admitted that. Many more public figures visited E, including Britain's famous Stephen Hawking. Meanwhile, the man featured in a photograph, in one of E's residences, posing in a blue dress with red high-heeled shoes, walks free and recently surfaced to put in a word for his corrupt wife. Meanwhile, walking free, without fear of prosecution, are the lowest of the low, vile pimps who prowl the streets, checking their street workers, plucked from dysfunctional homes, who do not have the wherewithal to make sound decisions, down and out, sick and often addicted to drugs. Also walking free, the treacherous human-trafficking gangs who buy pre-teen children and sell them into the sex trade. The crowd's perspective is seriously flawed as they scream against Andrew. It's all about the money, political power, and the lemming crowd that does not take time to analyse a story.

  1322. Firstly, only fools, the greedy, and uninformed thought real estate (in whatever form) was a safe bet with almost zero risk of losing money. Astounding, because the real-estate downturn prior to the 2008 collapse occurred not that long ago in the 1980's - in recent living memory. Always important to drill down to ultimate causes. Causes of the housing issues today: (1) Massive irresponsible population growth (that is exponential/geometric, not arithmetic). People today, still argue that people should have the right to as many children as they want, especially if they are rich and can afford the children. They give no thought to world-wide competition for the same limited resources on a finite planet. (2) Dysfunctional, inept governments in collusion with greedy developers, because each floor of, say, a 90-floor condominium building, produces a massive flow of taxes to waste. (3) Migrations to the West and the need for more and more housing to accommodate immigrants and migrants. How many of those living in cage homes in Hong Kong migrated from Mainland China? (4) The domino effect of increasing house prices and rents. If that neighbor just sold his house for $1million, then I better get into the market quickly and ask for $1.5 million for my similar house. If that landlord can charge $2,000 for a small bachelor apartment, then I had better increase the rents for my rental suites, etc. (5) The move from individually owned, real-estate development companies, to huge public owned companies, but more troubling off-market private-equity and limited partnerships. Having said that, we are already at population saturation point. For sustainable living, focus must be on birth control, greatly curbed legal immigration and an end to illegal immigration. If, say, Canada, where migration from China is huge, continues it's open doors, then Canadian cities will be the massively overpopulated new Hong Kongs. New capitalistic forms of commerce and corporations have to be developed to allow for higher wages, corporate ownership and job security. Education will have to be dragged into that mix. Lower taxation will be essential.

  1339.  @OtayBuckwheat  Sounds as if you are attempting to defame President Trump, which, judging by your headshot is extraordinary. One of the most serious crises today is dumbed-down education leading to ignorant electorates who have no idea about economic issues and no idea about the political platforms, activities or accomplishments (good or bad) of the various politicians. President Trump delivered the best economy in the US EVER for ALL groups (including African Americans and Black Youth), with the lowest unemployment for all the groups (for women the best in 75 years). The Biden Regime has quickly stripped that away, and we are headed into a very scary and inflationary economy. Do you enjoy paying double for your groceries? Intrigued by the irrational hatred towards President Trump, I would question "liberals." I discovered, without exception, that they knew nothing about him, his actual policies, his initiatives or his accomplishments. That was not all. They also knew nothing about the liberal and Biden agenda. They simply threw my way anti-Trump epithets and slander they had heard on CNN, including the Russia/Trump collusion conspiracy theory. We now know, of course, that it was no less than Hillary Clinton who had started that lie. That is concretely documented, not hearsay or rumor. Do you have any idea why certain CEOs would not support Trump? Because he is adamantly against the exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down, destroys jobs, decimates domestic manufacturing and makes h. holes out of cities. CEOs want the status quo to increase profits and fill their already overflowing bank accounts on the backs of cheap labor. Astonishing that, given just those two facts, you, judging by your photograph, would make such an ignorant claim.

  1351. Thank goodness for people such as David Starkey, who have the courage to fight back, without mincing words, against those who advocate censorship, David Starkey being one of thousands of individuals who have been caught in the net of totalitarian fascism creeping from America across the Western world. Why would he spare Biden, known for his dementia, one of the manifestations of dementia being bed wetting? Biden, through Jen Psaki, White House press secretary, admitted that the Biden Regime is actively working with Big Tech to censor political opponents with whom they disagree. David Starkey's sniping at Biden isn't anywhere as tasteless as the difficulties for people under censorship and totalitarian fascism. Albert Einstein once remarked on all the evil in the world but warned that more evil are those who do nothing about it. Hitler's government started with evils very similar to the evils being perpetrated by woke liberalism today, one such evil being censorship, David Starkey a victim of that censorship, because historical facts don't fit the agenda of modern woke victimhood. After WW2 an aghast world asked why ordinary Germans had allowed the evils of totalitarian fascism to take hold in Germany. Perhaps you would have been one of those people who did nothing had you lived in Germany, an assumpion arrived at as you reprimand David Starkey for speaking out, albeit in an obtuse manner. Instead you whine about tasteless remarks spoken against one of the major perpetrators today of the evil of censorship and refuse to listen to one of the most knowledgeable experts on Tudor history, in effect becoming a censor yourself.

  1405. What shenanigans would those be, Latoya?!! Let's talk about shenanigans -- in fact, not shenanigans, but outright sedition. Hillary Clinton made up a story about Trump/Russia collusion to detract from her email scandal. How do we know? John Brennan, head of the CIA at the time, briefed Obama. That briefing has been released to the public. She then funded a false dossier to back up her lies. How do we know? Her laundered funds were traced from the DNC through her law firm, Perkins Coie, to her smear agents, Fusion GPS, who were working with the author of the dossier, a former British spy, Christopher Steele. How do we know it was false? The prime source for the lies in the dossier, a suspected Russian spy, who worked for the extreme-left think tank, the Brookings Institute, Igor Danchenko, told us so, under questioning by the FBI and through documents presented in a European court case. Democrat FBI officials used the false dossier to defraud the FISA court to illegally obtain warrants to spy on innocent Americans in the hope of getting to Trump. How do we know? The victims of the spying have told their stories; a Democrat lawyer who changed the wording of a document (email) presented to the court was indicted and pled guilty; the inspector general, investing the situation, revealed the illegal activity; the documents of the culprits planning the plot were leaked; and through sworn testimony. Democrats, with the cooperation of the corrupt media, publicized the false dossier, and continued to spread the lies for almost four years, either knowing it was false, or being so inept, they didn't do the research (the former is more likely). The scandal led to the Mueller Investigation, with his corrupt team, the cooperation of corrupt FBI officials and media, investigating something they knew was false -- in other words investigating their own abhorrent plot. Latoya, if you think what I have just told you is just fine, then, no matter what your political beliefs, you are devoid of decency, ethics and empathy.

  1433.  @slangtang6671  (2) America was hardly a beautiful place under Obama. The economy after 2008 simply did not rebound sufficiently. Obama actually said it could not be done. Pre-Covid, Trump delivered the best economy EVER for all groups (for women, the best in 75 years), manufacturing & businesses returned to America, tax cuts and elimination of extraneous government regulations stimulated business & helped people. Post CoVid, under Trump, unemployment is already as low as 6.5% and GDP increased 33.1%, the highest increase ever recorded (more on that later). Exploitive outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down accelerated, in line with Obama's globalism, and was bolstered by the continuation of NAFTA and a proposed new Pacific trade deal that was worse. His deal with Iran was frightening. Did you read the summary? Chilling, pretty well ensuring the threat of future nuclear war in the Middle East, if not actual nuclear war. He did nothing to stop China from manipulating its currency to increase America's trade deficit with China. Continuous trade deficits are extremely bad for a country (subject for another thread). China accelerated its theft of US technology. Indoctrination of students toward socialism and some of the most ridiculous but dangerous trends sprouted out of universities (racist Critical Race Theory; Equal Outcome Theory versus Equal Opportunity; Safe places for students, preventing them from learning how to survive in a difficult world; loss of free speech and attacks on opponents on campuses; gender stretching in the face of science, etc. Continued....

  1434.  @slangtang6671  (5) Obama's intelligence agencies illegally targeted innocent Americans using his intelligence services. The Obama Administration and Obama left-over civil servants mounted a treasonous attempted coup against Trump. Hillary Clinton created a false story about Trump/Russia collusion while Obama was in office. How do we know? Brennan briefed Obama, and the briefing has been released to the public. At a minimum Obama should have put an end to it. She then funded a false dossier to back up her lies, which was also used to further smear Trump, defraud the FISA court to illegally obtain warrants to spy on innocent Americans in an effort to bring down Trump, and to alienate the American public against him. We now know Obama was in on the corruption. Page wrote to Strzok that POTUS wants to know about everything we are doing. On January 5, 2017, a meeting was held in the White House to plot how to frame an innocent man, General Flynn, knowing he was innocent, in order to avoid his policies and as another effort to bring Trump down. Obama, Biden, Brennan, Susan Rice, Sally Yates and likely Strzok attended the meeting. How do we know? From their own notes. Biden was proactive in the meeting, suggesting using the Logan Act against General Flynn. The framing of General Flynn is one of the most egregious, corrupt incidents in US politics. Now this man Biden, who for years was involved in foreign influence peddling, racketeering and bribery to enrich himself at the expense of America is pretending to have won the presidency. Democrats are actually supporting massive censorship that was involved in hiding evidence of Biden's influence peddling. You couldn't find a person more disappointed in Obama than me. It all lies in his complex relationship with his father. I have come to the point that perhaps eliminating political parties would be a good thing. Vote for candidates on the basis of their own merits. Why? Because, ignoring ignorant electorates as a result of the loss of professional journalism, the only way I can fathom people voting for corrupt politicians, such as Biden, is that they are voting for a party and whoever happens to represent their party in their districts, or as potential president, even if they are as corrupt as h.

  1461. Very important to take time to find out the facts. Wild innuendos without substantiation simply fan the flames of disrespect towards those who are against Obama's political actions and results. Obama made enough factual mistakes and is complicated enough to figure out without having to resort to inaccurate notions to demean him. No, his name is Barack Obama. Barry is the name he was known by at school in Hawaii, I believe because of difficulties pronouncing the unusual name of "Barack." Satero is the name of his step father. He was on a path of "change." The goal of that change and contributing factors are still a topic of controversy. His first foreign speech was made in Cairo to a wide audience at the University of Cairo. The Muslim Brotherhood was not in power; however, it was fermenting behind the scenes and played a huge role in rendering his speech in Cairo to nothing. He also made the huge mistake of siding with the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization known for terrorism, during the "Arab Spring." I am not sure what on earth you are talking about as far as an Islamic ring is concerned. Both his father and mother were atheists. His father was already a confirmed atheist when he met his mother. His mother was not brought up with religion and was a secular humanist. His step father saw no useful role for religion. In other words, Obama grew up without religion. His association with the black church when he was a community organizer could be viewed as opportunistic. He recognized the power of the African American church as a tool for change. He says he is a Christian, believes in the redemption of Christianity. Although there were many photo ops of Obama and his family heading for church when he was president, apparently they don't go to church much. His paternal grandfather initially followed tribal religion, converted to Roman Catholicism, then to Islam, when he took the name, Hussein. The name, not the religion, was passed on to Obama's father, then to Obama. During her primary campaign against Obama, Hillary Clinton took dirty political to heights not seen before. She was instrumental in sowing the idea that he was a Muslim. I believe Obama's estranged relationship with his father, his father's history and record, and his paternal family as a whole plays a crucial role in Obama's globalism, misguided acquiescence to Hillary Clinton's regime-change policies, and his naivety about the Middle East.

  1473. The astounding aspect of this marriage is that Meghan Markle was a known political activist before the marriage, yet the Queen apparently agreed with not only the marriage but also in having the couple represent her, the Head of State of Britain, who, along with her representatives, must be apolitical. Meghan Markle had publicly trashed President Trump, not with examples of policy and intelligent discussion about why she disagreed, but by slandering him with epithets and names, parotting CNN et al, without reason or intelligence. She had trashed the leader of Britain's greatest ally and continued to be an activist with the pushback eventually causing her to flee, dragging her puerile husband with her. When Princess Margaret wanted to marry Peter Townsend, the Queen gave her permission, as long as she dropped her royal titles, royal role as a representative of the Queen, royal salaries and benefits -- all because Peter Townsend was a divorced man. Meghan Markle was a divorced woman. Peter Townsend was an equerry to King George V, much loved by him and his family and also the British public as he was an acclaimed ace pilot from WW2. He was diplomatic, discreet, decent and intelligent. He never spoke out of turn. Yet they allowed Meghan Markle, a naive, uninformed political activist to represent the head of state. If the Queen had agreed to the marriage with the same conditions as she/parliament imposed on Princess Margaret if she had gone ahead with the marriage, I expect the result would have been entirely different. Likely with Markle, herself, bowing out, because the conditions would have precluded the fame she was expecting.

  1496. @Ken Powers -- a man! or are you a boy! A voter?! When we consider the intellectual capacity of many voters today, we really do have to weep for the future of democracy, already severely compromised by the type of uneducated fools who post comments such as yours. What I find extremely interesting is that it is inevitably liberals who resort to epithets and truly ignorant posts, when it is apparently academia (professors who have always relied on government) that is spreading the absurd diatribes coming out of the New Democrats today. By the way, President Trump was good looking as a younger man. He also graduated from a top military academy and one of the best business schools in the world. He grew his fathers business of a few million dollars into a multi-national business worth billions of dollars. He beat 16 candidates to become president of the U.S.. His pro-business platform is directly responsible for delivering the best U.S. economy ever, including, you might be interested to know, the best employment for youths ever. How do your accomplishments stand up to those, Ken? Any significant accomplishments? Or are you too busy making a fool of yourself, posting childish comments that you have no accomplishments and are not doing the ground work to pave the way for any future accomplishments. As a woman, I can tell you categorically, that if you and Trump were the same age, I wold choose him any day, even if you are drop-dead good looking (which I doubt). A partnership without intellectual stimulation is vacuous, dry, boring, and doomed for failure, unless both partners are equally vacuous.

  1518. So Laura, Hillary Clinton manufactured a false story about Trump/Russia collusion to detract from her email scandal. (How do we know? Brennan, head of the CIA at the time briefed Obama, and the briefing has been released to the public.) She then funded a false dossier -- the Steele Dossier -- to back her lies. (How do we know? Her laundered funds were traced from the DNC, through her unethical law firm, Perkins Coie, to her smear agents, Fusion GPs who were coordinating the false dossier with Christopher Steele, a former British spy. (How do we know it was false? Steele's source told us so, through FBI hearings and through evidence presented in a European court.) That false dossier was leaked to the press, a trigger for Comey to use it against Trump, and the start of the most shameful smear media campaign in US political history. The filthy untrue smear campaign went on relentlessly for almost four years. Liberal/Obama members of the FBI, DOJ, CIA, DNS were involved in the lies. They used the false dossier to defraud the FISA court to illegally spy on innocent people in an attempt to topple Trump. BIDEN was very proactive in a meeting at the White House with Obama, Comey, Brenan, Yates, Rice and Strzok during which the plotted how to frame an innocent man, General Flynn, knowing he was innocent, in yet another attempt to topple Trump, without a care about destroying his life and the lives of the other innocent individuals on whom they spied. What kind of a person are you, Laura? Did your family and schools/universities teach you no honor, no decency, no ethics that you would support the deep and shameful corruption waged against a duly elected president, calling some neophyte in congress a hero, because, for some unknown reason, he's decided to join the corruption.

  1552. Why on earth was there an urgent need to fortify defences in Europe against Russia? Inept European and US leaders appear to have missed that Russia is not the collapsed USSR. It is an entirely new country, a federal republic, not unlike the US, with the checks and balances of executive, judicial and legislative branches. Russia under Putin (or in fact since its emergence post USSR) had never - not once - threatened or invaded the US or any of the Western countries now waging war against it. Patrick, you are a man of research. Do your research on this war - the history, events and players that led to it. Pay particular attention to Liz Truss. Before the SMO, she screeched on UK TV that Britain would target anyone in the Kremlin who had anything to do with the continuation of Russia, a reckless, ignorant declaration of war to wipe Russia off the map. She carried that vicious message to Moscow to meet Sergey Lavrov, the world renowned diplomat. He was disgusted. It was a trigger. Not to negate Biden's role: US point man in Ukraine over the US-initiated Maidan Coup to oust a duly elected Ukrainian president, because he favored friendly trade with Russia. The coup spilled into civil war and Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians (one of they key causes of the war); Goebbelsian campaign of hatred and vilification of Putin and Russia out of the blue, while orchestrating a massive Ukrainian military increase at the Donbass/Russian border, not reported in the MSM; US explosion of Nord Stream; ensconsement of US/NATO in Ukraine, a non-NATO country; campaign to make the world believe Russia started the war and that the US/West/NATO is protecting the freedom and democracy of Ukraine, the most anti-democratic, corrupt country in Europe and one of the worst in the world. Putin believes in a multipolar world of cooperation among independent, national countries. The US believes in a unipolar world, its hegemony resulting in continuous wars and destruction.

  1628. @John Hoyle So, John, you must have skipped economics in school, if you think Trump was incompetent. Incompetent? President Trump brought business principles to the Oval Office. As a result he delivered the best economic results EVER for all groups of people: African Americans, Black Youth, Latinos, Women (best in 75 years). The lowest unemployment rates and increasing opportunities. His tax cuts, elimination of needless government regulations, and personal negotiations with business leaders resulted in these huge improvements. The number of illegal migrants had trickled to the lowest for many years as a result of his policies and wall. Significant initiatives included ending NAFTA that had drained American jobs; ending the Iran agreement that had Iran on the way to producing nuclear weapons; confirming US support of Israel and moving the US embassy to Jerusalem (Israel being the one democracy in the Middle East); creating dialogue with N. Korea; working against the exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down, destroys American jobs, kills manufacturing and decimates US cities; reducing the price of prescription drugs; fixing the wrongs of ObamaCare; business opportunities in low-income areas; security by preventing unvetted entrants from failed states; school choice for parents; initiatives to end destructive trade deficits, particularly with China; initiatives to prevent China from stealing technology; successful agreements for peace in the Middle East; saving taxpayers billions by refusing to pay the way for the UN and NATO; policies to assist ordinary working Americans; incredible support and funding for the military, veterans and their families; etc. Biden has reversed all the successful initiatives of the Trump Administration. Now America is in the worst mess of our lifetime and has become the laughing stock of the world. Biden has created $6 trillion Buden Dollars out of thin air in just 100 days to increase the size of, and dependency on, government. Are you and your children ready for the fallout of that, John? Think Venezuela. Think collapsed USSR and Easter Bloc. Corruption Democrats tried and tried again and again to find Trump corruption. They failed. They just don't want to admit that he is a pretty straight up guy. Not into corruption. Biden on the other hand involved himself in illegal foreign influence peddling, gaining enormous riches for himself at the expense of taxpayers. He was also deeply involved in the plot against the president. His corruption is so extensive it would take another thread, another time, to explain. Do your research, John, because details of Biden's corruption are extensive from highly reputable journalists -- the few remaining journalists who investigate, check and name their sources, as well as direct evidence on videos featuring Biden himself. If you are a decent person and were just being glib in your comment, then you should care. The woke, totalitarian, fascism of the Biden Regime will end badly for the country you, and your family.

  1629.  @loaf3833  Do you know what "fascism" means? it's a word that seems to evolve according to what an individual wants it to mean. It was coined by Mussolini to describe his political beliefs: authoritarian, totalitarian control of a nation and its economy. That is the opposite of Trump Republicans today and far closer to the Democrat Party (censorship, silencing of opponents, taking jobs away from opponents, more and more power in government). I once said to someone I know who is a left-leaning liberal the she should be very clear about what she is supporting. The Democrat Party is no longer the party of classical liberalism, or, as you put it "liberal democratic capitalism." It has veered much further left, and, in fact, under Biden has crossed the line into totalitarianism. There has been a 180 degree switch in platforms. Trump was (and is) for the ordinary working men and women. Any idea why so many CEO's would not support Trump? Because he is adamantly against the exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down, kills jobs for Americans, eliminates manufacturing and decimates cities. The CEOs and their liberal partners want the status quo to make large profits on the backs of cheap labor. The Democrats fought him at every step of the way when he attempted to change that paradigm to eliminate the outsourcing/insourcing, bring manufacturing home and prevent workers being brought into the country at cheaper rates to replace American workers who had to train the foreign workers before they were fired in order to claim their severance pay. He had a filmed meeting with such workers, who were losing their jobs and had to train their cheaper replacements. He immediately signed an initiative to stop the practice. Biden has reversed that. The Democrat Party has become the party aligned to big and often corrupt corporations. Why do you think Trump is so popular with working men and women? Because he has their backs. As far as neo-Nazis and fascists are concerned, I urge you to research the tactics used in 1930's Germany to bring Hitler to power and maintain his power. The parallels to tactics being used by Democrats today are chilling and alarming. They include censorship; silencing opponents; attacking opponents; falsely indicting opponents; taking business and jobs away from opponents; smashing shops and looting; banning or burning books; indoctrination of school children and university students; banning free speech in universities; promoting and rewarding people on the basis of race, and skin color; re-education camps; false propaganda posing as news; government interference in business (fascism); and cooperation of big business and totalitarian government; attempted coups; and fraudulent elections. Every single one of the activities I have listed has been suggested and most carried out by Democrats today. If you think the Democrats are not moving towards socialism, you haven't been paying attention. During the election campaign, every single Democrat contender supported socialist initiatives. What banner do you think the creation of over $6 trillion Biden Dollars in less than 100 days comes under? Where do you think the money came from? Who is going to pay for it? Read the initiatives behind the creation of that money. They involve huge goverment and government control, by working with and giving preference to companies that sign on to the "reset." They also involve massive handouts to various people and corporations that have nothing to do with the specific initiatives. Pure pork barrel. The road to pure socialism. Biden has cancelled every single successful Trump initiative. He's doing it to appease the left wing of the Democrat Party. In fact, to be fair, Biden is actually doing nothing. He has serious dementia and cannot string two sentences together without a script. An extreme left-wing group is pulling the strings in the shadows. Frankly, the initial plot (Russia/Trump fabrication) against Trump initiated by Hillary Clinton and carried to the max by the Democrat Party and corrupt civil servants and media was the most shameful episode in US politics to be followed by two sham impeachments. Even if I believed in the socialist, left-wing platform of the Democrat Party today, I would never vote for them and put back into power the seditious, corrupt individuals who orchestrated those plots and are orchestrating the mess we see today.

  1635. Do you understand what you are saying? A major reason for the Russian invasion in to save the Russians in the Donbass from being shelled by the Azov Militia and Ukrainian army. Over 14,000 Russian men, women and children have been killed to date. The Azov Militia is a mercenary militia of extreme-right, white supremacists that call themselves N*z*i*s. Their flag is the Ukrainian flag with a swastika. It has been embedded & encouraged in Ukraine for years. Parts of that militia have set themselves up in civilian areas of Ukrainian cities, using the civilians as human shields, resulting in civilian collateral damage. In some cases they are not allowing those civilians to leave through corridors that the Russians have arranged for civilians to leave. George, you need to do the research to properly understand this war, rather than drinking the appalling, blind, irrational hatred towards Russians that the liberal media and #BidenRegime are stirring up. The other central issue for this war is the US attempt to entrench NATO on Russia's border through Ukraine. Putin warned as long ago as 2008 that NATO, now an offensive force, would not be tolerated on Russia's border. The US is attempting a forceful presence of NATO on the border. It has already initiated NATO related activities, such as training and infusing weapons in Ukraine. In 1962 the USSR attempted to position missiles in Cuba directed at the US. The US would not tolerate that and stopped it, risking nuclear war at the time. So why on earth would anyone think Putin should happily accept such a force on his border? The notion is absurd and dangerous. The US is interested in a Ukraine/NATO/EU arrangement as it would be extremely profitable for the US Military Industrial Complex as well as other US economic sectors. It's all about the money. The US has been in Ukraine for 8 years, 3 of which Zelensky has been in power. They have done absolutely nothing for Ukraine. It is a morally and economically bankrupt country -- filled with high level corruption, and survives on foreign AID. Ukrainians will be much better off as a peaceful, neutral country (one of Putin's demands), with trade and other relationships with Russia. without the presence of US corruption and aggressive NATO threats. Zelensky, as president, is in a position to make that happen, so Ukrainians can live peacefully and succeed for their families. Biden is a treacherous war-monger. In my view he and various members of his regime should be tried as war criminals.

  1679. @oo earning -- Astonishing comment. Firstly, Freeland is an inept SJW feminist, victim monger, totally ill-equipped to run a country. Now, about your comment. Do you know the meaning of "zionist"? A zionist is someone who supports zionism. Zionism originally described the national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Israel. As Israel has been permanently established, its meaning has changed to describe the movement for the development and protection of Israel. Disagreements in its philosophy have led to splinter zionist groups: briefly, Political Zionism: the establishment of a secure haven under public law in Israel. Religious Zionism: the fusion of Jewish nationhood, with the religion an essential part of Israel. Socialist Zionism: the quest for socialism, with Jews concentrated in one area, as essential to the Jewish Diaspora. These sub-movements are dynamic and multi-faceted, as situations in Israel, the Middle East and the world change. So which one are you talking about? Are you suggesting that Israel should not exist? That notion is ludicrous. Israel is there to stay, whether you agree that it should have been established or not. So are you insinuating that Israel should have no international partnerships, allies or agreements? Are you suggesting that Western countries, such as the U.S. should abandon support of Israel and support the surrounding countries that promote the decimation of Israel and in many cases actively support and fund terrorism? In my view, both Trudeau and Freeland need to be sent packing. They are both totally inept; however, credit where credit is due. Are you deriding her because she supports regime change in Venezuela? Do you have any idea what has happened in Venezuela? If you do, are you telling us you support the continuation of the thugish and socialist Maduro regime? You want people to continue in dire poverty, hunting for food in garbage cans? You think it's a good idea to allow the continuation of a rule that has totally destroyed and bankrupted a country? You might want to ponder the fact that the regime change is happening within Venezuela. Many countries, including Canada and the U.S., rightly support that change. Yes, Canada has to watch out for Freeland -- hopefully send her packing. More to the point, judging by your statement, Canada has to watch out for voters with your highly questionable and alarming points of view.

  1693.  fredo Fred  - Haute couture is indeed art. You cannot look at collections -- particularly recent collections -- and not understand that they are art. How many people do you imagine have been fed by couture fashions? Fabric designers, fabric manufacturers, petroleum industry (petroleum derivative fabrics), the various designers, cutters, dressmakers, seamstresses with varying couture skills, models, hairdressers, makeup artists, makeup and skin care manufacturers, stylists, photographers, event planners, musicians (for the music), venues, media (internet, TV, magazines, newspapers), reporters, all those involved with knock-offs, distributors of the materials needed for the couture fashions. Hundreds of thousands -- millions. Feed the hungry, you say. That statement implies taking money from some to feed others. Far better to find ways to improve the lives and productivity of the hungry. Meanwhile, I am astounded by this woman. Totally self-absorbed, selfish sponger. Yes sponger, living off the assets of an ex-husband, contributing nothing herself. Simply selling off certain items, for less than she paid for them, when storage space becomes scarce. I am all for innovative, creative, successful business people living off the $billions they generate, but this woman is entirely different. Not even saving the pieces for museums mitigates what she does, in my view. Fashion ends up in museums, without her. The ex husband, really stupid to have paid her so much, or is it a matter of unfair justice for the ex-husband in a court of law (whatever form of law that would have taken). Perhaps, more focus on the hows and whys of the Saudi Royal Family and their advisors; and the merits or not of their wealth, not a black and white issue.

  1702. Interestingly and ironically, RT is a great place to get real news. Tons of raw, on-the-ground footage of events as they happen, with no editing or voice overlay attempting to turn opinion into news. For example: ANTIFA and BLM thugs rampaging through Democrat cities, rioting, attacking, smashing, burning, looting, while the MSM stayed quiet, then kept harping on about "peaceful demonstrations." Other examples of RT footage include the yellow-vest demonstrations in Paris; angry rioting in Lebanon after the huge, preventable explosion; corruption and difficulties in the Congo (for which one of RT's teams was massacred). One raw video was filmed by BLM thugs, themselves. They shot David Dorn, a decent African American family man, patriot, former top law enforcement member, who was helping a friend secure his shop. They filmed their filthy deed and posted it online for all to see. David Dorn, spreadeagled on the pavement, blood gushing from his head, phone still lit up in his outstretched hand, as he tried to pull it in to call for help, as death overtook him. I wept. Those filthy murderers, all caught on CCTV as they escaped the scene. Two later arrested, but, of course, no MSM reporting of the incident or updates about the arrests. Meanwhile, vacuous, uninformed, keep-up-with-the-Joneses corporate organizations, rush to the BLM drum, call up their photographers and website managers to post look-at-our-diversity line-ups and inclusion (often leaving white employees or models out altogether). Shame on them. Before the internet I would comb magazines for photos for fashion-and-color seminars. I used to think, if I were black or Asian, I would be outraged at the lack of representation of my group; then these hypocritical, late-to-the-party, corporate heads and managers rush to catch up under one of the most dangerous banners today, BLM, a self-prescribed Marxist organization, the head of which has publicly announced her goal to rid the world of Western history, culture and accomplishments. An organization with affiliate ties to terrorist and CCP-affiliated organizations. Sorry for the rant, but it's long past time to expose the lemming fools.

  1721. @laura cee -- keep laughing. See how hard you laugh if the Dems win and your taxes go up, migrants live on your streets (as they are doing in Europe with open borders), crime increases and the criminals are protected in sanctuary cities, and you lose your job, because your employer can either outsource it, or import someone to do it for much less money. Perhaps, then, you will learn to assess what is important and what is not. Oh yes, and by the way, you might want to recall the following: The darling of the liberals, Hillary Clinton, still attempting to influence politics, is a long-time enabler of serial, sexual abuse. Anyone who supports her has forever lost any credibility in protesting against real or perceived sexual abuse. She even set up war rooms, with her smear agent, Sidney Blumenthal, to strategize how to demean, and in some cases have investigated, Bill Clinton's victims, calling them "Bimbo Eruptions." Difference between Trump and Clinton. Trump apparently had consensual affairs with these two women, who turned out to be rats. In response to tell-tale bribery, he had them sign non-disclosure agreements (before any campaign and out of his own funds -- absolutely nothing to do with campaign finance). The consideration for the promises in the agreement was the money (all agreements involve consideration to be legally binding). These greedy, unethical and nasty women broke the terms of their agreement. Usually there are legal consequences for that.. Bill Clinton, on the other hand sexually assaulted women. His record is loaded with proven, documented claims against him in that regard. He had to leave his Oxford Rhodes Scholar stint early, because he was accused of rape. MG that should have been a warning to those who voted for him. He had to pay Paula Jones over $800,000, after he assaulted her in a hotel room. He had a twelve-year, extra-marital affair with Gennifer Flowers, then publicly denied knowing her. How would you feel if you were to have a twelve-relationship with someone who then denied knowing you? And Bill Clinton's piece de resistance: a mirky liaison with a young intern. Such situations are never considered consensual because of the power gap. Any CEO who engaged in such activity would be escorted out the door, no questions asked. Bill Clinton was impeached for his lies about his tawdry office affair. On a personal note he called his victim, a very vulnerable woman, "that woman."

  1767.  @bcxaz  All public figures concern themselves with the themselves. It's actually a necessity to gain the exposure in today's mean and nasty world. Trump's character includes a self-congratulatory trait. The millions who support him don't mind, and I am amazed at his courage of self-deprecation that is so evident at this rallies. People love him for that. Obama was the most eloquent president of our time -- perhaps all time; however, his administration turned out to be the most corrupt in US history. So do you go for the eloquence and corruption? Or the self-congratulation and common sense? Trump is a straight-forward, transparent guy. What you see and hear is what you get. In the past, liberals have screamed for transparency, then when it comes their way, they can't handle it. He doesn't have a dishonest bone in his body, although Democrats would love you to believe he's a package of dishonesty and lies. He has the courage of steel. I doubt any other politician could have stood up to the bullying, slander, libel, epithets, plots, lies, sabotage and cancellation that he withstood - and he didn't even take a presidential salary. By the way, HE DID WIN THE ELECTION. Leaving aside the rigging for a moment, if the mainstream, liberal media had been professional and honest, he would have won with the largest landslide ever. I agree with you about his self congratulation, but it is the issues that count. I am conservative, but I am also an atheist. We cannot possible line up all our own wants, needs and wishes with those of our favorite politicians. The world is too complex for that. We have to pick the relevant and significant issues. Personally, I would like to see Republicans de-emphasize god and the right to life. I am not saying they should abandon those key issues of their platform, just de-emphasize them - put them in perspective if you will. I believe many liberals who are aghast at the trend to socialism and totalitarianism would vote Republican if god was not front and centre of the party. In today's world of technology, emphasis on the myths of religion over science, are counter productive.

  1887. The Hamas terrorist attacks on Gaza have exposed so much lack of moral clarity from certain individuals. There is no equivalency between Israel's collateral damage in Gaza and Hamas's targeted atrocities in Israel. Those who attempt to create an equivalency are creating an equivalency between themselves and the terrorists. Just imagine the family of, say, a man, who flung himself from a top floor of one of the Twin Towers to avoid the flames, crying out for humanitarian aid for the terrorists, their families and leaders, with the US stopping all efforts against the terrorists to provide humanitarian aid and supplies to, say, the large bin Laden family and families of the hijacking terrorist bombers! Preposterous! Of course, collateral damage is tragic, but Hamas is culpable for not providing shelters, humanitarian escape routes, essential services and emergency supplies for its people. There is no way Hamas did not know that Israel would respond to the atrocities against its civilians, with lethal vengeance. Let alone that a modus operandi of these terrorists is to exaggerate fatalities to gain international sympathy, they set themselves up in civilian buildings, using civilians as human shields (just as the Ukrainian forces have done) tossing the civilians to the bombs. Now Hamas will pocket humanitarian funds and emergency supplies. As in WW2, first comes defeat of the tyrants and terrorists; next comes humanitarian aid for the civilians who supported the tyrants and terrorists.

  1906.  @johnsmith1474  During the last two years, I have read or re-read: Dinner with Mugabe, Don't Lets Go to the Dogs Tonight, House to House, The Savage Continent, Liars Leakers and Liberals, Secret Empires, The Islamist, Heretic, The Plot Against the President, The Deep State, Witch Hunt, Clinton Cash, Dreams From My Father, Red Notice, Nemesis, The Smartest Guys in the Room (semi-geopolitical). I have actually read a whole lot more, but that's all you are getting. You picked the wrong person. My guess is that I read a whole lot more than you about geopolitics -- mostly on the internet now (not in books). I have been reading about politics/war for decades, including all Hillary Clinton's appalling sugar-coated books. I highly recommend The Islamist and Heretic for an understanding of Islamist extremism and Witch Hunt (impeccably sourced and documented) about the vile, traitorous attempted coup against President Trump that should send chills through any decent, ethical person). All should be required reading for all politicians. Some recommended internet sources for (mostly American and world) politics: Judicial Watch, The Duran, The White House, Lou Dobbs, Epoch Times, Congressional Hearings, any sites with the actual documents that have exposed the plot against President Trump, Wikileaks, Blaze TV, (impressive research into Ukraine/Democrat corruption), Declassified, OAN. Black Pigeon, SARA (Carter), John Solomon, Sidney Powell, Devin Nunes, Thought Leaders, The Mark Levin Show, George Webb, Katie Hopkins, Janice Fiamengo, Peter Hitchens, Michelle Malkin, Candace Owens, Diana West, Heather MacDonald, Paul Joseph Watson, Nigel Farage, Sharyl Attkisson. If you are interested in knowing what is going on in the world, as much as possible you have to go to the source (no commentary overlays with opinion or hearsay -- believe it or not, RT is great for that). Very interesting how, today, it is the conservative sites that have the documented information and reliable sources, while the liberal sites that have turned into goebbelsian garbage-pushing muck devoid of professional journalism. So controlled or biased that they missed the story and have focused for years on the false narrative. On my list to read: The Red Thread, American Betrayal, Catch and Kill, Unfreedom of the Press, From Mohamed to Jihad, Profiles in Corruption, Licensed to Lie.

  1954. Let's talk about shenanigans, Latoya. On January 5, 2017, Obama, Biden and others held a meeting at the White House. During that meeting they plotted how to frame an innocent man, General Flynn, knowing he was innocent. Biden was particularly proactive in that meeting. How do we know about this? Unbelievably, through their own notes, subsequently released to the public. Why did they want to frame General Flynn? As the incoming National Security Advisor, he had plans to revamp the intelligence departments and processes -- upsetting their apple cart; they wanted to get to Trump through him; they were afraid his policies would interfere with their activities in Ukraine. (Those activities in the Ukraine, including an Obama-initiated coup, known as the Maidan Coup, were behind Adam Schiff's attempt to impeach President Trump over Ukraine. They didn't want any changes in Ukraine. Many had careers tied up in Ukraine joining the EU/NATO. Many had shady business dealings around Ukraine joining the EU. Biden's son was siphoning out over $83,000 per month for himself and/or the Biden Family, as a board member of the corrupt energy company, Burisma. He had no industry experience and never even went to Ukraine. It was a pure pay-for-play position. Hence, one of the reasons for the venom dished out to Russia. They didn't want Ukraine trading with Russia versus Europe. Biden suggested they could frame General Flynn through the Logan Act. It is an antiquated act invoked in the early days of the U.S., when chaos still roamed, to prevent people without authority dealing with foreign governments. Only two people have ever been indicted on charges of violating the Act, one in 1802 and the other in 1852. Neither was convicted. In addition, as National Security Adviser, General Flynn not only had authority, but had also kept the appropriate authorities informed about his activities. Biden, devoid of any ethics, had the nerve to embroil himself in this vile plot by bringing up the Logan Act, as his son was skipping around the world dealing, without any authority, with foreign governments in an illegal pay-for-play scheme. Millions of dollars flowed into the Biden Family through their foreign influence peddling scheme. This highly unethical Biden activity had been documented for years (of course not mentioned by the mainstream news). Then Hunter Biden left his laptop at a repair shop, so the documents on it were leaked. Those documents prove without doubt that Biden shared in the profits of the scheme. That took the shadowy activities from highly distasteful and unethical to illegal. But here's the kicker. Unelected Big Tech, with cooperation from the corrupt Democrat/Biden team, censored the information before the election, so that Democrats who are just uninformed but decent and ethical would not know about it before they voted. What would you call these activities and censorship, Latoya? Shenanigans? Highly distasteful but let's put the corrupt team back in power? Or outright wrong, and not worthy of power or the presidency?

  2080. Good one. Bill Clinton, signed NAFTA, the beginning of America's gift to China. Its jobs, money and technology. He also proactively and aggressively promoted housing for all through sub-prime mortgages, the trigger for the crash of 2008. He married and promoted a me-me woman, who turned out to be the most corrupt politician in US history. She did it by riding on his back. She enabled his serial sexual misconduct, calling his victims "Bimbo Eruptions." Don't worry, I supported Barack Obama, and I knew about politics, but not enough. He turned out to be the most corrupt president in US history. My saga, supporting him - in fact, I was a pest singing his praises - is all about not doing enough research and throwing integrity - loyalty to my own, innate conservative views - out the window. Not to gaslight myself completely, I first supported Barack Obama when Hillary Clinton ran against him in the Democratic Primary, bringing dirty politics and filth to new heights. I am tired of politics, but the rumor is that Hillary Clinton is dusting off her ashes to run again, after being true to herself and throwing filth Trump's way, the likes of which we would never have believed could have happened in America. A cloud of her sedition still hovers over us, but she sees an opportunity to exchange Biden's nasty totalitarian game for her corruption. There is no rest for the weary. Albert Einstein once remarked on all the evil in the world but warned that those who do nothing about it are more evil. The evil of Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton must be stamped out.

  2119.  @jidf32  The media can do all the calling it wants -- and with a corrupt anti-Trump media, we could have predicted how that would go, but the MEDIA DOES NOT call the presidency. The electoral college does that. There were not the obvious fraudulent irregularities during the 2016 election. Hillary Clinton was so sure she was going to win in 2016, there was no need to rig the election. The massive 2020 voting fraud had started to be exposed before the election -- not hearsay, assumptions or suspicions, but real live evidence. Ilhan Omar won this election by about 65% of the vote. What was done by the massive voting fraud in which her campaign was implicit -- paying voting harvesters to harvest and pay for ballots of old people to fill those ballots out for Omar! Just one example of massive pre-election voting fraud. Why do I focus in on Hillary Clinton? In 2016 she was the first to start spreading the false accusations about Trump colluding w/ Russia. At the time, we put it down to her relationship with smear politics, but the false accusations spread and engulfed the country for 3-1/2 years (some still stick to the lies), with the corrupt media leading the way. Lo and behold, when the evidence started trickling out, we discover it was Hillary Clinton who dreamt up and initiated the conspiracy and funded the false dossier used as a backup for their attempted coup. Hillary Clinton's hubris demanded she be the first to hint about a plot she, herself, concocted. A little while ago, when the danger of mail-in ballots was being discussed, Hillary Clinton was the first to demand that Joe Biden not concede on election night - not until "all the votes were counted," versus (not until "all the legal votes were counted.") Then and there, remembering her being first to hint to the world about her Russia plot, I thought something is up here. How did she have such prescience about the chaos that has happened over legal versus illegal votes. Nancy Pelosi's and her relationship to the company owning the tech application that spewed Trump votes in Biden's count raises my suspicions even more. I believe, whether squatter Biden or President Trump ends up in the WH, there should be a thorough investigation into that company, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.

  2120. On this one, I am going to be a devil's advocate. Some (not me) would argue that Christine Blasey Ford was intelligent and fluid. I don't condone Prince Andrew's lack of judgement, but let's razor down on his relationship with Epstein. A fun place to stay with parties and girls? How old was the girl who alleges to have had sex with him? A minor or adult? Did the prince actually know how she had been procured? Or is she another Christine Blasey Ford? Epstein was a physics enthusiast. He held physics seminars/events on his property. There are pictures of Stephen Hawking at one of the events. Should the deceased Hawking now be blasted and demeaned for having been there? As for the Clintons, who knows what Bill Clinton, a man with a reputation for sexual deviancy, was up to on those 27 flights on the Lolita Express; but Hillary and Bill frolicking at the same indoor pool party, including questionable antics? Really? Doesn't fit. Not Bill and Hillary together at a sexualized party. It is well documented that they actually live quite separate lives -- Hillary in Chappaqua, New York, Bill at the top of his library in Arkansas. So they had holidays at an Epstein ranch -- he had lots of money to donate to the Clintons, so why not a stay at his ranch. Having said that, the Clintons, much more than the prince, would have known what Epstein was all about. The prince foolishly continued his relationship with Epstein after he was convicted, but that plea deal greatly minimized the seriousness of his activities. In full disclosure, I detest the Clintons; and recently (after Harry's and Meghan's politically charged activities), my support for the British Royal Family is turning cold.

  2147. By your name, Barbara, I am guessing you are British. Britain played a huge role in the start of this phase of the war in Ukraine. (The war has actually been going on since 2014). Since 2014, Putin and Lavrov relentlessly and consistently called for diplomacy to end the Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians (by 2021 over 14,000 Russian men, women, children had perished in that genocide), and to end US/NATO aggression at Russia's border. BEFORE the SMO Joe Biden started demonizing Putin and Russia. He would bizarrely state that Russia would invade Ukraine by a specific date. When no invasion occurred, he would move the date forward. So strange, a man riddled with dementia, being so prescient! What was going on? - Back to that later. Britain oozed itself into the frey. BEFORE Russia's SMO, Liz Truss, Foreign Secretary of Britain at the time, publicly screeched on British TV that Britain would target anyone in the Kremlin who had anything to do with the CONTINUATION of Russia. A reckless, dangerous declaration of war and intention to wipe Russia off the map! Very stupidly (or maybe by design in view of his warmongering) Boris Johnson subsequently sent her to Moscow to meet with Sergey Lavrov, the world renowned and respected Russian Foreign Minister, featured here. Her abominable, threatening, behavior, devoid of diplomacy, discretion and knowledge of the relevant geography, disgusted him. It all played out on the internet. Her declaration of war, her abominable behavior in Moscow, the post-meeting press briefing, and Sergey Lavrov's disgust. Still on the internet for you to find. I believe this ignorant British woman's threats and behavior were a trigger. Within two days Putin recognized, Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbass as independent states. They asked Russia for help to end the genocide against them. In the meantime, what was going on with Joe Biden. Turned out, his threats against Putin were part of his goading Russia to invade. Unbeknown to the West, as it was not reported in the Western MSM, Biden was backing a massive Ukrainian military increase at the Donbass border, close to Russia's border.

  2191.  @mrob611  Your telephone company and your internet provider are private companies (at least private in your sense - public companies in the private sector). Can you imagine if your phone company cut off your phone, because the executives did not like what you were talking about to your friends. So, sorry, your argument doesn't fly. In what hole have you been hiding? President Trump is massively popular, both in the U.S. and in the world. Do you know how many people attended his first rally after the Mueller report? 69,000. See [Trump'] for what he is? Instead of just slinging unsubstantiated, nasty innuendos, perhaps you could enlighten us and explain, with evidence and cited sources, just what he is. Your insinuation is absurd for the following reasons, among many: He has delivered the best economy, with the best job statistics for all groups in the U.S. ever. That is directly attributable to his pro-business platform large tax cut, his elimination of unnecessary regulations and bureaucracies, and ending very bad trade agreements that work to the detriment of the U.S. He has been instrumental, with Russia, in eliminating ISIS from its swathes of stolen land in Syria. Do you have any idea why some CEO's don't support him? Unless, you agree with some getting extremely rich on the backs of cheap labor, you couldn't possible disagree with his major initiative to end outsourcing and exploitive insourcing for cheap labor. Outsourcing and insourcing have a major downward push on wages and eliminate jobs. Many CEO's who lack leadership skills and innovation, want those kinds of profits to increase. How about the borders. If you are a globalist, then you would not agree with him on his immigration policies. So you think it is a good idea to have open borders to allow any illegals into a country, most of whom do not speak the language, have no education, no financial means and no work skills. It is not the job of U.S. taxpayers to support the dispossessed of the world. You must have taken math at sometime in your life. What on earth do you think will happen to a country that continues to have high, net annual immigration. The country will be economically and societally destroyed? That leads us to sanctuary cities, something Trump is adamantly against. So you think it is just great to ruin cities with unemployed illegals, criminal illegals, allowing them to run free in sanctuary cities. What on earth would your children think about that? Have you even watched the documentaries on the state of San Francisco, LA, Portland and Seattle -- sanctuary cities. If that's what you want for a country, then heaven help you. Right now there is a huge trend to the right all over the world. Why? They do not want globalism and all the destruction it entails. Also, the left ha been overtaken by demands of socialism from young people who were never taught history and don't remember the bread lines in the USSR, let alone know about the Gulag. Europe has been ruined with migrants, many now living in no-go zones, whom the people never wanted. People in the streets of France, Canada and the UK are calling for Trump. Do you understand economics? Have you any idea about the negative consequences of long running trade deficits that President Trump is trying to turn around to negotiate fair trade deals? I have yet to meet someone who spouts irrational hatred for President Trump who knows anything about his platform, his policies, the reasons for them and the results. That is a shocking state of affairs. Why do they hate Trump yet have no idea about his platform? Because they glean their news from the mainstream liberal media, that spews 24/7 hatred against him, because they decided to get in bed with the devil -- the Democrats and the coup mongers among them. They spewed absolute lies about Russian/Trump collusion for more than two years. Luckily the tide has turned, and you can guaranty they are lawyering up. The sentences for treason are long. The media agreements to collude as a political arm of the Democrats was unearthed in their own emails. The loss of professional journalism is one of the most serious crises we face today. The tragedy about it is that the media is exploiting less informed people, such as you. They have no idea that Trump's policies so closely align with their wishes, wants and needs.

  2224. @Mimi Mc -- Too much Russia for you? There is not one ounce of evidence of any Russian collusion on the part of Donald Trump. Russians interfering with the election? Hillary Clinton bought and paid for a phoney Russian dossier, filled with false information about President Trump. She paid over $12 million dollars for it. It was used to illegally obtain a warrant to spy on Donald Trump and his team. This is not hearsay or speculation. It is backed up by actual evidence. "Flynn a foreign agent"? What on earth are you talking about? Flynn was paid for several speeches to Russian organizations in 2015, long before he was even involved on President Trump's team. Fees were around $11,000 and one for approximately $30,000, I believe. He was retired and free to make those speeches. We were not at war with Russia. The USSR collapsed ages ago. The Russians paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for a speech. Can you imagine? What speech is worth $500,000. The difference is that his speech was a pay-for-play. They paid him such an outrageous amount, because the Russians had a goal to purchase precious U.S. uranium supplies, and his wife, as Secretary of State, was in a position to enable that. But that wasn't the half of it. The Russians and associated individuals through various corrupt back doors paid the Clinton Foundation $145 million, and voila, Hillary Clinton approved the sale of 20% of America's precious uranium supplies to Russia. Jared Kushner was wrongly accused of setting up a back channel with Russia. He never did any such thing. I suggest you start going further than the mainstream media for your information. It is so dangerous when people get twisted or half news and don't have the wherewithal to find out the facts. Your comment is an example of just that.

  2282. Whatever the amount, the US GAVE it to Zelensky with circular money paths back to US accounts. It was not handed out in loans (that would never have been repaid anyway). Biden handed it over willingly on behalf of the US, many Republican neocons on board. The US leaders invited the green goblin into the Congress for applause, praise and idolization; as officials and millions of Americans tagged their names with the Ukrainian flag; fired Russians from their jobs and vilified them. Trump, unfortunately, inherited this mess; however, his proposed one-sided deal angles away from his calls for fair dealing with foreign countries. His refusal to admit the US's role in starting this war and funding the death and destruction, plays into US unipolarism, a non-starter in today's world. Any Western CEO would be remiss in his fiduciary duty, if he agreed to develop mineral deposits in Ukraine for the profits to be put into a US government fund. Peace through Strength in this case should not be misguided strength, but the courage to walk away, cognizant of the US's role in the death and destruction of Ukraine; and negotiate on the basis of Putin's terms that are not disadvantageous to the US. The families of over 500,000 unwilling Ukrainian conscripts - sent to the front at SBU gunpoint - are more deserving of the profits from Ukrainian mineral deposits than Americans who did not demonstrate against the war, but then voted to END it; not get mired down in attempting to recoup sunk costs.

  2335.  @michaelmason2227  Such a myth that Trump does best with uneducated voters. The most informed voters with whom I have spoken during the Trump election and administration have been, without reservation, Republicans/conservatives. In fact it's a subject that has fascinated me for a long time. I got involved with politics in a big way for one reason: Hillary Clinton. To make sure this highly corrupt woman never became president. I have followed her for a very long time -- prior to Arkansas, when a democrat fired her. In his words, "“She was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.” What was the icing on the cake? She stole exculpatory evidence and hid it in her house so the other side would not see it. Particularly, as she was practicing law, that should have been the end of any public office for her. I was always astounded that women in particular would support this woman (she has been a long-time enabler of serial sexual abuse), so I made a point of asking questions. I discovered they knew absolutely nothing about her record or her platform. They supported her because she was a woman. After Trump was elected, and the women marched the next day, I hit their trails to ask questions. I discovered they knew absolutely nothing about Trump's business life (other than The Apprentice), but more importantly, knew nothing about his platform and goals. They simply spewed HRC/CNN et al totally unsubstantiated lies and absurdities of racist and fascist. I also discovered they knew absolutely nothing about Clinton. Today, I live with die-hard left-wing democrats/liberals. They glean their news from the likes of CNN. They don't have a clue about the political scene today -- about the attempted coup, but they loathe Trump with a passion. When I ask for specifics they cannot supply them. They vote. It's not just anti-Trump propaganda that they have soaked up from exploitive fake media, but it is also their total lack of understanding of economics, finance and business. When democrats advocate socialism, massive government, equality of outcome, identity politics, open borders, continuous high net annual legal and illegal immigration, sanctuary cities with services courtesy of taxpayers, affirmative action and racism in place of meritocracy, that is highly ignorant. Many who think of themselves as mainstream liberals have no idea that politics have turned upside down. Liberalism is no longer classical liberalism, Except of huge government, the principals of equal opportunity, equal rights, anti-racism, striving for the best etc. is solely on the conservative side. Why do you think so many CEO's of large organizations don't support Trump? Because he is adamantly against exploitive outsourcing and insourcing of cheap labor. These CEO's want to maintain the status quo at any cost to fill their money pockets on the backs of cheap labor. The Trump Republican Party is the party of the people: the best possible economic conditions, the most freedom without interference from the government, low taxes, etc. That is why he is so popular. He relates to them. The tragedy is that they have no idea his platform and policies so closely correlate with their desires, wants and needs. They are so consumed with hatred, they end up supporting the party that couldn't care less about their desires, wants and needs, a party consumed with overpopulating the country and taxing them to the hilt to keep themselves in power.

  2348.  Sukan  So you think the following is bad: The best economy in the U.S. for all ethnic groups EVER, directly as a result of Trump's pro-business policies, tax cuts, negotiating skills, vehement distaste for the exploitive outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor to fill the pockets of greedy executives, that keep wages low and destroy jobs is bad. Trump, the first president ever to make any headway with a North Korean leader and bring home American prisoners from that country without any payment or quid pro quo is bad. The excellent relationship Trump has with the PM of Japan, resulting in a great bilateral trade agreement is bad. The excellent relationship Trump has with Zelensky, despite Zelensky's pro-Russia position, is bad. That relationship is paramount for ending corruption in Ukraine and any corruption that has taken place between the Obama Administration and corrupt Ukraine officials. Did you know that the Obama Administration was squarely behind overthrowing a duly elected Ukrainian president, and inserting its (Victoria Nuland's) choices for high government positions in Ukraine. Negotiations to end the continuous high trade deficit with China, stop that country's theft of American technology and end its currency manipulation practices to gain in trade at the expense of America are bad. Continuous high trade deficits are extremely bad for a country. They lower wages, eliminate jobs. China's currency manipulation is extremely bad for Americans, American jobs, and the American economy. You think the following is good. An attempted Democrat coup (now overwhelmingly proven) again President Trump and the Government of the U.S. is a great thing in a democratic republic. Every decent, ethical person -- republican, democrat, independent, apolitical, religious, atheist -- should be outraged by what has happened. The Democrat who has the guts to do the right thing and thoroughly condemn this attempted coup and the harassment against President Trump and his supporters, insist that those culpable be charged, tried and sent to prison, and that the party clean itself up and return to classical liberalism, will have a chance of being president in 2024, but only if he/she grows some ethics and does that NOW. A press that disgustingly exploits people like you by twisting facts, ignoring facts that don't fit its agenda, not challenging outrageous comments and lies from contributors, presenting opinion as news, relentlessly criticizes a president, despite his many really significant accomplishments Sanctuary cities where criminals and illegal migrants are protected and where drug addicts and pushers leave their vile needles and human waste on the streets is a great thing. Open borders for one-way illegal migration to flow into the country is a great thing. Do you have any idea what such continuous numbers of illegals, most without the background to contribute to U.S. society, will do to the U.S.? It will corrupt the country and taxpayers. Is that what you want for your family. I could go on and on, but my guess is that you not only don't know the facts about these issue, but also that you have never heard of many of the issues. Go do some homework, start following reputable news sites, and make damn sure you know what you are supporting and the effect it will most surely have on you and your family. And when you are pondering these facts, think about how you would handle relentless and false criticisms against you, slander against you, name calling against you, attacks on your family, all relentless and vile. You wouldn't like it, would you? In fact you wouldn't be able to handle it.

  2381. @Adam T - Mueller cannot subpoena the president. Now, I suggest you tell us exactly what President Trump has done to warrant a special counsel to investigate him. Don't answer something like, "he colluded with the Russians." That is no answer; that is mainstream-media parrot speak. Tell us specifically with details and evidence, what he has done. Then we will debate you. The special counsel is illegal. To create a special counsel there must be evidence of a crime. No crime has been committed. It was created, by a team of civil-servant democrats planning a coup, on the basis of a phoney dossier, filled with ridiculous lies about Trump, bought and paid for by no other than Hillary Clinton for over $12 million, through the DNC that she owned and controlled, and laundered through a highly unethical law firm. It was concocted by a discredited, former foreign spy, apparently from unnamed, unverified Russian sources, with a strong suggestion that her own smear agents had input into the false narratives. This false dossier was then used illegally to subversively obtain warrants to spy on Donald Trump and his team. Talk about interference with an election and ill-legality! You want to talk about law and order? Let's do that. A democrat fired Hillary Clinton from one of her first stints as a lawyer on the Watergate Commission. He fired her for, in his words, being "an unethical, dishonest lawyer and a liar." As she was practicing law at the time, that should have been the end of any public career for her, yet people who don't care about decency and ethics thought she was suitable to be president. What had she done? During discovery, when it came time for opposing lawyers to exchange information, she stole relevant information and hid it in her house, so the other side would not see it. She went on to be true to that democrat's description of her. Her political career is full of documented scandals and wrong-doings, culminating in a private server over which highly classified material was sent (felony), lying to congress about her server, emails and Benghazi (felonies), and tampering with and destroying subpoenaed evidence (felony). She then went on to accuse Donald Trump of Russian collusion, when it was she, who was at the centre of an attempted coup, involving participation from hazy, unsourced Russians (felony and in my view treason). How about immigration and sanctuary cities? Do you, so intent on law and order, agree with releasing illegals and criminal illegals into the community with impunity? Do you have children? Have you seen and read about the state of California today, particularly San Francisco? Is that what you want for yourself and your children? For altruists, open borders sounds fine and lovely; however, for open borders to work, the flows must be both ways; otherwise the destination countries will be economically choked off, and the former countries will die in mediocrity and chaos. If countries involved in open immigration are not on a par economically and socially (which is the case today), then the flows will always be towards the better-off countries, ultimately imploding them financially, economically and socially. Is that what you want? Do you respect the kind of "law and order" that allows that to happen? As for front-end law and order, I suggest you start watching police videos of traffic stops and arrests. Not bystanders' videos that may be cut, but the police videos that are not edited. The internet is full of them. They quickly reveal the antics of the left to demean and even falsely accuse police. The antics are, frankly, shocking and disgraceful. If you have any decency in you and care about ethics, then have the courage to face what is happening on the left, condemn it, and insist that things change; otherwise, if this extreme left movement wins, we will see Venezuela looming in the U.S.A., and we will have all those who chose to ignore the reality to thank for that.

  2432. @adrianna donato - I urge you to expand your understanding of the hijab. I can assure you that most Islamic women are at threat of denunciation, community anger, ostracism and even death, if they do not wear their hijabs. It is a cultural thing perpetuated by men as a symbol of religion, as the men conveniently leave themselves out of the antiquated and sexist expectation. That is always the comeback: It is their choice. Interesting how no non-Muslims choose such medieval head coverings. They are so indoctrinated into this abhorrent custom, that not wearing hijabs produces discomfort and alienation in their communities. Rather than be subjected to such risk, they "choose" to wear them. Before the advent of acid attacks, I would ask couples about it. When I saw a man, dressed in the latest trends, sunglasses tucked into his designer T-shirt, walking with a woman, either in hijab, or covered from head to toe -- often on sweltering hot days -- I would ask the man why his woman was dressed like that. The reply was always that they must because god demands it. Quite the sexist god, demanding that only half of his flock so demean themselves. The day I see men walking down the street in hijabs will be the day I will consider reviewing my distaste of this vile custom. More vile, in my opinion, when I see young children wearing them -- most certainly not their choice. Unfortunately, with the spread of Islamist movements, the hijab has become a political statement. Politically motivated women choose to wear the hijab in support of these anti-Western movements that advocate the ouster of kafirs and the establishment of caliphates, where non-Muslims will not be welcomed -- treated like second class citizens, if they survive. The only difference among the various Islamist factions is how to reach their caliphate goals: using democracy to obtain leadership, political and high government positions, then dismantling democracy; or by outright destabilization of countries through terror and war. So many of these movements operate in Western countries, while they hypocritically enjoy the Western benefits that they are so intent on tearing down. It is important that all people understand the origins, distortions and dangers of such antiquated customs and religions. It is more important that people, especially women, call them for what they are. Unfortunately, that will take longer. On that note, time for a shout out of support for the few Muslim women who have that courage at great risk to their lives. I urge you to find out about them and read what they have to say.

  2462. @Angela Siegfried. Judging by your YT home page, you are someone who appreciates nature and relaxation -- or maybe is in dire need of both. So, it's extremely strange that someone who appreciates or needs those aspects of life, without a hint of empathy, would turn around and suggest that innocent until proven guilty only applies in a court of law. Stop for a moment and consider what you are saying: By extrapolation, if you apply for a job that someone who dislikes you doesn't want you to get, it would be just fine for that person to simply accuse you of some heinous crime, say sexual assault, or even just theft, without any evidence whatsoever. Their accusation would make you guilty, because you are not in a court of law, so the sacrosanct principles of the requirement for evidence and presumption of innocence until proven guilty would not apply. It would be just fine for the executives of that company to side with your accuser, publicly interview you, condemn you for something you did not do, add other "crimes and misdemeanors," such as your having a few drinks years ago, and not only decline to hire you, but also make sure you are found guilty by the wider "court" of public opinion, in essence destroying your life. The way the presumption of innocence works is that an accused person is presumed innocent, unless they are eventually proved guilty in a court of law. The presumption of innocence precedes the court case. Now about this "job interview." The job of the Senate is to "advise and consent." Brett Kavanaugh has already been appointed to the Supreme Court by the president. The job of the Senate is to advise and consent on that appointment, both of which should be done with reason and intelligence and based on his work and accomplishments. It is not an interview and most certainly not a public interview. The notion of the low-information types whose astonishingly ignorant comments I have been reading would be interviewing a top legal scholar is absurd to put it mildly. Consent must be based on fact and evidence; nothing less. In fact, I put it to you that from now on, the advise and consent sessions should be held behind closed doors. I suggest you use your intelligence and seek further information; actually listen to Brett Kavanaugh's and Dr. Ford's testimonies, with reason and intelligence, to figure out whether he lied, whether she lied (now confirmed that she apparently did) or whether highly politically active "journalists" and politicians are attempting to plant false information. Ms. Ford cannot remember when or where the incident happened, how she got there or got home. She said nothing for over thirty years, but, as a known anti-Trumper, coincidentally chose this opportune time to make her accusations. She edited notes to fit her accusations. She lied about a fear of flying. We now know that she lied under oath about ever helping someone over a polygraph. All the witnesses she named have adamantly refuted her claims, including her best friend at the time. She chose to bring her charges to a political forum, instead of to the police. She cannot remember if just a couple of weeks ago she let the journalist see her therapist's notes or whether she gave the journalist her own summary. She refuses to hand over those notes, even though she says they are key "evidence." She hired lawyers known for anti-Trump activism. He on the other hand could refute her claims through a diary he kept at the time. Deciding that he is lying, while she is not is ridiculous. I sincerely hope you will rethink your statements and start to look at political issues in a different and fair way, based on facts and evidence (yes, that means researching and understanding the issues), not on emotional outcries of extreme political operatives, because if such nasty, vicious, unlawful, unethical charades as we have just witnessed against Judge Kavanaugh are allowed to continue, then we as a decent society are doomed. Fine for Judge Kavanaugh? Then you could be next! The appalling judgement circus we have just watched

  2529. ​@John Hoyle My continued response to your puerile, unsubstantiated, hate-filled, bullying comment: Impeachment One As the initial Obama/Biden FBI plot against President Trump was exposed with details and failed, they moved on to a second try: an impeachment. Presidents can be impeached if they commit crimes. In this case, no crime was committed. They plotted to find one. At the centre of the plot were Eric Ci*ara*me*lla and Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the former hiding as a whistleblower, so he could not be named, questioned or accused; the latter a military insurrectionist against his Commander-in-Chief. There was a time when such insurrection from someone in the military (in uniform) would have been charged and sentenced to prison for a very long time. They found their excuse in a phone call the president made to the president of Ukraine and attempted to make it look seditious. They did not count on President Trump releasing the transcript that showed it was a perfectly acceptable conversation between two leaders. Why the Ukraine? The Obama Administration and individuals involved in the plot were stakeholders in the Ukraine, either by virtue of their careers around Ukraine dissing Russia and joining the EU and NATO, or by virtue of their deep regime-change corruption in the Ukraine, including the Maidan Coup. They were afraid Trump's policies would put an end to their ill-gotten benefits in the Ukraine. At first Adam Schiff held a secret court in the Capitol basement. Something unheard of under the US justice system. Once he had been cajoled into bringing his witnesses above ground, all were exposed as being deeply biased and in some cases involved in the Ukrainian corruption. On cross-examination, every single one of them admitted they knew of no adverse actions on the part of Trump; that they were basing their testimony on rumors and hearsay. The impeachment, an obvious set up, was a massive failure. It did bring to light Joe Biden's corruption, through his son, Hunter Biden, in the Ukraine. That corruption had already been exposed by credible investigative reporters years before; however, there was no smoking-gun document, proving that Hunter was the bagman, Joe Biden the receiver of riches. The information on Hunter Biden's laptop produced that smoking gun; however, Democrats, with the assistance of Big Tech censored it before the election, so that Biden voters would not know. You should be outraged about that too. Impeachment Two All intelligent people know the 2020 election was rigged. Some, too fearful to fight against such fraud; others, taking advantage of it. Democrats threw ethics to the wind and joined the insurrectionists. Cowardly RINOs abandoned President Trump. Big Tech, with no objection from inept, incompetent leaders, censored and silenced President Trump. Totalitarianism had left the starting gate. None had the guts to object to a banana-republic election. Aware of the huge popularity of President Trump, Democrats sought to silence him forever, prevent him from returning in another presidential race. If they could successfully impeach him they could prevent his returning. All their other plots had failed. Just one remaining stretch. Accuse him of inciting a riot against the Capitol. As I have already mentioned, that accusation, too, was full of holes. They lost again. In summary, two attempted impeachments. Two failures. But the march goes on. Democrat attorneys are still busy sifting for a crime with which to charge President Trump. Continued....

  2531.  @loaf3833  Capitalist welfare state is an oxymoron. The Scandinavian countries are capitalist countries with generous state benefits. State benefits are funded through the taxes of those who are funded by capitalism. By the way, those countries are starting to face problems because of the government benefits. Sweden already had to reverse course, as it was heading for bankruptcy under its socialism. All capitalist economies today are mixed economies, including the US which pays more for government healthcare than any other country. Trump's tax cuts were universal, not just for the rich. On a broader note, why on earth should the rich, who supply the jobs for the rest, pay a larger percentage of taxes? Without the rich, the unemployment rate would be horrendous. Having said that, I do believe the growing division between rich and the rest of us is a huge problem. One of the major contributing factors of that division is the exploitative outsourcing/insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down. Democrats fought Trump at every turn as he created initiatives to combat that destruction. Biden has reversed all his actions to curb that exploitation. A second contributing factor is the encroachment of big government and the wild creation of money, Biden having created over $6 trillion in less than 100 days. Are you prepared for the consequences of that? Many Democrats are totally unaware of the 180-degree turn the Democrat Party has taken to the left. They believe it is still a party of classical liberalism. Their unawareness is an example of the grave dangers of a politically partnered, corrupt media and the loss of professional journalism. Those who get their news from the mainstream media don't have a clue about what has happened or what is going on. I know, because I have spoken to dozens of them. Examples of parallels of the tactics used in 1930s Germany and the Democrat Party today, all of which have been actions of Democrats or supported by Democrats: censorship; silencing opponents; attacking opponents; falsely indicting opponents; taking business and jobs away from opponents; firing those with different political opinions; burning or banning books; propaganda masquerading as news; slander and libel throughout the news; false news to match a political narrative; corrupt government and media working together; indoctrination of school and university students; universities no longer tolerating free speech or differing political opinions; rioting (attacking, killing, smashing, destroying, burning, occupying, looting); re-education camps for conservatives (suggested by senior counsel of PBS and mainstream media); discrimination on the basis of skin color (Critical Race Theory); cooperation of big corporations and totalitarian government (fascism); politicization of science. You sound like an intelligent person. You surely don't believe Biden, riddled with dementia, is pulling the strings. Who do you think is running the Biden Regime? Or is it just a loose cabal of leftists each pushing their own agendas, creating the worst political mess in US history. AP and Reuters not biased? I suggest you read between the lines of anything they publish. I have not watched TV in over 20 years. I have learned, especially during the corruption of the Democrat Party during the Trump Administration to be extremely careful about news. I get my news directly from the sources, through sworn testimony (court cases and congress); original documents; leaked documents; court cases, the few remaining, credible professional journalists & reputable alternative media outlets; events on the ground as they happen on video with no voice or biased overlay; official economic statistics, etc. When Trump announced his run for the president, I was neutral about him. As a business person, I had followed his ups and downs in business for years, but was uncertain about him as a politician; however, a major trigger for my interest in politics was to do everything possible to ensure Hillary Clinton, the most corrupt politician in US history, never becomes president. When the media is over the top with negativity, slander and libel about a candidate, intelligent people know something is wrong. I started watching Trump's rallies. His platform made economic, business and social sense. He explained it with reasons why. It was totally opposite from the media's reporting of it. I became a Trump follower. It didn't take me long, from highly reputable sources, to discover the FBI plot and corruption against President Trump. Einstein once commented on all the evil in the world but warned that more evil are those who do nothing about it. Those plots were evil. I started to actively attack the deep Democrat corruption and sedition against President Trump. That should be a given for all decent people, no matter whether they are Democrats or Republicans. An example of a committed Democrat who is now fighting the Democrat totalitarianism is Alan Dershowitz. If just one of the Democrat primary candidates had, had the guts to outright condemn the Democrat sedition against President Trump, demand that the culpable be prosecuted, and that the party clean itself up before moving on, that person would have had a supreme chance of becoming a functioning (albeit left-leaning) president). Not one had that courage. Instead, they chose Biden, and it is very simple to guess why. No intelligent person votes for such corruption to be returned to power. By the way, I used to be an Obama fan. Why, as a conservative, a topic for another thread. His administration turned out to be the most corrupt in US history. Biden's record is riddled in corruption (foreign influence peddling). Now his dementia has overtaken his corruption. He's just doing what he is being told to do by a left-wing cabal determined to bring neoliberalism and socialism to America. Susan Rice?

  2537.  @MidnightJerry  How old are you Jerzy? If you live in the U.S., you are experiencing the best economy ever, with the best employment statistics for all groups, directly as a result of President Trump's business platform, reduced taxes, elimination of pointless, bureaucratic regulations and a change in direction on trade deficits. Where have you been? Are you not aware that a Democrat coup was attempted against President Trump, and the Democrats in congress are the ones that are lying -- they don't want to be found out, and they are puppets of wealthy donors and CEO's who don't support President Trump because he is against open borders and the exploitive outsourcing and insourcing of cheap labor, which the donors and CEO's want to continue to fill their pockets on the backs of cheap labor. So if you are for better wages you better make damn sure you take notice of what President Trump says. Your comment is sad. Why? It's an example of some very troubling trends. The outcome of the loss of professional journalism in the liberal mainstream media. Most troubling about that loss is the vile exploitation of lesser informed people, such as you, who apparently do not have the wherewithal or academic background to find out, through research and questioning, what is actually going on in the world. Instead believing in the political narratives and lies of the mainstream media. That in turn is extremely troubling, because, so far, there is no test of knowledge before someone can vote.

  2539.  George Arndt  Clueless on foreign policy? Did you take the time to even read the summary of the Obama Iran deal, let alone the full agreement? Of course not. Had you done that, you would know that it was alarmingly dangerous and needed to be thrown out, which President Trump did. It paved the way for nuclear war in the Middle East. Iran is the largest funder and ally of ISIS and other Islamist groups. You on board with that? Did you take the time to read just the main points of the TPP agreement, which President Trump threw out? Of course not. Had you done that, you would have understood the dangers of unelected, foreign committees and human rights tribunals interfering with American life. Do you understand the dangers of continuous trade deficits. Of course not. It appears you would prefer a continuing deficit with China that drains American currency, eliminates jobs and reduces wages. Trump is marching off to war? What war would that be. Did you dream it. Last I knew his policy and actions have been to withdraw troops from both Afghanistan and Syria. It appears you would prefer Obama's foreign policy and war mongering, courtesy of Hillary Clinton. I suggest you read about her actions in the Middle East, particularly in Syria and Libya, creating civil war, chaos, death, destruction and the worst crisis in Europe since WW2. Saudi Arabia has been an ally of the U.S. for decades through all presidents of our lifetime. Let's talk about Venezuela. The people of Venezuela love President Trump because of he is supporting their battle to kick out the corrupt thug, Maduro. The prime minister of Japan and President Trump are now good friends. President Xi of China and Trump disagree on trade, but they greatly respect each other. Xi was pretty damned impressed that Ivanka's children speak Mandarin. President Trump, the first president to make difficult headway with President Kim Jong-un of North Korea -- with the potential to create peace on the Korean Peninsula -- that is huge. The only leaders Trump has no time for are globalists: Macron, Trudeau, May (now gone). Anyway, enough is enough. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about, don't appear to do much research or keep up with the facts. My guess. You spend hours listening to the fake liberal mainstream media. You are parroting their political agendas.

  2540. Do you even know the reasons for this invasion? A major reason is for Russia to stop the shelling of the Donbass by the Ukrainian Azov Militia and Ukrainian Army. To date they have killed over 14,000 Russian, men, women and children in the Donbass. Putin's aim is to defeat that militia to stop the shelling. He called for diplomacy to address the issue, but Biden refused. Instead Biden turned the knife and imposed treacherous personal, economic and banking sanctions designed to shred a nation -- that is the Russian people. Biden's treachery couldn't be more depraved. But Biden's treachery is backfiring. His threats against Russia resulted in the formation of the Russia-China alliance. With one stroke that alliance has ended US geopolitical world dominance. A new Eurasian trading and banking block has formed (Russia, China, India, Eurasia and other countries) - a huge block leaving the US and Europe out in the cold. Energy markets are already in chaos. It has resulted in the end of the US Petro Dollar and the US$ as the world's reserve currency. That means huge inflation, massive drop in the value of the dollar, and very tough economic times for the US and its allies. Germany is at risk of collapsing as a result of the actions against Russia. It is a very good idea to be informed about issues before making pronouncements. This war is not about big, bad Russia, poor little Ukraine. In fact it is the opposite, with huge culpability on the part of the US, particularly Biden. The US has been interfering in Ukraine for 8 years, 3 of which Zelensky has been president. They have done nothing for Ukraine, running it into the ground. It is a morally and economically bankrupt country, run by deeply corrupt oligarchs (one of them, the handler of Zelensky) and relying on foreign aid, much of it siphoned into US bank accounts (Hunter Biden's no-show job on the board of Burisma for $83,000 per month & Joe Biden's bribery corruption in that regard, being one very small example of the Biden corruption in Ukraine).

  2619. @El Gringo -- Did you know that the accusations of a bevy of women against Trump were debunked within days by actual witnesses and ethical investigative journalists who still practice professional journalism outside the mainstream news. To make matters worse, some of these women were actually paid by a liberal lawyer to make their accusations, and others were represented by Gloria Allred, a long-time significant supporter of, and donor to, Hillary Clinton. She should have been disbarred years ago for gross conflicts of interest. To use some of your words, "Never in a million years" would one have thought that opposition politicians and the mainstream news would drop to the level of attempting to demean and oust a candidate over filth emanating from the leader of fake news and outright lies, the National Enquirer. Of course, your statement tells us right away that Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton would be off limits for you. Bill Clinton an impeached president, who has a documented and verified record of being a serial sexual abuser . Hillary Clinton, a disgraced candidate, who has a documented and verified record of being a long-time enabler of a serial sexual abuser. Anyone who has ever supported either of the Clintons has forever lost any credibility in ever protesting against sexual dalliances or sexual abuse. Mexico, Central America and South America are rife with political corruption scandals, as one leader after another falls from power under a halo of scandals and corruption affecting every single citizen of the respective countries as they fall into economic chaos. Perhaps an honest leader with sound economic principles and courage who had engaged in a little on the side would have been much, much better. Meanwhile President Trump has delivered the best U.S. economy ever, with the lowest unemployment rates for African Americans and Hispanics ever, the lowest unemployment rates for women and youth in decades, the highest employment rate ever, the best stock market ever....The surge in the economy is a direct result of President Trump's pro-business platform, tax cuts, elimination of useless regulations that protect no one, stand against outsourcing that eliminates jobs and lowers wages, stand against insourcing that exploits foreign labor with rock bottom wages and lowers wages generally, initiatives to deliver fair trade (continuous high trade deficits, as in the U.S., eliminates jobs, cuts into GDP, sends business and cash overseas. I could go on and on. Let's hope that long before a million years voters become informed enough to learn what is important and what is not; learn how to detect fake news and do their own research, while insisting that professional journalism once again become the standard. Without professional journalism, there can be no democracy. We are already seeing the US tumble into chaos and dysfunctional democracy, as the left attempts to stop free speech; as left politicians blatantly call for violence against conservatives; as cowardly liberal politicians turn a blind eye to the violence of terrorist groups such as Antifa (many supported by Soros) and the calls for socialism from students who never learned the facts of socialism in dumbed-down liberal universities.

  2678. @Stefan Tagwerker - Professional Journalism: Objective: Reports the news objectively, including news that may be contra to the journalist's own goals and opinions. The mainstream media simply does not report Trump's accomplishments, or puts a negative spin on them. During his campaign, they ignored his momentum and touted Hillary Clinton; hence, their shocking surprise when he won. Example: They did not cover the Hispanic rally where Hillary Clinton was chased away. They did not report on the obvious ill-health of Hillary Clinton. The mainstream media has not been reporting objectively, and mostly not at all, about the attempted coup against President Trump. That is frightening in its implications. Checks all sources and facts before reporting the news: The retractions for inaccurate news or outright false news in the mainstream media are growing exponentially. An example is the doctored Time Magazine cover with the young child and Trump, as a statement against separating children from their illegal-immigrant families or minders (an aspect of children at the border also not reported on). During the presidential campaign, the mainstream media pounded out the accusations of various women against President Trump. Within days these accusations were debunked by reputable investigative journalists in the alternative press and actual witnesses, yet the mainstream media kept barking out these false accusations. They did not report that the lawyer of some of them is a known, significant Clinton supporter and donor who should have been disbarred for gross conflict of interest. They did not report that another lawyer had actually paid accusers. Never colludes with a political party to report in favor of it. The mainstream media was caught red-handed colluding with the DNC/Hillary Clinton to report favorably about her and even to have their stories checked by them first! They were caught through their own emails leaked to Wikileaks, the leaker now known to be no on other than one of their own -- also not reported by the mainstream news. Putting opinions dressed up as news -- every day occurrence on the fake mainstream news. I have just rattled some examples off the cuff. It goes on and on, and it is nothing short of shameful.

  2679. Ouch, Stef, have you ever been blind sided. I have been watching CNN in the last few days responding to the Strzok hearing, the FIFA application release, Trump's meeting with Putin, and the need to take security clearances from those who are no long working in their government jobs. CNN's reporting on all these issues has been blood-curdling, highly twisted, blatantly misleading and false, and deeply shameful. Hannity has done a great and accurate job in reporting the attempted coup. I know it has been accurate, because I have been following that coup since way before all the focus on it. Frankly, if you want to know what is going on in the world today, you have to find out from the alternative news on the internet. Some great and reputable reporters and commentators. Also, Lou Dobbs, although obviously and admittedly conservative, is a great source if you want to find out what is really going on. He is quick to criticize conservatives and President Trump when necessary. One of the most troubling situations right now is not just the attempted coup, but the Democrats' and fake mainstream media's attempts to mitigate or deny the subversion and in some cases support it. That should shock the living daylight out of anyone who considers him/herself ethical and decent. Decent democrats should have the courage to face what has happened (the attempted coup and completely irrational hatred against President Trump), condemn it outright, demand that the operatives and party be cleaned out, then move forward with a fresh, ethical face. By the way, I don't watch TV. Only the internet. I see what goes on in the fake news, because their appalling narratives and fake coverage are posted on the internet for everyone to see. I watched Anderson Cooper's venomous response to Trump's meeting with Putin (an essential meeting for two nuclear powers) in a restaurant. Anderson Cooper was so transparently venomous against Trump, I asked the restaurant to turn off the appalling outlet. It did.

  2726. ​ @drjerry5389  I don't know anything about any corporations requiring employees to agree not to boycott Israel and its products. Sounds incredibly bizarre! Show us the evidence! As far as Israel is concerned, it has a hard and standard rule. Its military is a DEFENSIVE military. It never proactively attacks, but it will respond to attacks against it. Support of Israel is most certainly not exclusive to right wingers. A disturbing number of left-wingers do want to erase Israel and support Hamas, a terrorist organization. I spoke to some of these individuals when they were demonstrating in support of Hamas. I discovered, without exception, they were totally uninformed about the issues and history of Israel and Palestine. My thoughts. Whether one agrees with the creation of Israel in 1948 or not, it is there to stay - not going anywhere anytime soon or ever. Addressing issues as they are NOW (versus as they were in the past) is essential for solving problems. Palestinians clamoring for Israel to be erased, proactively hurling rockets into Israel, and screaming and whining about its creation is a losing proposition and, in my view, abuse against Palestinian children. The funds, time and energy would be much better spent properly educating children (I have watched live videos of the hatred they are being taught in second-rate schools), improving the Palestinian economy and infrastructure, and lastly removing religion from politics and interacting with Israel to create peace, as other Middle Eastern countries have started to do under the agreements carved out under the Trump Administration.

  2735.  @jimbrew4529  Sad thing is that if I were to ask you for details about why Putin is a thug in your eyes, you would not be able to answer with credibility and evidence. I have come across this kind of blind thuggery, libel, misinformation and vicious innuendos that you are employing every time I have asked Democrats to be specific about their hatred. They just shout the slander they have heard on CNN and MSNBC, two Democrat goebbelsian propaganda arms. Do you know how ridiculous you make yourself look, calling President Trump "Putin's Poodle" when he did absolutely nothing positive for Russian/American relations. No doubt you still have Hillary Clinton's fabrication on your mind -- missed it's being totally discredited. During her presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton, apparently on the advice of her smear agent, Sidney Blumenthal, made up a lie about Russian/Trump collusion to detract from her email scandal. How do we know? John Brennan, head of the CIA at the time, briefed Obama about it. That briefing has been released to the public. She then funded a false dossier to back up her lies, that was used to defraud the FISA court to illegally obtain warrants to spy on innocent Americans in the hope of bringing down Trump through them. How do we know? Her laundered funds were traced from the DNC, through her law firm, Perkins Coie, on to smear agents, Fusion GPS, who were colluding with a former British spy who hated Trump to produce the false dossier. How do we know the dossier was false? The seditious former British spy, Christopher Steele's main source for the dossier, Igor Danchenko, a suspected Russian spy, who worked with the liberal-left think tank, the Brookings Institute, told us so in sworn testimony under FBI questioning and through documents presented in a European Court Case. Documents in Alpha Bank's lawsuit have now also been presented, indicating that not one of the supposed sub-sources for the false dossier had anything to do with it.

  2760. OMG, Kissinger doesn't have the first clue: Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea have voted overwhelmingly to join Russia. There is no need for another referendum. Appears this old man has no idea about one of the main reasons for Russia's SMO: to end the Ukrainian genocide against Donetsk and Luhansk, after the US/West refused diplomacy to end that genocide and US/NATO aggression. Why on earth should Russia concede to Ukraine entering NATO, especially after the history, since the NATO Bucharest summit in 2008. Hints about why the plan is ridiculous: US-initiated Maidan Coup. Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians, while the US shadow government was interfering in Ukraine. US/NATO funding, weaponizing of Ukraine. US/NATO forces actively engaged in hostilities against Russia, usking Ukraine as a proxy battlefield. US/West support of nazi forces in Ukraine. US/UK/EU admitted goal to tear Russia apart. Angela Merkel's admitting that Germany and France had no intention of honoring the Minsk Agreement, but rather signed as guarantors to create more time to arm Ukraine. Pushing NATO into Ukraine, is brushing Russia's concerns under the carpet. Kherson and Zaparosia have voted overwhelmingly to join Russia, a UN right of self-determination. Obviously Kissinger has not been following this war carefully. Apparently he has no idea why they do not want to be part of Ukraine. Hint: Official Ukrainian apartheid policies against Russian-Ukrainians; harassment and sporadic attacks of Azov against civilians in Mariupol BEFORE current conflict; consistent and methodical Ukrainian attacks against civilians during the current hostilities.

  2848. Epstein was no friend of President Trump. He knew him, of course, as all the crowd in Palm Beach knew him. The truth is that President Trump threw him out of Mara Lago for inappropriate sexual behavior. President Trump was also the only person in that top-echelon crowd that volunteered to help the prosecutors against Epstein. He once hitched a ride on one of Epstein's lesser planes from Miami back to Washington. Epstein's brother has given evidence about who was on that plane. There were no women, no young girls. The world is so full of hypocrites who choose to ignore, hide or mitigate their political agendas, while attempting to crucify individuals with whom they do not agree, without regard to the personal consequences (Brett Kavanaugh). Bill Clinton was (may still be?) a long-term sexual abuser. His wife was his enabler, setting up war rooms to greatly demean, and in some cases, have investigated, his victims, with the help of her smear agent, Sidney Blumenthal. She called his victims, "Bimbo Eruptions," yet Democrats down play, attempt to remove evidence of, or completely ignore, Bill Clinton's sexual abuses and attempt to completely ignore Hillary Clinton's role as an enabler of serial sexual abuse. These Democrats are me-too women and other women who supported Hillary Clinton or support anyone who has every supported her or Bill Clinton. Let us remember that Bill Clinton, despite his denials, deviously coated in a different time line, flew on the Lolita Express a minimum of 26 times, evidenced by the plane logs.

  2849.  @yfelwulf  Firstly, let's get one thing very straight. I am no fan of what is going on in the US right now - far from it. My comment was to oppose your joy of a country collapsing, rather than hoping for the collapse of the things that have gone wrong in the country. I don't know where you live, but a collapse of the US will mean a collapse of countries worldwide. That is one of the top lessons right before our eyes in 2008. GOLD The notion of gold backing a currency no longer has any credibility whatsoever. Even Max and Stacy seem to have stopped pushing that notion. There is not enough gold in the world to back up currencies that are required to maintain the massive global population today (or even the massive US population today -- growing exponentially in Biden's stateless country). Also, one must always keep in mind that Stacy and Max have an agenda. Perhaps they should declare their activities in Bitcoin before each show. The printing of mammoth amounts of money is, of course, madness. In normal times, it is the people who print more money (mortgages, credit cards, car loans, student loans, lines of credit, consumer loans, etc.); however, apparently today that has reversed, as consumer debt has declined during CoVid, and the Fed is out of control, printing trillions of Biden dollars. TOP 50 COMPANIES AND TAX Just have to check the first company to wipe away any credibility in your statement that the top 50 companies pay no tax. Walmart income taxes for the quarter ending January 31, 2021 were $1.415B, a 2.61% increase year-over-year. Walmart income taxes for the twelve months ending January 31, 2021 were $6.858B, a 39.53% increase year-over-year. SWIFT I am not very familiar with SWIFT, but I believe it is upgrading its systems to accommodate direct transfer payments. That sounds good to me, but as I said I am no expert on SWIFT CORPORATE BAILOUTS A slow encroachment of government into the private sector. Just what Biden and his team want. Was the go-ahead for the FED to purchase corporate bonds black and white? No. Started at the direction of Congress with pushback from certain Republicans. Saved large corporations from bankruptcy, but that translates into saving the shareholders of those corporations, millions of whom are ordinary people who are shareholders -- some even unaware that they are shareholders as the holdings are on the part of their pension and other savings funds. It also translates into saving the bond investors, many of whom are also ordinary people. Should any of these stakeholders be saved. That is highly debatable and a very complex issue. No easy answer. Very difficult to sort out the incredible intertwined mess. Congress is at the centre of the huge mess we face today. I have said all along that it is time for those who stand for election to have a threshold of qualifications, most importantly, economics, finance, banking, business, securities markets, along with testing to qualify to be a candidate -- probably wouldn't work. There wouldn't be enough people who could qualify and want to run for public office. Personally, I believe the private-equity market has done untold financial damage, with rippling domino effects. BOTTOM LINE Important that people be informed about these issues, so that they can propose credible ideas for change, rather than just whining about them, and so that they can cast informed votes. Uninformed votes equal dysfunctional democracy. Biden supporters today are a perfect example of mostly uninformed voters, or outright socialist marxists.

  2878. Not the first time a country has seized art that does not belong to it. It's called theft. It is evil. Criminal behavior. Why has Finland stolen this art? For years Putin called for diplomatic negotiations to stop the shelling of Donbass Russians by Ukraine's Azov Militia and Army. The calls fell on deaf ears. Did Finland enter into any diplomatic talks in this regard? Did it offer to help? To date, over 14,000 Russian men, women and children have been killed by the shelling. Peace was negotiated with the Minsk Agreement. Ukraine a main signatory to the agreement. It guaranteed the end of the shelling and independent status for Donetsk and Luhansk in Donbass. Corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs, including Zelensky, and US interlopers, refused to honor the agreement. The shelling still continues. As Biden's threats escalated, so did Putin's and Lavrov's calls for diplomacy. Biden refused any good-faith negotiations. So Putin recognized Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states, free to choose their own alliances. They asked for Russian help. Russia entered Ukraine to encircle the Azov Militia & Army to stop the shelling once and for all. What would Finland have done if, say, Russia was shelling and killing thousands of Finns in an enclave of Finns in Russia at the Finnish/Russian border? Would it have asked for help diplomatically? If the world refused to help, would it have left those Finns to their own devices to perish? Or would it have taken military action to stop the shelling? Russia took action to help and is being severely punished for that, as the West, including Finland, calls for arms for the Azov Militia and Ukrainian Military to continue the death and destruction. EVIL MADNESS.

  2958. The US is most certainly responsible for the war in Ukraine, without any reservations. Your Liz Truss was also most definitely a trigger. She screeched on UK TV, BEFORE Russia's SMO, that Britain would target anyone in the Kremlin who had anything to do with the continuation of Russia, a reckless declaration of war to wipe Russia off the map. Her subsequent, abominable behavior towards Lavrov in Moscow, threatening, rude, and ignorant of the relevant geography, was a trigger. Boris Johnson rushed to Kiev to order Zelensky to stop the initial peace negotiations taking place in Turkey early on in the war. Putin showed African delegates the initial peace MOU signed by Ukraine. As a show of its commitment, Russia retreated from Kiev. Not only was Ukraine and the US/West dishonest about why Russia had moved out, but they also spun detrimental lies about why, with Ukraine committing one of the most heinous red flags we have ever witnessed, staging a field of slaughter in Bucha to falsely blame the Russians, using bodies of civilians cut down by Ukrainian forces. After Biden shuffled into the WH, he started vilifying Putin, Russia and Russians. He spread a campaign of hatred against them for no apparent acceptable reason. He kept predicting that Russia would invade Ukraine by a certain date. When no invasion happened, he moved the date forward. What was going on? Biden, riddled with dementia, so prescient? Turns out, not reported in the MSM, Biden was orchestrating a huge Ukrainian military build-up at the Donbass and Russian borders. He was goading Russia into war! Apart from war for MIC profits, potential plunder and hegemony, a Russian invasion would be, and was, perfect cover for his planned explosion of Nord Stream Meanwhile the US/West egregious sanctions, false signing of the Minsk Agreement (Germany), funding, supplying, and training of Ukrainian forces, including the neonazi AZOV regiment committing genocide against Donbass Russians, and US/NATO offensive aggression from Ukraine, a non-NATO country, as well as other acts of war contributed to Russia's SMO. Within days of Liz Truss's appalling behavior in Moscow, Russia recognized Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states. They asked for Russia's help to end the genocide against them, Russia activated its SMO to end the genocide and US/NATO acts of war and aggression against it from Ukraine. Biden was also the US point man in Ukraine, initiating the bloody Maidan Coup to oust a duly elected Ukrainian president because he favored friendly trade relations with Russia. That coup spilled into civil war and genocide against the Donbass Russians, aided and abetted by the US/NATO, a key reason for the SMO. A deeply shameful period for the US/NATO/West. An existential war for Russia. The US/West has been explicitly clear about their intention to tear Russia and Russians apart. Of course Russia will defend itself against such threats.

  2985.  @johnsmith1474  Age gives wisdom, until dementia kicks in. If Pelosi once had wisdom, then she surely has some sort of dementia now, because she is the leader of astonishingly foolish actions. Now, John Smith, I expect I am a whole lot closer to Pelosi's age than your age. Bigot?! Definition of bigot: "a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions." That fits your response to my comment to a tee -- also fits Pelosi's actions against Trump in this whole, shameful Russia/Ukraine false Democrat narrative. Read your comment again. You managed to totally contradict yourself in a few words. Pelosi sucks....Age gives wisdom. You are nothing but a bully: "you are really naive and stupid," both of which I am far from. "You filthy little bigot." Name calling is bullying. If being intolerant of the current opinions of the Democrat Party, then you might have an argument in calling me a bigot. You might find it interesting to know that I was an adamant supporter of Obama; however, his administration and the deep state surviving his administration, have turned out to be the most corrupt in U.S. history. So bigot? I don't think so, I am willing to follow common sense. A lesson learned in following Obama. Never compromise core beliefs. I am conservative and don't believe in large government. I compromised my beliefs in going for Obama. I misjudged the man by not doing sufficient research, albeit the most significant information (his sponsors from university to president were purposely deeply hidden). Trump 2020 -- and too bad it can't be for longer. So, John Smith, I know you are fairly young ("cuz"), grow up and debate the issues with facts, without resorting to personally attacking those with whom you disagree.

  3198. The worst of Biden is his open-border policy. The most evil of Biden is his manufactured war against Russia and Russians, who under Putin, have done nothing untoward to the US or West. The open borders have resulted in millions spilling into the US. It is already destroying the US socially and economically. Clashing cultures, dependency on the government, crowding, criminality; however, as these migrants become citizens, vote, have children who will also vote, they are not just going to fatten the Democrat party, while the leaders continue to live their insular, gated, luxurious lives. They will fundamentally change America into an unrecognizable country. Biden's evil against Russia for no acceptable reason but surmised as a goal to break apart and plunder the remnants and create a permanent much larger military force. This war is not about Russia's SMO. It started years ago, as Megyn hinted, in 2014 when the US invaded Ukraine on the wings of a coup, the Maidan Coup. Putin relentlessly called for diplomacy to end Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians and US/NATO aggression. His calls fell on deaf Western ears, so the SMO was formed to end the genocide militarily (a similar situation to the fight against the same German horrors in WW2 - genocide, nazism and a deeply corrupt government). Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands are being slaughtered on Biden's proxy battlefield as he licks ice cream and vacuously talks about the "great" economy that is imploding all around him. Jill Biden is culpable too. She claims to be so well academically trained that we must call her "doctor." Yet she enabled her sick, senile husband to become frontman for an evil cabal, knowing his brain was riddled with dementia gaps. Her ambitions for fame and power must know no bounds, aiding her sick husband mount his script-reading platforms to be ridiculed by the world.

  3236.  @anfg7376  2/ One of the problems the US/West says it has against China is its treatment of the Uyghurs, a Muslim population that lives in Xinjiang, an autonomous zone. The US accuses China of carrying out genocide against the Uyghurs. China responds that potential Islamist terrorism is involved. It likely is, but likely not as widespread through the eleven million, plus Uyghurs. No doubt, some have been imprisoned. But here's the kicker: One of the main reasons for Russia's SMO is that the US/West refused Putin's relentless calls for diplomacy to end Ukrainian actual genocide against Donbass Russians. By 2021 over 14,000 Russian men, women and children had been killed in that US-supported, Ukrainian genocide. It continues today. Furthermore, to date, approximately 400,000 Ukrainian men have been KIA/injured as proxy fodder for the evil US war being waged against Russia on Ukrainian killing fields. Not happy to look at this horror and end the war, the US/West keeps calling for more and more destruction in Ukraine. Uyghurs have been treated harshly, no doubt, but what is the lethal rate against the US lethal rate in Ukraine. Russia under Putin had NEVER - not once - threatened or invaded the US or any Western/NATO country. Its SMO was in response to the Ukrainian genocide against D/Russians, US/NATO aggression at the Russian border, and other Western acts of war, most particularly Britain. Biden had overseen a massive Ukrainian military increase at the Donbass/Russian borders, as he threatened Putin and Russia, censoring information about this US orchestrated military increase. He mounted one of the most depraved, bigoted, discriminatory campaigns of hatred against Putin, Russia and Russians. Behond sick. Now the US is threatening war against China. Weep for America and god help us all under US reckless danger.

  3422. Russia did not take Georgia. Russia did go into Georgia to protect the Russian enclaves in Georgia. At the time there was a US affiliated Georgian president, and his troops committed violent atrocities against those Russian civilians, not unlike the Ukrainian genocide against the Donbass Russians. One of the key reasons for Russia's activating its SMO was to end the Ukrainian genocide against the Donbass Russians, let alone the US/NATO acts of war against Russia from Ukraine, a non-NATO country. For Russia, the war is existential. Biden has gone out of his way to vilify Putin, Russia and Russians in an attempt to justify his war against Russia. The EU, NATO, West have been loudly and explicitly clear about the goal to tear Russia and Russians apart. Of course Russia is fighting back - for its very existence, just as Israel is fighting back for its existence. Crimea had been Russian since 1784. It was not Ukrainian before that. Ukraine did not exist. In1954, Khrushchev arbitrarily transferred administration of Crimea to Ukraine SSR, without the approval of Crimea and without regard for its Russian demographic. He did it to gain support from the elite of Ukraine. In 2014, Crimea voted overwhelmingly (97% with an 83% turnout) to be repatriated to Russia. The Ukraine war is nothing less than an evil US, manufactured, hegemonic war against Russia, using Ukrainian killing fields and unwilling Ukrainian conscripts as proxy fodder to die for this evil US/NATO/West proxy war. The ground work for the war was laid by Obama, with Biden as his point man in Ukraine behind the Maidan Coup to oust a duly elected Ukrainian president because he favored friendly trade relations with Russia. The US had no more bushiness interfering in Ukraine as a foothold for war against Russia than Hamas has in Gaza as a foothold for war against Israel.😢😢

  3496.  GW Hayduke  I am astonished that you are unaware of the SPYING that went on against President Trump and Trump campaign associates, in addition to the attempted coup based on a fabricated false dossier. Some of the spying was triggered by false information fed to the FISA court to obtain spying warrants; some of it independent of the FISA warrants. The spying is an essential aspect of the whole sordid sedition. Meanwhile, the investigation was also phoney and never should have happened. There was no doubt about the attempted coup. Many involved in the investigation were involved in the attempted coup. They were investigating an attempted coup carried out by the investigators themselves. One of the best books on the Trump Russia hoax is Gregg Jarrett's book, "Witch Hunt." He's a lawyer and documented the information impeccably. And even that book doesn't tell the whole story, because so much more evidence has now been released. I urge you to read that book to be clear on the spying and other seditious activities. There was NEVER any significant security risk. The whole thing was fabricated. We always suspected, but now we have the evidence to prove, that Hillary Clinton initiated the vile and seditious plot in order to detract from her email scandal. We have known from the beginning that she paid for the false dossier, laundering the funds through dodgy lawyers, Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS, but we didn't have the proof that she actually initiated the plot. Now we know. We have the proof. We also have the proof that, at a minimum Obama and Biden knew about the plot but said nothing, at a maximum were involved themselves. You know, it doesn't matter your political affiliation, what has been done to President Trump is beyond appalling, the most vile and serious crime in U.S. politics. If any one of the Democrat presidential hopefuls had had the guts to admit the truth, condemn the sedition, demand that the culprits be brought to justice, and that the party be cleaned up before moving on, that person would have had an enormous chance of being president in 2020, but not one of them had the guts or ethics. They all fell in line with the lemmings, supporting or denying the sedition. It is appalling that many in the country are now supporting the return of such corruption to power. The plot against the president should be enough, in a decent country with the rule of law, to ensure they would not be returned to power, let alone the slide to socialism, critical race theory, globalism, open borders and regime-change policies that party advocates.

  3497.  @jackiewilson6249  Why don't you tell us, Jackie Wilson, please, the names of the companies, the charges against the president, the political affiliations of those companies, the reasons for the lawsuits, and the status of the lawsuits? If you cannot do that with concrete, actual evidence, then apologize for your comment. Vote Trump into prison? For what? State the charges. Don't bother with Russian collusion, because there was no Russian collusion on the part of Trump. That has been proven with evidence from the very people who were accusing him of it. There was however Russian interference on the part of Clinton. Now proven with concrete evidence. Hillary Clinton initiated the Trump/Russia false accusations. She paid for the phoney dossier, laundering the funds through her colluding law firm, Perkins Coie and Fusian GPS, a political smear company, that in turn hired a disreputable former British spy, Christopher Steele, who concocted a total false dossier used to fraudulently obtain FISA spying warrants and wrongly accuse President Trump. The source of the false crap in the dossier, a Ukrainian in the US who worked for the left-wing think tank, the Brookings Institute, the same man that was on the CIA watchlist for being a Russian spy. About the Brookings Institute: Adam Schiff's witnesses in his phoney fabricated impeachment were individuals associated with the Brookings Institute, all witnesses of whom, under cross examination admitted they knew of no indictable Trump offenses and that their testimony was all based on assumptions and hearsay. Their objections had nothing to do with illegalities; everything to do with their not liking President Trump's policies. People, such as you, Jackie Wilson, are ruining the legitimacy of Social Media, posting and spreading nasty, false, libelous innuendos intended to demean, without a shred of evidence.

  3499.  @Kreegrrr  Guess what? I don't watch TV. I haven't watched TV in approximately 20 years. I recommend that everyone get rid of their TVs. Life is much better without them. I got rid of cable/TV for the following reasons: The outrageous ISP costs and lousy service; sick and tired of watching opinions dressed up as news; refused to any longer pay for bundled channels in order to prop up non-viable and lousy channels that would go bankrupt without the bundling; appallingly bad programming. Recently utterly fake and false news would be added to my list. So, far from watching one source, I watch loads of sources, but I am discerning. I do not watch sources that are obviously spouting fake news. The loss of professional journalism is one of the most serious crises we face today, so dire the consequences. Without professional journalism, there can be no functioning democracy. Outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post, the New York Times, are nothing less than activists and mouthpieces for the Democrat Party. How do I know, if I don't watch TV.? Their pronouncements and programming are constantly featured on the internet to point out their corruption and fake news. I use tons of sources, and make a point of going to original sources to find out the real facts. Unfortunately for you, Nossgrr, in saying there was no coup has shown us that you have no idea what has happened. Either you watch the fake news and believe it, or you don't keep up to date at all. There was definitely an attempted coup. That is not supposition or hearsay. The evidence is now massive. Carter Page was illegally spied on with a view to getting to Trump. The FISA warrants were fraudulently obtained, using a false dossier. The FISA court was defrauded, and the first culprit to be indicted, Kevin Clineman, a lawyer, has pleaded guilty to altering information in order to falsely obtain a FISA warrant. Paul Manafort was found guilty of financial fraud that had absolutely nothing to do with Trump, albeit, they went after Manafort in an effort to get Trump. The concrete written evidence (from released documents) of the plot to frame General Flynn is now so overwhelming that both the prosecutors and defence asked that the case be dropped. Unfortunately, a politically biased and apparently corrupt judge has decided that he is prosecutor and judge (something that is a no-no and unacceptable in Western justice systems) has decided to stall on dropping the case. What has been done to General Flynn is so egregious and vile, it sends chills down one's spine. And if you support it, beware; if they can do it to General Flynn, they can come for you. Shame on you for not finding out the details about the case, because the corruption around it is pivotal in this election to make sure it never happens again. Shame on you for admonishing me (who does tons of research from tons of sources) on an assumption that I drink my news from one source, when it turns out you apparently have no idea what has happened and no idea that evidence of the framing of General Flynn and the attempted coup against President Trump is out there and has been for a long time now. If you are a voter, it is extremely serious that you are either unaware of these details, or that you are aware but deliberately choose not to believe them, because it is imperative for a successful and decent country that such seditions is prosecuted and totally unacceptable, whatever your political leaning.

  3543. Wow! I just worry that their plot may be two pronged. Get Biden and oust him for classified documents as a prelude for blocking Trump for classified documents, ignoring the facts that completely exonerate Trump (Democrat voters too dumb or two devious to grasp the differences in the two cases). Meanwhile on Jan. 5, 2017, Obama held a meeting at the WH. The collection of corrupt democrats at the meeting, including Biden, plotted how to frame an innocent man, knowing he was innocent, General Flynn, exactly, as you said, Tucker, because he know the intel community and planned to streamline it. He knew about the Ukraine corruption. Biden was particularly proactive at that meeting, suggesting the Logan Act to get Flynn, a stupid suggestion typical of Biden's low intellect. They didn't use the Logan Act, of course, but they got General Flynn anyway, Comey went after him with vile pride, after Obama ended the meeting telling his assembled seditious plotters to "do it by the book." How do we know all this? From their own meeting notes and Susan Rice's CYA note she tapped out on her computer, both later revealed to the public. Biden's open borders have, in my view, already destroyed America. He is also culpable for hundreds of thousands of deaths in Ukraine, but in America's mind those deaths will eventually fade into oblivion. Putin will beat the US in Ukraine. The millions of migrants who have flowed across Biden's open borders, by sheer numbers alone, aside from the criminal and drug elements, will result in the social and economic implosion of America, either by unrest and chaos, or through the voting booths. One just has to be aware of what is happening in the UK, Sweden, Germany and France to know what is on track to happen in America.

  3544. Millions died in WW2 fighting against genocide, nazism, and a deeply corrupt dictator Unbelievably, the US/West has now chosen to SUPPORT those same horrors, which Russia is fighting against. In 2014 the US initiated a bloody coup in Ukraine, the Maidan Coup, to oust a duly elected Ukrainian president because he favored friendly trade relations with Russia. That coup spilled into civil war that in turn spilled into Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians. By the start of 2021 over 14,000 Russian men, women and children had perished in that genocide. The Russian SMO was formed to end that genocide after the US/West refused Putin's relentless calls, since 2014, for diplomacy to end the it. The largest group of Ukrainian forces shelling civilians in the Donbass have been the Azov forces, committed to neo-nazism, trained by the West. Nazism has not just oozed through the Ukrainian forces, but it has also infiltrated the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian society as a whole. When the Azov forces emerged from their dungeons in the Azovstal Steel Plant to surrender to the Russians, the Russians made them remove their tops to photograph their tattoos. Their tattoos were of nazi symbols, Hitler and associates and Bandera, the Ukrainian Nazi idol. This process played out, live, on the internet, as it happened. The internrt is filled with videos of Nazi activities,, events , flags and symbols in Ukraine, but not in the MSM. The US is not supporting freedom in Ukraine. Zelensky has banned all political opposition and elections, with dire results for anyone who dares to oppose him, including imprisonment and in some cases, torture, even disappearance. Gonzalo Lira, a Chilian- American reporting the facts from Kharkiv has been spirited away and disappeared. The SBU filmed his arrest. Zelensky has a kill list. I know of two independent Western reporters on that list. A Canadian woman and an American commentator. A high Ukrainian official official has admitted being behind the assassination of three journalists, one being a you girl Darya Dugina. Next time you think Bout hitting the streets in anger, learn what you are supporting first. The allied of WW2 must be squirming in their graves. The US/West is supporting the horrors against which they died fighting.

  3640. These fools voted for this chilling, ignorant, uninformed, dangerous warmonger, Liz Truss, devoid of any leadership skills, or experience in finance and economics to fix Britain's economic implosion, for which she, herself, as foreign secretary, was greatly responsible, as she pushed for more and more sanctions and war against Russia that have sharply turned to destroy Britain. They voted for her, because she is a fellow war hawk -- too insular and wrongly focused to grasp the harmful consequences to Britain. The manufactured war and sanctions against Russia, that under Putin has never done anything untoward to Britain, are PURE EVIL. Their invented excuse that Putin is evil because he invaded Ukraine is vile, transparent scapegoating and gaslighting. Liz Truss declared war on Russia BEFORE its Special Military Operation. She threatened that Britain would target anyone in the Kremlin who had anything to do with the continuation of Russia. A reckless, dangerous declaration of war and intent to wipe Russia off the map. AFTER Liz Truss's abominable behavior during a meeting with Lavrov, Putin recognized Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states. They asked for Russia's help to end the eight-year, Ukrainian Nazi Azov genocide against them. Given that Putin's and Lavrov's relentless calls for diplomacy to end the genocide and US/NATO aggression had fallen on deaf Western ears, Russia formed the SMO to end the genocide. Instead of diplomacy, the UK/Liz Truss (and West) chose to side with that Ukrainian genocide, nazism, and the most corrupt, tyrannical government in Europe that allows no political opposition, as its leader begs for money and weapons in Zoom room in the name of "freedom and democracy." Astounding when one considers the millions who died in WW2 fighting against the very same horrors in Germany. Such an evil path for any leader or country is bound to end very badly.

  3692. I'm not sure that the salacious lies in the phoney Steele dossier even originated in Russia. That was just part of coup-mongers' false narrative. It seems to me, the lies apparently originated from anonymous, vacuous diatribes in a commentary thread and from Clinton smear agents, Blumenthal and Shearer. An aspect of supposed election influencing that doesn't seem to have occurred to many is that living-room chatter, opinions, and debates have now moved to the internet. Opinions and ideas about politics, economics, society and current affairs that used to be discussed in living rooms are now discussed on the internet. A new paradigm that has yet to sink in to the insular and short-sighted. Perhaps it could be argued that these conversations could have influence on some but not sufficiently to sway an election. If these conversations are political influencers to be shut down and silenced in the eyes of liberals, then the conversations in universities, led by socialist and globalist professors should be shut down and silenced. The new paradigm is that living-room, coffee-date, and bar-at-five conversations now take place globally on the internet. Ironically, one would think that the liberal globalists -- the ones involved in attacking free speech -- would love the idea of the vast reach of new global living-room conversations. I say to those who think censorship is a good idea, grow up, adapt to how we communicate today. If you don't like what conservatives have to say, then learn the facts and debate them with facts, reason and intelligence (without, I might add, epithets, innuendos without substance designed to demean and defame and outright bullying that appears so often in liberal commentary).

  3733. Please spare us the sudden halo around Diana. Maybe Martin Bashir and the BBC lured her with false pretenses, but they did not give Diana a script. Her private secretary, Patrick Jephson, told in his book how he advised Diana not to do the interview, but she refused to take his advice. She was responsible for everything she said. She trashed her sons' family. She went out of her way to demean Prince Charles, accusing him of having three in their marriage, when it was she who had a three-year extra- marital affair, etc.. Now, Prince William, a future king of Britain, is calling for the interview never to be aired again. He's calling for censorship: silence what he does not want new public to hear. I would be very interested to know who dug up this whole issue, apparently not only to take down the BBC and Martin Bashir but also to sugarcoat Diana. Diana was totally responsible for her appalling behavior and what she said. I haven't heard Harry's take on this new episode yet. I can just imagine the rubbish. Did his wife orchestrate this latest episode? I will tune back into your show to find out Harry's take. I have always been a supporter of royalty, but now I am beginning to think that it is time to get rid of the whole lot of them, once the Queen dies. Both William and Harry natter on about mental health. Perhaps Step One should be for these boys to accept realty. Instead of blaming the media and others for their mother's troubles and death, come to terms with her faults, her own role in her troubles, as well as her good traits, and learn to handle them with candor.

  3742. @Jeff Kay -- Firstly the US did not attack everything that moves in the Middle East after 9/11. The U.S. launched a responsive, retaliatory attack (with Saudi Arabia as an ally) against Afghanistan, where the 9/11 attack was planned, initiated and orchestrated. Secondly, your piece is fake news. Fake news includes news presentations with half the facts, the facts that work against the authors, left out. You conveniently did not include that Osama Bin Laden fled to Sudan as a fugitive from the crosshairs of the Saudi Government. Thirdly, you obviously have no understanding of the history of Saudi Arabia and the balancing act between the Royal Family and the Wahhabis. If you are not familiar with the schism between the two, you have no credibility discussing Saudi Arabia. After Afghanistan, you are right, the U.S. entered two wars in the Middle East, one to free Kuwait from Saddam Hussein's grip; the second, a full out attack against Iraq. The Iraq War is still controversial. Were there weapons of mass destruction or not? Some, with experience on the ground in Iraq and with many Iraqi elite still categorically affirm the weapons. Frankly, what many overlook, when dissing that war, is that Saddam Hussein gassed his own people -- innocent men, women and children -- en masse -- just as Hitler had done? Was Hitler worth defeating but not Saddam Hussein? What the authorities in the U.S. did not understand were the Jihadi trends and factions in the Middle East at the time. Those brave front-line U.S. infantry soldiers battled insurgent Islamist terrorists (vs. Iraqis) house to house, room to room. Then came along Hillary Clinton, with her applauder, Barack Obama. She ASSISTED the terrorists in Syria, calling them "moderate rebels," when they were nothing but home-grown and insurgent extremist, Islamist terrorists. She and Obama supported the Arab Spring, an uprising centrally involving the Muslim Brotherhood. They, unbelievably, either did not understand or ignored that organization's long designation as a terrorist group. In Libya, she professed to be assisting the people of Libya, resulting in chaos, civil war, death and destruction, mass people smuggling, slavery, and the worst crisis in Europe since WW2. THAT WAS AT THE HANDS OF HILLORY CLINTON WITH BARACK OBAMA CHEERING ON THE SIDELINES. IT WAS NOT AMERICA. LASTLY, the public may not be that stupid, but it appears that you are. The giveaway? Your lack of knowledge of the details, but more importantly your, "if you believe the story." Go learn about the Middle East and the facts about 9/11.

  3768. Drain the Swamp: Term limits in house and senate Banish third-party paid lobbying. Restrictions on financial dealings of elected officials and their families, friends and business associates. Embedded caps on government spending and borrowing. When the caps are reached government must downsize. Disburse federal government across the country versus concentration in Washington. Term limits for top civil servants. All government meetings to be audio-visually recorded and concurrently stored in an independent data storage facility, managed by a sworn apolitical head, with reasonable public access to information. Criminal offense to conduct government business on non-approved, private equipment. Low, flat-rate tax system. Banish political donations from, and government funding of, NGOs. Qualifying degrees, including economics, finance and business, and exams for political candidates. Revamp schools and universities to eliminate tenure, banish teachers' unions, re-introduce meritocracy, make political indoctrination of students a criminal offense, dramatically reduce the number of universities, establish trades colleges with business partnerships. Improve academic standards to improve knowledge and sophistication of voters. Lying about political opponents or their accomplishments, or a politician lying about his/her accomplishments, a criminal offense. Online, encrypted federal voting system with voting accounts for living citizens that are only accessible for one-time voting on election day, with a combination of passwords and facial configurations, eliminating all mail-in ballots.

  3810. Sandra Myers  - Interestingly, I, a conservative, was an adamant Obama supporter during his two presidential campaigns. I latched on to Obama after reading his book, "Dreams from my Father, " in which, unlike Hillary Clinton who sugarcoats everything to make herself look great, Obama, in his book, was not afraid to show vulnerability. He seemed to be honest, no matter how negative it made him look. I was so wrong, and it is a lesson to be learned. Know your politicians thoroughly. Obama put himself out as a centrist prepared to go slightly left or right depending on the circumstances. I believed he had risen above obstructive politics, racism, and gender divisions. I was so wrong. That is not what he turned out to be; and anyone who had done sufficient research about him would have known that is not who he was. Had I done sufficient research, alarm bells would have wrung on finding out the identification of the mentors who catapulted him to president. I supported Michelle Obama as his partner, despite the controversy about her apparent, inherent racism against whites; despite questions about her academic accomplishments courtesy of quota systems. I still greatly support her priority initiative, as first lady, of healthy eating and exercise. The pushback she received from Republicans and the food industry was appalling. Unfortunately, she caved and ended that initiative, focusing on exercise, while being a whole lot quieter about healthy eating. We will never see Donald Trump cave and neutralize his positions when faced with such pressure. He has the courage of steel. I should have recognized something was amiss with Obama on his first whopper of a mistake, but I actually covered for him over that. What was it? His appointment of Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State. I was gobsmacked by that blunder, so soon after his election. Explained it away by keeping-his-enemies-close narratives. Ultimately that appointment showed his true light. He was no centrist. He was a leftist, deeply affected and not able to overcome his mixed-"race" background, devoid of business experience that can make America great, and fitted with blinkers about what actually made America great. President Trump is the best thing that has happened to America in our lifetime. A businessman who understands how to make America great again (already happening beyond anyone's imagination). A leader of enormous courage that comes around once in hundreds of years. The irrational hatred for him (courtesy of the mainstream media) is disgusting, appalling and extremely dangerous. He has done absolutely nothing wrong to deserve it. With liberals out of the way for me, after the Clinton disasters in the Middle East and felonies to save herself and influence an election, and the disastrous policies of Obama, I was at a loss. As a business person, I had followed Trump's business ups and downs for years, but was neutral on him as a presidential contender. The I started watching his rallies, the most informed rallies in my lifetime (over and above Ross Perrot's informative presidential campaign). He made total common sense, while Clinton did not. I was with him. I am now disgusted by the puerile, but very dangerous behavior of Democrats witnessed over the last year. Unless we stop their puerile, but ethically dangerous behavior, America will be lost. By the way, through it all, Hillary Clinton was off bounds for me. She is, in my opinion with evidence to back it up, the most corrupt politician in U.S. history and an enabler of the serial, sexual abuse of her husband, to boot.

  3812. Conscription always scares the hell out of me. If I were a young man at risk of being conscripted and sent to the front, I would be scared, battle ready or not, and mull over the idea of escaping. Mitigating this news slightly, is the knowledge that Putin has said the conscripts will only be among former military and reserves. The reality of conscription plays loud, clear and chillingly every time we watch films of WW2 allied conscripts on landing craft, heading for the European beaches, knowing as we do, that so many of those innocent men, terror running through their veins, were slaughtered before they even reached the beaches and many more right on the beaches. The reality of conscription rings true every time we see film of US conscripts in Vietnam lying low in partially protected fox holes, waiting in terror for the next explosion. Conscription is no less terrifying, as we watch film of WW2 German conscripts freezing and wounded on the snow covered Eastern steppes, knowing as we do, that they did not make it out of that freezing hell. Meanwhile, a few released, sheltered top Azov guys in Turkey are not going to wipe away the imagery of 53+ Azov dead and 75+ Azov wounded in the Zelensky-ordered hit on the Donetsk POW camp where they were housed. The Azov in Turkey will not waste time sipping Turkish coffees in outdoor cafés. They will barter for computer access and phones. May they reap their vengeance on the Vogue model and high-heeled dancing CinC, whom they detest, before any Russian conscripts and thousands more Ukrainians are killed, to bring a quick end to this vile Biden war.

  3911. Lot of inappropriate assumptions here. As for Prince Andrew, we all know that he was a friend of Epstein. He's admitted that, along with it being a misguided friendship. Many others were friends of Epstein as well. There are photos of Stephen Hawking at his Lolita Island. Today we learn from you via your reliable sources that Prince Andrew had an affair with Ghislaine Maxwell and access to the Palace (similar access, I expect, for many girlfriends of royal princes over history, including recent history). My point is that no one has proven that Andrew had sexual relations with his accuser. He may have and may not have. She will need to provide evidence. After many recent false or tenuous sexual assault accusations against men, the mantra that female accusers must be believed at face value, simply has no validity, especially when the accusers and their lawyers have their eyes on a massive bank account. The photo of them together, along with Ghislaine, shows a young girl who could easily have been at the age of majority or older. So if the accuser and Andrew did have a sexual encounter, did Andrew know how old she was? Ghislaine's appearance in the photo, after your news today, offers another interpretation of the picture (lovers or ex-lovers, now friends, at an innocent get together with a young guest). After the appalling false accusations against President Trump, I think we all need to be very careful about accusations or insinuations against others when there is no proof. Innocent until proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is supplied.

  3970. Before Russia's SMO, Liz Truss screeched on UK TV that Britain would target anyone in the Kremlin who had anything to do with the continuation of Russia, a reckless, dangerous declaration of war against Russia and threat to wipe it off the map, as British towns and cities crumbled, as Britain was imploding from within from far-too-high immigration, illegal migration, and excessive welfare. Russia had done nothing to Britain - had never - not once - threatened, attacked or invaded it. It was engaged in friendly trade with Britain, now cut off by cowardly British sanctions. Boris Johnson then sent Liz Truss to Moscow to meet the world-renowned Russian diplomat, Sergey Lavrov. The event was filmed and posted on the internet for all to see - but not on the MSM. Her behavior was abominable, rude, threatening, uninformed, with zero understanding of the situation on the ground, zero knowledge of the relevant geography and cities. Sergey Lavrov was disgusted. It was a trigger. Within approximately ten days, Putin recognized Donetsk's and Luhansk's independence outside Ukraine (previously he had called for their independence within Ukraine). They asked Russia to help them end the Ukrainian genocide against them. The SMO was activated to end that genocide. The war and sanctions against Russia (pretending it is all about Ukraine) has greatly expanded British deterioration. Tax funds going to fund it. Sanctions boomeranging to cause sky-high Western energy costs and inflation. The British people now struggling, not being able to afford groceries and gas. The food industry is highly dependent on energy, resulting in unaffordable grocery prices.

  4143.  @jeanettemelendez1698  This disaster is not about leaving Afghanistan. It's about the inept, dangerous and uninformed way Biden decided to leave Afghanistan. Also Biden refused to honor Trump's agreement with the Taliban to leave by May (with detailed restrictions and contingencies). Biden wanted to correlate his planned departure with the anniversary of 9/11. The Biden exit strategy was just for the soldiers to exit -- leave all the equipment and arms for the Taliban; leave those who assisted the US and allies to their fate under the Taliban; leave with no contingency plan; leave with no negotiations for the future. The Taliban showed Biden in no uncertain terms what happens to fools who ignore agreements. Originally the US and allies went into Afghanistan, not just to get OBL, as Biden said. (He, by the way, was the only member of the Obama team who disagreed with the operation into Pakistan to get OBL. His reading that "we" got OBL is highly disingenuous. A decent leader would have attributed the capture of OBL to the heros who did the work, the Navy Seals.) The US and allies originally went in to ensure that terrorism would never flourish again in Afghanistan and to destroy safe harbor for terrorists. Just getting OBL, which they failed to do at the time, would not have accomplished the whole mission. What do you think the world should do about the Taliban's treatment of women? Photos today indicate they are covering their faces again. The Taliban spokesperson said they would be given the rights under Sharia Law and Islam and that they could go to school and work, but only work in schools and hospitals. Weep for the women of Afghanistan when the Afghans are left to protect themselves under an umbrella of extreme Islamism.

  4180. @2057 - Interesting how we expose ourselves in what we say. You are an uneducated bully. Name calling (piece of crap) is nothing short of bullying -- school-yard bulling by those who have no intelligence or reasoning powers. Uneducated because you don't have the wherewithal to understand that CNN made a deal with the DNC/Democratic party to collude with them (not hearsay but proven in their own emails). It is nothing less than a political propaganda arm for the Democrats, spouting false and fake news (aka Joseph Goebbels), and you are not sufficiently educated to keep up with, or research the facts. You apparently don't have the reasoning power to stay with the news. The treasonous situations in the FBI and DOJ (Obama's left overs) are not hearsay or speculation, but proven, evidential material, sourced through the courts, congressional investigative committees and freedom of information searches. Sean Hannity never hired Cohen as a lawyer. NEVER. He has had drinks with him and discussed real estate with him. The loss of professional journalism is one of the worst crises we face today. Your comments are a great example of the dangers of that loss, because you apparently have absolutely no idea what has been going on and how the activities became public knowledge. Shame on anyone, Democrat or Republican, who attempts to mitigate these treasonous activities on the part of FBI and DOJ Democrats, ignore them, explain them away or dismiss them. How do you explain your lack of honor and ethics to your children?

  4196. @Truthisstrangerthan Fiction Great questions! I recommend a book that I am reading right now: "The Plot Against The President," by Lee Smith about Devin Nunes's journey, uncovering the attempted coup against President Trump. It goes into the corruption of the press in great detail. Names the particular "journalists," the collusion between the plotters and the press, such collusion being an integral part of the plot, and the correlation of the plot timelines and leaked articles. The author also briefly goes into one of the reasons leading to the implosion of journalism: The internet upset their business models, based on advertising. They started bleeding money big time. They could no longer afford to do investigative journalism, which was once considered a loss leader, but now is a total loss for them. So they now outsource their news and use the sub-standard product. One of the organizations they used is Fusion GPS! Presto! He also highlights the connections among many of the leftist plotters. I believe sub-standard education has a lot to do with the mess. Many voters -- even "journalists" -- never studied subjects, knowledge of which should be an integral part of being a journalist. or informed voter. They never learned basic ethics. They ran into teachers and professors who, themselves, had been brainwashed with socialist principles, identity politics, political correctness, over-the-top feminism, and victimhood. George Soros is a mystery. Very strange that he believes in one world order, given his background. Hard to know if it is all a game for him, or deep-seated beliefs. The open border ideas are propagated by touch-feely, bleeding hearts who never took math or economics -- don't even stop to think of the certain economic, societal and political damage that open borders will do to a country. But more troubling the notion of open borders that we are seeing today -- with just one-way flows into the West, is nothing short of the most insidious ethnic cleansing ever witnessed.

  4248. I don't think Obama was whining about white privilege. I think, at the time of his visit to Kenya, he made accurate assessments. Kenyan students graduating with no employment or career opportunities does create an explosive situation. This observation was prescient. Today, youth unemployment in Kenya is an urgent crisis. 800,000 Kenyan youth enter the job market every year with youth unemployment estimated to be as high as 35%. I happen to know that, at that time -- not sure about now -- whites were served before blacks, likely a misguided decision of the tourist industry to please the tourists and/or whites who were often well paid foreign workers or dignitaries with lots of money. I also agree with Auma about the tourists and their negative impact on the people and beauty of Kenya. His observation about the reticence of black Kenyans was also accurate, in my view. For full disclosure, I am a white Kenyan. I was once a pest of an Obama admirer before wising up, as I learned about the Obama Administration. In my view, it turned out to be the most corrupt in US history, now (in 2020) with an even more corrupt stolen administration heading for the White House and backed and shadowed by Obama, after a fraudulent election -- the kind of politics one expects in countries in Africa, such as Kenya. That brings me to the government's responsibilities at the time of Obama's visit and now. Corruption and population explosion (the latter which Obama mentioned in the video) are two of the most serious issues keeping Kenyans down. It is not the government's responsibility to house and feed Kenyans, but it is its responsibility to create the conditions that allow people to house and feed themselves. At that time in 1990, Kenya had been independent for 27 years. Twenty-seven year-olds had never experienced white government. I am quite sure that, now, work quotas likely make it almost impossible for white people to find work in Kenya. When I lived in Kenya the Black Africans who worked for my family received free housing, medical care, meat, posho (maize, their staple diet), milk and land to grow vegetables, in addition to wages. As children, if we were caught being rude to Black Africans, we would be in for the wrath of my parents. But it was a divided country of Africans in three groups: Brown, Black and White. Some of our workers were like family to us. Today, over 170,000 Kenyans live in Kibera, a noxious, disease-infested slum on the outskirts of Nairobi, said to be the largest urban slum in Africa. These slum dwellers have no living assistance, jobs or meaningful opportunities. Kibera did not exist in colonial times. I think an issue people missed about Obama is his deep connection to his father -- a phantom connection that brought up opposing emotions: sadness, regrets, anger, reality, reflection, disappointment, settling, resolve, etc., culminating, during that trip, with a commitment to set right the things that went wrong in his father's life and set right the things his father could not. A complex plan to change not America but the world and traditional systems. People understood him to be on a mission to change America for the better. In his quest to change the world, he abandoned Americans; and the Deep Swamp swallowed him up. He became one of them. Or did they become him? Whichever, it has resulted in enormous damage that will not be easily undone. President Trump has done far more for African Americans than President Obama did. A lesson is that it is not up to America to improve the lives of Africans; it is up to their various governments. We did not understand the depth of Obama's commitment, so deep, that he would not stay silent as his global goals were shattered; that he would resort to any means to his end. If he had stood up and been honest, admitted that the rolling coup against President Trump was deeply corrupt and wrong, that those responsible must face consequences, and the party be cleaned up before moving on, they likely could have found a credible candidate who might have won the 2020 election without the help of corruption and fraud and without the enormous damage America now faces. The problem with that idea is that we now have evidence about that Jan. 5, 2017, meeting in the White House, attended by Obama, Biden, Comey, Brennan, Rice, Yates and likely Strzok, when they plotted how to frame an innocent man, knowing he was innocent, as a subplot to the main plot to unseat Trump. It appears Obama was in on it; so he could not have condemned the corruption and created a clean state for the Democrat Party.

  4269. Conservative and atheist here! One thing Conservatives need to do is move away from their mythical God. By all means, believe in a mythical god -- we decry the banning of freedoms, including religious freedoms -- however, admiration of a God over science will be a road to disaster for the future of humanity. Instead of emphasizing God, emphasize the value of some of the teachings of Christianity. Speak about the culture and progress that spilled out of Christianity and the Western World. There are millions of atheists, agnostics and people who believe in multiple gods, etc. that we would love to have on the Conservative side. The issue with religious freedom is that in espousing it, we must fold in Islam, including Islamism (the blending of religious Islam with political Islam, the call for jihad against infidels, the dire consequences, including death, for apostates, the vile discrimination against women, forcing them -- by coercion or order -- to wear completely covering modesty clothing, while their male counterparts strut their stuff in Western garb, complete with the latest style in sun glasses, as they eyeball Western women. Religions are actually nothing more than philosophies -- greatly flawed philosophies at that, and should be open to study, research, discussion, criticism, modernization, and change, just like any other philosophy. The danger of freedom of religion is allowing abuses to be protected under an umbrella of religion, such as the abuse of women under Islam.

  4308. Now, we know what all intelligent people already guessed but had no proof until now. Joe Biden, with his team of warmongers, Blinken, Nuland and Sullivan, planned to blow up Nord Stream 1 and 2 BEFORE Russia's SMO. Blew them up (with the help of Norway) after the SMO. No wonder Biden was goading Russia into war. A Russian invasion is great cover/excuse for the act of terrorism against Russia, Germany and the EU. Why blow up pipelines that have nothing to do with either the US or Norway? To stop Germany particularly, and the EU from re-establishing trade relations with Russia, thereby, further diminishing US hegemony, petrodollar, and geopolitical dominance (as well as infringing on Norwegian energy sales). Pure unadulterated evil: terrorism against allies, war against Russia and Russians for profit, plunder and geopolitical dominance, not for defence. Most egregious and depraved of all, the use and destruction of Ukraine as a proxy battlefield, and the use of Ukrainian conscripts to die as proxy fodder for incredibly evil US/Western intentions. The latest death count? 400,000 Ukrainian conscripts KIA or injured. Shame on anyone who stays silent, or attempts to justify or mitigate this horror on the part of the US/West. It is not as if the US/West is fighting evil as in WW2. It is on the side of evil, supporting Ukrainian genocide (against Donbass Russians), nazism oozing through Ukraine in its military, government and society, and the most undemocratic, corrupt, tyrannical government in Europe and one of the worst in the world. The very same horrors that Russia is fighting against. Highly inept Western leaders have been loud and crystal clear about their intention to tear Russia and Russians apart. For Russia this has become an existential war. Of course it is fighting back.

  4409. @Jay McKenzie -- Ah! Your lack of logic! Universities don't teach students to think logically any more. In my comment, I said absolutely nothing about the turning-out controversies or what I thought about them, so to accuse me of pathetic and flimsy false equivalency is totally assumptive and baseless. I simply stated that there were turning-out controversies. Initially Starbucks very unfairly asked two individuals to leave, and I believe the police were called. Highly inappropriate. After that incident, there were a few more incidents. The subsequent incidents were deliberate and staged to cause a controversies. The first inappropriate incident has absolutely no connection to the vagrant I saw in a Starbuck's corner, other than his likely not being asked to leave, because Starbucks turned yellow after the controversies. Also, I reiterate, when a business caves to demands from the public (other than for excellent service for paying customers), many of whom have never run a business, never had to be cognizant of the bottom line, and don't know a damn thing about brand, then that business is in peril. Businesses are private enterprises, whether publicly listed, or private. Their priority is their shareholders. Period. In my view, Starbucks, in the normal course of business, has always had an issue with people (mainly students) hogging tables with their computers for hours -- some not even purchasing anything (says something about ignorant, entitled individuals today). I can't tell you how many times friends and I have gone to Starbucks for a coffee, snack and chat and not been able to stay, because all the tables are occupied by the hoggers. Starbucks should have a right to have a policy about that. It should most definitely be able to turn out non-paying vagrants from their premises. Perhaps it should charging for WiFi. Brand is everything for a business. Break it and your business will be broken shortly afterwards. Businesses should have every right to determine and follow through with their brands, without interference. Those who don't like a particular brand can try another brand. If a brand is detrimental to customers or society as a whole, customers will flee. The brand will be reactively broken. If Starbucks follows through with allowing non-paying customers to fill its seats, including unwashed vagrants, then Starbucks will proactively break its brand, customers will flee, it will lose money, employees will lose their jobs, and it will have to close.

The indictment against Manafort is about events that happened long before he worked with Trump and with which Trump had no involvement. Also, events over which Mueller has no jurisdiction. The charges have nothing to do with conspiring with Russians. There is not one shred of evidence of Trump conspiring with the Russians. There is LOADS OF EVIDENCE about Clinton, the Clinton-owned DNC, the Obama DOJ, FBI and CIA conspiring with Russians. Where are Mueller's indictments against these Democrats, including Hillary Clinton? The Mueller special counsel was initiated against the law, as part of an attempted coup against Trump. For a special counsel to be initiated, according to law, there must be a crime. There was no crime, just an attempt to bring Trump down. I could give you the benefit of the doubt and suggest that you are not well informed and have been exploited, demeaned and hoodwinked by the fake mainstream media that no longer practices professional journalism, no longer reports the facts, and is in fact a political arm of the Democratic Party. The fake media's exploiting the not-so-well informed is outrageous. More outrageous are those who actually know the facts and that the mainstream media is not reporting them but choose to protest against, or ignore those facts, for political gain. Both Democrats and Republicans should be outraged that there was an attempted coup in the United States. It goes against everything the U.S., democracy, ethics, decency and honor are about. If you are a man of courage and integrity, then have the courage to stand up as a man and protest loudly against this vile attempted coup, evidence for which is now overwhelming. If you cherish integrity, then wrap yourself in it for the sake of your family and/or children. Demand that the Democratic Party be cleaned up and start again with new leaders who value integrity, fight against the antics of organizations such as Antifa, demand that free speech be sacrosanct, and put forward potential laws to ensure that in a democracy, we never again have a fallen and politicized media.

  4425. @Thomas Jackson - I'm not defending any of Manafort's activities. I am protesting against Mueller's involvement in indicting him. It was beyond his jurisdiction, as the judge has indicated. The indictments do not involve Trump. Do your research. Albeit, spuriously and illegally, Mueller's mandate was to uncover Trump/Russian collusion to affect the election. I suggest you actually read up on the case; not what the mainstream media has told you. Perhaps you should take some time to read about Clinton's record of documented scandals. Recently, she set up an independent server over which classified material was sent (felony). She did this despite knowing it was an infraction. The Department of State directives she received banning independent servers have been published, let alone that, with her history and in her position, she aught to have known. She lied to congress about her server, emails and Benghazi (felonies). She tampered with and destroyed subpoenaed evidence (felony). All these felonies have been sufficiently documented for her to be charged. Now, let's talk about her start: A democrat fired her from one of her first stints as a lawyer on the Watergate Investigative Committee. He fired for, in his words, being "an unethical, dishonest lawyer and a liar." As she was practicing law, that should have been the end of any public career for her. What had she done? During discovery, when it came time to exchange information with the other side, she stole pertinent information and hid it in her house, so the other side would not see it. That was just start of her corruption: White Water, Cattle Futures, White House Travel Office, Campaign Financing, assisting ISIS, covert weapons operations through Qatar (revealed through a court case), Clinton pay-for-play, Clinton Foundation, enabler of a serial sexual abuser. Now, if you admire this kind of person and continue to support her, as well as her big-government principles, then, frankly, you have absolutely no credibility. In my opinion, when such corruption is involved, the platform no matter how good or bad is not on the table. Strzok, a traitorous coup monger, was at the centre of the illegalities, including the indictment of Flynn. In an objective court that would warrant the case being thrown out of court. I am not going to reply to anymore of your comments. We reveal so much of ourselves by what we write. The names you have listed and your points are lifted right out of the fake mainstream news. You obviously have no wherewithal to research further, instead choosing to be a parrot. And anyone, in my view who supports such blatant corruption is not worthy of debating. Start presenting the actual facts, stand up and condemn the attempted coup, then we can debate political issues. Meanwhile, your hatred for Trump is transparent and deeply irrational, without a shred of evidence to back it up.

  4488.  Loraine Jones  How old are you, Loraine Jones? Because your statement is childish and uninformed. Firstly, the Iranian militia attacked the U.S. embassy. No one in the U.S. started it. Secondly, what kind of an upbringing have you had that you think it is just fine to call anyone a mfr, let alone the president who has delivered the best economy for all ethnic groups ever and has the courage not to allow a second Benghazi situation, such as Hillary Clinton allowed. Maybe take some time to start learning about recent Middle East events and Hillary Clinton's and Obama's decisions and actions that have caused death and destruction to millions in the Middle East and caused the worst crisis in Europe since WW2. I suggest you also learn about the goals of extreme Islamists and terrorists, including the consequences to the West if you ignore their goals, or just let them attack Western installations and the West itself, while ignorant people call for no retaliation, opening the door to more attacks, death and destruction. There are plenty of books written by Muslims who explain clearly the consequences of ignoring the Islamist uprising. I suggest you research them and become informed for the sake of your family. By the way, the first step to becoming informed is to stop watching CNN. It is no longer a reputable news outlet. In fact it is no longer a news outlet at all. It is a goebbelsian arm of the corrupt democrats, who are doing everything they can 24/7 to bring the president down. I suspect you don't understand where the word "goebbelsian" comes from. Learn about that too, and how closely the modus operandi of outlets such as CNN now resemble those strategies and tactics. Fortunately, more and more Americans are waking up to media corruption, and CNN's ratings are plummeting.

  4489.  @jag5014  Did you ever read that agreement? Even the summary of the agreement? If you did not, then you are not qualified to give your opinion on it. I did read it. It was chilling, shocking!! Would have, without any doubt, have put the whole ME area in serious danger and would, without doubt, if the clerics remained in charge, have resulted in nuclear confrontation within that region. Since the 2016 presidential campaign, I have found it alarming at the epithets, slander and innuendos from the left. (Typical right-wing chicken hawk). Think about what you have said there, without, apparently, any knowledge of the area whatsoever. How do you think the ISIS and follow-up mess occurred in Syria, Iraq, then Libya? HILLARY CLINTON, and to use your words CHICKEN HAWK). She has been one of the most hawkish politicians in our lifetime. HILLARY CLITON had a highly misguided, and when one actually researches her decisions and actions in the ME, astonishingly naive, strategy of regime change. She took it upon herself, as if she were some world dictator, to decide to go into a country, where she had no business, in an attempt to remove its leader. (Ukraine, by the way, a leftover of that dangerous regime-change strategy). When asked at a book signing why she assisted the terrorists, she responded that they were only "moderate rebels." You can find that video on line. Those Hillary Clinton "moderate rebels" were nothing but Syrian home-grown and insurgent terrorists. Assad had the home-grown terrorists safely locked up in his prisons. So their supporters came up with a strategy. Rebel against the appalling conditions in Assad's prisons as a ruse for foreign support. Hillary Clinton fell for it. It fit in with her regime-change goals. She assisted the terrorists with funds and weapons. That was the beginning of the infiltration of ISIS and massive death and destruction in Syria and Iraq. Even if one believes in regime change (which by the way, people on your left-liberal side are now screaming and ranting against -- ironic, considering their love affair with Hillary Clinton), that should have been something negotiated with diplomacy, not by starting a civil war. As for her decisions and actions in Libya, leading up to Benghazi, her naivete and recklessness were chilling. The various waring factions in that country saw her coming. They played her. To cut a long story short, she again assisted them to continue her regime-change modus operandi. All hell broke loose. If you don't think she is a vicious hawk, find the video of her crackling and laughing, "We came, we saw, he died," referring to Qaddafi, the leader, who was by that time starting to co-operate with the West. I am sure you saw the treacherous way he was killed, played live for the world to see. Her actions in Libya resulted in the collapse of Libya, chaos, destruction death, the largest modern slave trade, and a huge people-smuggling operation (including highly uninformed Western NGOs), and the most serious crisis in Europe since WW2, along with the largest humanitarian crisis witnessed in our lifetime. If you want a decent life, without war, I suggest you start actually learning about the details of the various continuously on-going wars, how they start, and in this case the goals of the terrorists waging those wars. You probably won't read this, but others will -- others who are interested in the facts, whatever their political leanings. As a woman, shocked by the number of women who support Hillary Clinton who has a documented record of corruption, felonious activities and enabling serial sexual abuse, I started to question liberals and anti-Trumpers to find out why. I discovered, without exception, they knew absolutely nothing about either Trump's or Clinton's record, political platforms, philosophies and goals. They supported Hillary Clinton because she is a woman (to hell with history or suitability), or because she advocated large government spending (check the current US deficit), welfare and open borders (yes, she confessed that to her pay-for-play bankers), or because corrupt news outlets, now merely political PR arms, told them to hate Trump and lied that he had colluded with Russians. One couldn't make this stuff up. Shockingly, those who watched and continue to watch or read the corrupt media are being seriously exploited for being uninformed. You should be outraged by that.

  4587. @Brian McDonald -- Where have you been over the past year? Our whole judicial system is based on the rule of law and nobody is above the law? Are you kidding us? Hillary Clinton is running free. She set up an independent server over which classified and confidential informations was transferred (felony). She lied to congress about her server, emails and Benghazi (felonies). She tampered with and destroyed subpoenaed evidence (felony). The special counsel was set up without cause. Special counsels require a crime to have been committed. Donald Trump has not been found guilty of any crime. It turns out it was Hillary Clinton colluding with the Russians. She bought and payed for (costing her over $12 million) a phoney Russian dossier, originated by a foreign national (ex British spy) and padded by her own smear merchants (Blumenthal and Shearer) loaded with false information about Donald Trump, which dossier was used illegally to obtain a warrant to spy on a political opponent and his team to influence the election and bring him down if he won. That, my friend, is an attempted coup. That, my friend, amounts to treason, and not one of the cabal has actually been charged yet, although criminal referrals have been issued against McCabe. None of that is hearsay. It has been proven through emails, the courts, congressional hearings and investigations and internal FBI investigations. Shame on anyone who attempts to mitigate or ignore this massive political scandal or project it on to Donald Trump in an attempt to bring him down, because, indeed, nobody is supposed to be above the law, but that is far from the case right now. A band of democrats should have been charged. Hopefully, they will be charged. They deserve to be in prison for a very long time, and that includes Hillary Clinton, at the centre of this shameful scandal.

  4588. @HenryFWagons -- How old are you, Henry? Just read your comment again. See if you can analyze it from an adult perspective. You watch the mainstream fake news outlets, don't you? How do I know? Because you are under the impression that Donald Trump lies. My guess is that I have been around a whole lot longer than you. How do I guess that? People of my generation were educated under a far better education system. We were taught how to debate; what is an argument; what is not; what makes sense; what does not. Many who have been educated in dumbed-down education systems have not been taught how to debate with reason and intelligence, based on the facts. "How the hell do you think Trump is going to stop himself from lying," is a puerile statement, not an argument, without background, biased conjecture, and as bigoted as it gets. Not an argument. As I mentioned, my guess is that I have been around a whole lot longer than you. There has never before in the history of the U.S. been such an open transparent president as Donald Trump -- certainly not in my time; and I have witnessed a whole pile of presidents. He's straight forward, direct, gets immediately to the point. That's how things get done. That's one reason he is so popular, albeit, the fake mainstream media is doing everything it can to make people he's unpopular and lies. On that note, you might want to recall Bill Clinton. More than once he flat out lied directly to the nation. His actions resulted in his being both disbarred and impeached. You might also want to recall the outcome of one of Hillary Clinton's first stints as a lawyer. A democrat fired her for, in his words, being "an unethical, dishonest lawyer and a liar." As she was practising law at the time, in decent society, that should have been the end of any public career for her. She also recently lied to congress about her server, emails and Benghazi (felonies). Yet, unbelievably, liberals throw all ethics to the wind, and accept her corruption without protest. How do they explain such appalling reactions to their children? Unfortunately, the liberal mainstream media long ago lost any semblance of professional journalism. Watching the clips of their puerility, unbelievable bias, opinions dressed up as news, and spewing irrational hatred of President Trump is chilling -- hair curling. The loss of professional journalism is one of the worst crises we face today. It is so dangerous when people are fed such unadulterated, bigoted, hatred -- told he lies, with insular, uninformed watchers believing it. Liberals cannot even make an argument that the conservative view of the liberal mainstream fake media is just an opinion. The media was caught, red handed, through its own exposed emails, colluding with Hillary Clinton, the DNC and the Democrats. It is shameful, not least to the immigrants they hypocritically profess to support, because many of those immigrants fled to the United States because of the very same tyranny -- closed down free speech and government propaganda dressed up as news. If you believe yourself sufficiently informed, with precognition, to accuse Donald Trump of future lies, be a man, show yourself as educated. Step up to the plate. Tell us, with sources and substantiation, when he lied. We will then be in a position to debate you. I can assure you, you will lose, because one thing President Trump does not do is lie. (And as you are doing your research for the debate, remember that candidates run on the basis of political platforms. They are not promises; they are goals. No intelligent person, for one minute, is under the illusion that they are promises. Presidents have to work with congress, budgets and complex issues. Intelligent people are happy with someone who follows through and goes the extra mile to fulfil his goals. President Trump is doing that in spades.

  4590. @Zero Zero -- Firstly, I don't believe Trump has commented on whether he had an affair with Stormy Daniels; however, he might have had an affair with Stormy Daniels (her name speaks for itself doesn't it). It also appears as if she agreed to sign a non-disclosure agreement. If he did, it happened long before he was president and was consensual. People are asked to sign non-disclosure agreements all the time for all kinds of reasons. Affairs go on all the time as well. If those who do sign them disclose the details, then they are in contravention of the agreement and have broken the law, with legal consequences. That appears to be what this porn star has done. To put things into perspective, I suggest you review Bill Clinton's sexual activities. He was impeached and disbarred as a result of his sexual misconduct and lies. He had to pay over $800,000 to Paula Jones, with whom he did not have an affair but outright molested. Years before, he cut short his Rhodes Scholar stint at Oxford, because he was accused of rape. He did have a consensual, extra-marital, twelve-year with Gennifer Flowers. He lied about that too and told the nation he did not know her. Can you imagine being involved with a man for twelve years, then have him tell everyone he did not know you? You seem to be bothered by consensual affairs; then surely you must also be very concerned by such dismissive behavior towards the mistress. Bill Clinton, after many other documented inappropriate liaisons with women -- consensual and forced -- went on to molest an intern in his office. Yes, the word is "molest," because in the workplace, there is no such thing as consensual sex between the CEO, in a position of authority, and a very young intern. Any corporate CEO caught in the same situation would have been escorted out the door immediately, no questions asked. Frankly, @Zero Zero, intelligent people don't give a damn whether President Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniels. We care that he is on the road to denuclearizing the Korean Peninsular; that he is extremely well received by foreign leaders; that he's the first president able to make headway in restoring balanced trade between China and the U.S.; that he's on track to squash the Iran agreement (Ever read the summary of that agreement? I suggest you do, because President Trump is right. it is an unbelievably bad agreement fraught with nuclear danger for the Middle East and the world.); that the economy and employment for minorities is the best it has ever been; that he actually cares about keeping America safe and preventing immigrant-implosion of the country. Meanwhile, with all the issues on which President Trump is focused, you are up in arms about Stormy Daniels?! That is beyond incredulous! Hypothetical: A man offers to come into your house to arrest and stop a robber intent on murder; and you decline the offer, because the man many once have had a quick fling with a porn star by the name of Stormy Daniels. One couldn't make up such illogical, foggy thinking and sheer irrational, bigoted hatred of a legitimately elected president, because the mainstream press made a deal (documented) with the devil, Hillary Clinton, the DNC and the Democrats and now preys on people who either don't have the time or the wherewithal to find out the facts. You should be outraged by that.

  4637. If the ignorant Liz Truss were to become PM of Britain, it would be the death knell of already collapsing Britain. There would be no tax funds for Britain. She would send them all to Ukraine. Ukraine, that highly corrupt, bankrupt country, That country that Biden and his beholden UK, EU lap dogs are intent on destroying in their effort to destroy Russia. Liz Truss threatened to wipe Russia off the map, then, unbelievably, flew to Moscow for discussions with Sergey Lavrov, one of the most experienced, respected diplomats in the world. Her behavior towards him was abominable: threatening, chilling and ignorant. He was disgusted. Putin and Lavrov had consistently called for diplomacy to end the Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians. Diplomacy could have ended the eight-year genocide against Donbass civilians and prevented the current hostilities. Liz Truss's behavior was a trigger. It confirmed that the West was not interested in peace. Within two days Putin recognized Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbass as independent states (independent status already granted by the Minsk Agreement and ignored by corrupt Ukraine), They asked him for Russia's help to end the genocide against them. Russia formed the SMO, and along with its allies, entered Ukraine to end it. Millions were killed in WW2 fighting genocide, nazism, and an evil government in Germany. Today Russia is fighting the very same evils in Ukraine. The UK and West, on the other hand, after WW2, have chosen to support and join those very same evils in Ukraine. MADNESS and PURE EVIL - and these supposedly educated leaders want this dangerous, nazi-supporting woman as PM! You couldn't make it up!

  4669. UK politicians can, out of unbelievable ignorance, or deliberate ineptness, continue to ignore the bull elephant in the room, evil warmongering, or they can muster the moral courage to take the first four vital steps to end Britain's economic and social implosion: (1) End all sanctions against Russia and Russians. (2) End all clandestine and official support for Ukraine, including funding, weapons, training, support of Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians, Ukrainian targeting of Russian-Ukrainian civilians, nazism in Ukraine, propping up a totally bankrupt, corrupt, Ukrainian government that allows no opposition. (3) Immediately deport all migrants landing in Britain (no hearings; they are illegals) and dramatically reduce far-too high legal immigration. (4) Start immediate action to create new MIC models to end the requirement for war to generate profits. Curb destructive alliances among the MIC, politicians and the City. How about Britain coming to terms with its much diminished geopolitical realty to become a neutral country, just with an ace home guard to prevent migrant, NATO and other invasions and focus on rebuilding British innovation and industrial success, while deterring US interference and hegemony. Russia, under Putin, never did anything untoward towards to the US, UK, EU, WEST. Where are British journalists? Not one seems to have aggressively questioned the reason for war against Russia, using Ukrainian men as proxy fodder to die for US/UK evil intentions. The politicians will respond that Putin is evil, because he invaded Ukraine. The press will not ask why he invaded Ukraine. Putin and Lavrov consistently and relentlessly called for diplomacy to end Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russian civilians and US/NATO aggression. The US, UK, EU, WEST refused, hence the SMO to end the genocide. Liz Truss declared war on Russia BEFORE the SMO. She screeched that Britain would target anyone in the Kremlin who had anything to do with the continuation of Russia, an ignorant, reckless declaration of war and intent to wipe Russia off the map. The SMO was formed after her abominable behavior towards Lavrov in Moscow. Their doesn't appear to be any pushback against this immoral, unethical, evil war against Russia that is imploding Britain the EU, and not least the US, the instigator of this war for undeclared, depraved, unacceptable reasons, details of which belong in another thread. The first two tasks are easy. Simply leaders with courage and leadership skills. The second two tasks are more in depth and long term, but just the public intentions for change will start the process of saving Britain.

  4750. Astonishing that Ann Widdecombe, of all people, would admire the chilling, reckless, threatening, dangerous, ignorant, Liz Truss. Liz Truss's reckless declaration of war against Russia BEFORE its SMO to defeat Ukrainian genocide against the Donbass Russians, was instrumental in initiating the current hostilities, death and destruction we we are witnessing today, as she goads British and Ukrainian men to fight and die as proxy fodder for her evil intentions. British leaders have messed up Britain socially and economically, but the most abominable actions of British leaders EVER, has been engaging in a manufactured war against Russia, the real reason for which they have never expressed. Putin is "evil," they shriek for invading Ukraine, as their justification for sending Ukrainian men to die. But Putin IS NOT EVIL. Boris Johnson & Liz Truss are evil. Putin and Lavrov, since 2014, have consistently called for diplomacy to end the Ukrainian Azov genocide against Ukrainian Russians. The West refused. Diplomacy would have ended the genocide and prevented the current hostilities. Before Russia's SMO, Liz Truss threatened to wipe Russia off the map. To hell with the lives of 144,000,000 Russians, or the Ukrainians who die fighting. Russia, under Putin, has NEVER threatened Britain or done anything harmful or untoward to Britain. Liz Truss's exact words were that Britain would "hit targets including those who are key to the Kremlin's continuation of the Russian Regime." A reckless declaration of war. Why? What for? What does Britain owe failed Biden that it would follow his orders to side with, and support, genocide, nazism, highly corrupt government and a tyrannical dictator, the very same horrors against which millions died fighting against Germany in WW2. Support Liz Truss, and that is what you are supporting. The real reason for this vile war against Russia? To generate profits for the Military Industrial Complex. Bodies For Profit. Pure Evil. To generate profits and contracts for the Financial, Insurance and Real Estate Sector to rebuild Ukraine after destroying it. To tear Russia apart to divide it up into Western elite, globalist spheres of influence to plunder its resources. The largest invasion and colonization ever planned in human history. Shame on Britain if Liz Truss becomes prime minister.

  4768. The reality: This war was a US hegemonic war to tear Russia apart, using Ukraine as the bloody battlefield and supplier of unwilling Ukrainian conscripts to die as proxy fodder for evil US/NATO/West paleo, cold-war, regime-change ambitions. The US-initiated Maidan Coup was the door to US interference and US military brass on Ukrainian ground. The US willingly and very handsomely paid Ukraine/Zelensky for its lethal, dirty work on behalf of the US, pretending to the uninformed that it was all about helping Ukraine. (The population wouldn't have been so placid if they knew it was an offensive war to tear Russia apart.) The Maidan Coup spilled into Civil War that in turn triggered US/NATO/West-supported genocide against the Donbass Russians (Donetsk and Luhansk). Concurrently Ukraine was rolling out diabolical legislation to discriminate and ethnically cleanse Russian-Ukrainians, many of whom lived in the east. America's war blended in with the Ukrainian civil war - Ukrainians against Russian-Ukrainians. Russia activated its SMO after Putin recognized Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states OUTSIDE Ukraine, after the US/NATO/West/Ukraine ignored his calls - pre- and post-Minsk Agreement for peace and independence for Donetsk and Luhansk WITHIN Ukraine. They asked Russia for help to end the Ukrainian genocide against them. Accordingly Russia activated its SMO to end the Ukrainian genocide, discrimination and ethnic cleansing, nazism, and militarization against Russian-Ukrainians, which horrors were threatening Russia, as well as to end the US/NATO/West acts of war against Russia from Ukraine, a non-NATO country. Those Ukrainian horrors led to Ukraine's losing territory. It will never be returned. President Trump is sweeping US culpability for starting the war under the rug. Without admitting US culpability, he simply blames Biden for funding the war - helping Ukraine - and not ending it. In my view that is a serious mistake. Overcoming US culpability has to be a foundation for serious and lasting peace, as well as on-going cooperation with Russia. It puts an unpleasant light on Trump's proposed Ukrainian resources deal - siphoning 50% of Ukraine's resources (revenues) for the US, when Ukraine was the US's ally and proxy, with 1.8 million Ukrainian men KIA. I don't know why Trump is doing this. Is it because he doesn't like being a loser, even if it means world peace? Or is it because he's tipping his hat to on-going MIC support? Or is it simply because he's not up to scratch with the reality? A shame, because his actions in the US are incredible - historically iconic.

  4790.  @genestarwind4610  Just a very few of the numerous facts. You are making yourself look extremely foolish and ignorant. The FBI mounted a plot against President Trump. That is a fact. During her failed presidential race, Hillary Clinton fabricated a lie about Trump/Russia collusion to detract from her email scandal. That is a fact. How do we know? John Brennan, head of the CIA at the time, briefed Obama about it. That briefing has been released to the public. Hillary Clinton then funded a false dossier to back up her lies. How do we know? Her laundered funds have been traced from the DNC, through her dodgy law firm, Perkins Coie, to her smear agents, Fusion GPS, who were working with a former British spy Christopher Steele to create the false dossier. How do we know it was false? The prime source, Igor Danchenko, a suspected Russian spy, who worked for the ultra-left think tank, the Brookings Institute, told us so in sworn testimony under FBI questioning and from documentation in the Alfa Bank court case in Europe. Also affidavits from the same case have proven that the named sub-sources had absolutely nothing to do with the dossier. The false dossier was then used to defraud the FISA Court to obtain warrants to spy on innocent Americans in an attempt to obtain dirt on President Trump. No dirt was obtained. How do we know? From direct testimony of the incidents from the targeted individuals. The first plotter indicted, a lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, pled guilty to altering an email to defraud the FISA Court in order to illegally obtain warrants to spy on innocent Americans in an attempt to obtain dirt on President Trump. A second lawyer, Michael Sussman, has been indicted for lying when he provided false information to the FBI and another agency supposedly linking the Trump Campaign to the Alfa Bank. The Alfa Bank just won its court case against Christopher Steele who has been ordered to pay huge sums to two plaintiffs. On Jan. 5, 2017, Obama, Biden et al held a meeting at the White House, during which they plotted to frame an innocent man, knowing he was innocent, and set their plot in motion. His name is General Flynn. He had done nothing wrong. They wanted to get rid of him as National Security Advisor, because he had plans to overhaul the intelligence community, as well as knowing too much about their shady activities in Ukraine. Also getting rid of him, they reasoned, would bring President Trump down. Biden was particularly proactive in that meeting, suggesting that they use the Logan Act against General Flynn. The Logan Act was enacted in 1799 to prevent people without authority from dealing with foreign governments. No one has ever been convicted under that archaic act. General Flynn had kept the relevant authorities informed about all his meetings before becoming NSA that may have had Russian officials attending, and as incoming NSA, he had authority. Meanwhile, Biden's drug addicted son was tripping across the world dealing with foreign governments without authority. He was the bagman for Biden's foreign influence peddling. How do we know about that meeting? From Susan Rice's CYA note on her computer and from their own meeting notes, later released to the public through a FOIA request or lawsuit (can't remember which). How do we know about Biden's foreign influence peddling? Peter Schweizer first disclosed the details of the Biden corruption in his book "Secret Empires," published in 2018. Joe Biden's sharing in the profits of the corrupt influence peddling were concretely proved in documents from Hunter Biden's laptop. Both information about, and documents on, the laptop were censored by Facebook and Twitter as well as the corrupt mainstream media before the election, in order that Biden supporters would not know about it. How do we know about much of the FBI's plot against President Trump? From Peter Strzok's and Lisa Page's emails. Etc...........................

  4823.  @rutous9031  Totally agree with you about Stalin. Time Magazine names people of the year not for positive accomplishments but for influence. Apparently Time named Stalin Man of the Year in 1939, because the Non-Aggression Pact between Germany and the USSR was so significant in giving Hitler more time, as well as supplies, to prepare for war. I don't buy that explanation, as the pact was in August 1939 and Germany started WW2 in September 1939, hardly more time to prepare for war or trade for supplies. Apparently the 1942 Man of the Year was because of Stalingrad; however, that battle didn't end until February 1943, so I don't buy that either. I admit I have quickly skimmed articles about the reasoning, so I might have missed more persuasive reasons. The articles appear to be attempting to justify the awards retrospectively. Stalin, of course, one of the most evil "leaders" of all time. The starvation of millions in the Ukraine and the Gulag were well underway in 1932. It would be beyond belief that editors of Time Magazine at the time were not aware of the reality under Stalin, so in my view naming Stalin Man of the Year for whatever reason was unconscionable. Time Magazine has become a pathetic, sorry excuse of a magazine, naming Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Persons of the Year in 2020. Why? Because they stole an election? Because of their non-existent accomplishments? Because they fit Time's liberal message? Or Time showing its real colors! If Time names persons of the year for their impact on world affairs, the naming Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would have been appropriate for 2021, because they have made a colossal mess of the United States and hence world affairs.

  4847. @Liberty AboveAllElse Before I respond, Liberty, how old are you? Where were you brought up? Where were your parents? Did you go to second-rate schools? I ask because, you resort to name calling instead of reasoned debate ("blathering moron"). Name calling is nothing less than bullying, a vile and unworthy practice. Now to respond. Trading halts happen all the time for various reasons, including volatility, investigations, liquidity, capital requirements, margin, etc.). We will quite likely find out that these trading halts were to do with liquidity and capital requirements. Would you be the first to cry wolf if the company ignored those issues and allowed trading to continue, thus imploding the whole company and every single client along with it. I reiterate, that both sides of this situation were wrong, using the market as a battleground for win/lose games that had nothing to do with investing in any one of the companies in play. Only fools would be investing in any one of these companies. Their medium-term prospects are extremely dire. Those who wanted to purchase shares in any one of them, saw a market play to make a quick buck. And by the way, I suggest you look askance at the poor-me, retail investor conspiracy that is being floated. To move the stock up so precipitously in such a short time had to involve day traders and likely institutions, both of whom are hardly amateurs. As the markets affect every single one of us, directly or indirectly, the importance of market integrity cannot be overemphasized. Integrity of the market means fair, orderly and efficient markets. Win/lose games among gotcha win/lose players should have no place in efficient markets. Now it appears these 'davids" are moving on to play havoc in the commodities market (silver). If you know anything about the games Soros plays, you should be ashamed of yourself for not having the guts go against the cheering crowd.

  4861. Before Meghan Markle was involved with the Royal Family she was an incredibly uninformed, political activist. I don't recall one philanthropic project she founded, funded and successfully ran. She publicly threw puerile epithets President Trump's way, calling him a racist and misogynist, the crying mantras of ignorant, woke, paid demonstrators, without a shred of evidence to back up her claims. Not even an attempt to substantiate her claims. All informed, ethical people - left or right - know Trump is neither a racist nor a misogynist. MM simply spat out epithets she had heard on the likes of CNN. The astonishing aspect about her puerile activism is that she trashed the leader of the UK's greatest ally, the United States, yet neither the Queen, nor the British parliament objected to her marriage to Prince Harry to become a representative of the British Head of State. If, as the Queen had done with Princess Margaret, she had approved Harry's marriage to MM on the condition that he give up his royal duties, titles, and privileges, things might have turned out differently for the Royal Family. Peter Townsend, whom Princess Margaret had wanted to marry, was a British treasure, a much decorated WW2 pilot, publicly respected and admired, beloved equerry to King George VI, diplomatic and discreet, but divorced (just as MM was divorced), so not suitable. When faced with that choice, Margaret chose her royal duties, titles and privileges. If Harry had been faced with that choice (before MM's indoctrination), he might have chosen his royal duties and privileges instead of MM, or he might have agreed to relinquish his duties, titles and privileges, saving Britain and the Royal Family from the headache and risks of H's and M's behavior now, counting on their royal titles to catapult their commercial endeavors. In my view, MM, is unread and undereducated. She thought she could marry a prince and obtain an instant platform for her political activism. She had no idea the Royal Family must be apolitical. As for any chances of ever becoming president. NIL. She's a self-absorbed narcissist, not up to putting in the work required for a presidential bid. For MM, money is an adjunct to any left-wing altruism. A member of congress? Maybe. There are more than a few unread, undereducated members of Congress. If the US wants to climb out of the mess in which it finds itself, creating legislation for threshold qualifications for political candidates might be a very wise idea. Threshold qualifications equivalent to, say, the tough CFA three-year course. MM would never pass such a course.

  4865. Before I start, confirmation out today on X of the gross distortion of death statistics from Gaza. One of the main reasons for Russia's SMO is to end the Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians. The war for Russia is also existential, the West having been crystal clear about its intention to tear Russia apart. The number of deaths of Ukrainians is monumental. The reason for Israel's war in Gaza is retaliation for Hamas's terrorism, heinous atrocities and genocide against Israeli civilians. The war for Israel is also existential, Hamas Gazans having been crystal clear about their intention to decimate Israel "from the river to the sea." The number of deaths of Gazans has been extremely exaggerated and not close to Ukrainians KIA, but significant, as Hamas has blended its terrorist operations with its civilian activities. Genocide is not tolerated in civilized societies - not under any circumstances - even if it take war and human collateral damage to end it. WW2's European Theatre is a great example of that. Some people support Russia (as I do), despite the monumental death toll, but do not support Israel, despite the large death toll, albeit much smaller than Ukraine's. (I support Israel.) One cannot selectively pick and choose which cases of genocide to support and which cases of genocide not to support. Genocide is always wrong and must be rooted out, even if that takes war and human collateral damage, as it has done in Gaza, because Hamas has used its own citizens as human shields and blended its terrorist actions with its civilians. If you don't like the human collateral damage in Gaza - and nobody does - then razor down on the cause: Hamas invasion of Israel and genocide against Israeli citizens. Selectively calling out a country as uncivilized, because it retaliates against genocide, while sympathising with the country that committed the genocide, is treading on very dangerous and ignoble ground.

  4931. @UCmzhKbvxSQyfBxCaViIf8_Q Can't imagine why you are lecturing me. I am right there with you on single motherhood. Do not agree with it at all. I should say I don't agree with the choice. It's always bad for the children. If such a choice relies on government, it is very bad for everyone else as well as the children. Some women, though, are forced into that situation. Having said that, for a very long time now I have been writing about the need for life skills and planning courses, starting in grade school and all the way through high school, as a requirement for graduation. Such a curriculum would include teaching how to plan one's life with correlated goals for career, family, finances, health, passions and leisure activities. For example, for a woman to have a goal to climb a corporate ladder and have four children without the wherewithal to have 24/7 care for them would not be a correlated and feasible goal. The goal of such life-planning education would be to eliminate reliance on government. It is obvious that we cannot rely on government, corporations or these days, even families for security or a safe place to land when life throws its curves. As for the history of the women's movement, well I wasn't around for the suffragettes, but I was most certainly around for the momentum of the movement in the 1970s. I don't need to look up or cherry pick the history. I was there. It wasn't all about equality at all. It was about equal opportunity and the right of choice. It was about getting rid of the pink ghetto in offices. The pink ghetto was about women serving coffee, washing the dishes, picking up dry cleaning, no rights to higher positions (or places in graduate schools), being addressed by their first names, while the men were addressed by Mr. so and so, etc. -- not about the value of different jobs. Today there are no glass ceilings for women. Women are in high positions in every industry you can possibly imagine. Women create their own glass ceilings. Having said that, the notion of lessening standards for women in, say, engineering or other faculties (that just happened in Australia) is abhorrent and dangerous. I am vehemently against the right to equal outcomes, affirmative action, continued high legal immigration, illegal immigration (The elephant in the room of globalism and open borders is that all the migration is in one direction -- to the West. Guess what happens when a country fills itself up with the world's dispossessed or more people than it can handle. Globalism is a euphemism for replacing the people of Western countries at their expense.) I am also vehemently against identity politics, the notion of race (We are all one race, the human race), and safe places for unfortunate students whose professors have turned them into babies. Jobs, university positions and any immigration (that should be based on two-way equal exchanges) should be strictly about meritocracy. There, you have some of my principles of life.

  5106. Hillary Clinton turning on one of her own. Interesting. I understood she met with Elizabeth Warren the other day! A deal? (Clinton president/Pocahontas VP -- can't imagine HRC volunteering for second place.) A support quid pro quo agreement to entrench Clinton's policies? Interestingly, in an ethical decent society each of these women would have been precluded from running for any public office. A Democrat fired Hillary Clinton from the Watergate Commission for, in his words, being "an unethical, dishonest lawyer and a liar." What had she done? She stole exculpatory evidence and hid it in her house, so the other side would not see it. She should have been disbarred, and particularly as she was practicing law, prohibited from running for public office. Elizabeth Warren got into university/ law school (not sure if it was university and law school or just law school) on the basis of a fraud (identity politics). Everything she has accomplished and all the money she has made since then is courtesy of that fraud/affirmative action. Why does a country allow such a person to run for any public office? She gave a hollow apology without consequences. An apology without consequences is no apology at all.) I believe she should return all earnings spilling out of her fraud to Native Americans, relinquish her degrees, and remove from her resume, all accomplishments spilling out of the fraud. Neither should have been allowed to run for public office, especially in a presidential race. Neither deserve any respect whatsoever from decent, ethical people.

  5293. @Zack Sherman - How old are you Zack? Never learned about acceptable behavior and ethics in college? Are you even in college? Where were your parents when you were growing up? Clinton's "consensual" sexual encounter had nothing to do with his job as a president? Where is your common sense? Ever worked? Know anything about workplace requirements and expectations? If a CEO were caught having an office sexual liaison with a young intern, he would be escorted out of the building, with no opportunity for explanations. FIRED. In ethical companies and society, an office sexual liaison between a CEO and a young employee or intern is NEVER considered consensual, because of the immense power gap and huge age difference. It is always considered molestation. You should read what you say before you post it. Essentially you have said it should have been just fine for Clinton to abuse his power and have a sexual relationship with a young intern and lie about it, but if Kavanaugh is accused (without a shred of evidence) he is guilty and must be sent down for defending himself against such a vile accusation. NO PROOF WHATSOEVER THAT HE DID ANYTHING UNTOWARD. "He has already perjured himself"?!! Really? Only cowards and fools who don't know the facts resort to such nasty, slanderous innuendos. Provide your proof that he has perjured himself, or apologize to him, his family, and every decent person, who understands that in a free democracy, accusations without evidence can never go forward to trial and should never be allowed to destroy lives. Now let's talk about likely perjury. Dr. Ford said she had NEVER helped anyone in anyway over a polygraph. Turns out that is a lie (with evidence). She said she couldn't remember if she had turned over her therapist's notes to reporters, or if she had provided her own claim about their contents. Don't remember is a classic tactic to sideline perjury. Dr. Ford's complete testimony is looking very much like perjury, except that through her own techniques or those of therapists, her mind is totally fogged up. She thinks she remembers these things, albeit every witness she has named has categorically refuted her claims, even her supposedly best friend at the time. Brett Kavanaugh is a partisan activist?!! Provide your evidence or hunker down ready for slander charges to be brought against you. Lawyers work on all sides of an issue with objectivity. He is known for following the law, rather than interpreting it to create new law. That is why he is such a good supreme court pick for all people. Are you too under-educated to understand that. If there is a partisan activist here it is YOU. Condemning a man without an ounce of evidence. Is that what you want in society? Imagine if your co-workers or fellow students accused you of a crime without any evidence, and the executives or professors sided with them, and publicly shamed and dismissed you, even though you had done nothing wrong and they had no evidence. Anyone can understand that is not what decent society is all about. Societies that allow people to be destroyed on the basis of accusations -- evidence not required -- are hell holes (think Nazi Germany). How ironic that Democrats are yelling that Trump and his supporter are NAZIs -- any epithet without reason or intelligence will do -- yet the behavior of Democrats over Brett Kavanaugh and the attempted coup against President Trump are right out of Goebbels' play book. We weep for your children (now or in the future), if you don't develop some ethics and common sense.

  5363. Unaffordable housing in Canada is only partially a supply/demand issue. It is mostly a pricing issue, with the entry of private equity and large funds, REITs into the real estate development market. The rental market is growing faster than the mortgage market. Pricing Issues. Continuous annual rent increases just because landlords can, without scrutiny. Rents never go down with inflation. Always up and up and up. Above Guideline Increases (AGIs), a corrupt practice to pass "capital costs" on to tenants. An unethical practice in itself, also abused to create dodgy "capital costs," often actually maintenance costs, to increase Return on Investment (ROI) to high-net-worth passive investors. Straight from the pockets of struggling renters into high-net-worth pockets. Financial institutions purchase apartment buildings, either invent expansions for higher and/or uncapped rent increases; double, triple and quadruple rents after rudimentary refurbishments after a tenant has left. Using AGIs to override government percentage caps on increases; dramatically increasing rents when one set of tenants leaves, after rudimentary refurbishments to "justify" the increases; continuous annual increases, all dramatically increase total rents. Annual percentage increases may be regulated and stay the same; however, the actual amounts of the increases get larger and larger as total rents increase. Supply / Demand Issues Come on in to Canada. We are a country of immigrants. More and more and more, especially non-white. We are WEFers and subscribe to diminishing white Canadians. As for illegal migrants, well we won't deport you. We will pay your way. Move into a hotel or expensive apartment building. The government or NGOs will pay, while Canadians struggle to pay.

  5373. Changing voting habits. Yes. That will help. People continue to support their favorite political parties out of tradition, after the parties have become corrupt. They continue to align with the parties, because they are often uninformed - unaware of changed platforms. The Democrat Party in the US is a great example. Many support it, unaware that it is no longer a classical liberal party. Perhaps it's time to end political parties. Simply vote for individuals based on their principles, common sense, ethics, smarts, experience and results. Unfortunately, there is another element at play. Changed voting will be like pushing a rope. The millions of migrants and immigrants - those with cultures that clash with British culture - will vote against you. Ed Husain in his amazingly frank book, "The Islamist," mentioned the dilemma of Muslim immigrants who do not support British traditions or culture: terrorism and violence for change? Or, change through the electoral system at the voting booths. This book should be required reading for all British politicians - in fact all politicians today. People are afraid to view migration and immigration with detachment. Afraid to be bullied if they call out the obvious. They justify mass migration and immigration with their hearts, not understanding that filling a country to overflowing breaking point - especially with clashing cultures - will destroy the country socially and economically. The new country will become the countries from which the newcomers fled.

  5409. Had a good war?!!! Meanwhile, exactly, good for Nigel! Shame on this host, leading the way to categorizing people by gender and race, rather than as individuals deserving of their positions or not. This equity business has predictably taken a very dangerous, unacceptable turn to dehumanization and mediocrity! Shameful! Back to good war?!! There is NEVER a good war, especially when the war has been manufactured for spurious reasons that have never been credibly explained. Putin is "evil," they say in an attempt to justify the horrifying spectacle of appalling, inept Western leaders (with a chilling UK sub-leader, Liz Truss, in the forefront) signing on to support, fund, train and weaponize nazified militias of the most corrupt, bankrupt country in Europe, Ukraine, as they continue and accelerate genocide against Donbass Russians (over 14,000 Russian men, women and children killed to date w/ that number vastly increasing over the last few days as Zelensky increases Ukraine's genocide against civilians, courtesy of weapons from the West. Putin has consistently, for eight years, through the Minsk Accords, called for diplomacy to end the Ukrainian Nazi Azov genocide against Donbass civilians. The West refused diplomacy. Its ally, Ukraine, ignored the Minsk Agreement that guaranteed peace and independent status for Donetsk and Luhansk. The shelling continued, urged on and supported by the US/NATO/collective West. Biden threw out evil epithets against Putin and Russia, who have done nothing untoward to the US/UK/EU/West. Putin again called for diplomacy. The US/West refused. To cut a long story short, Russia created a SMO to unilaterally, with its allies, end the genocide and US/NATO aggression. After WW2, who in a million years, would have imagined we would be witnessing the West support genocide, corruption, Nazi militias and outright, unprovoked military aggression in a country where they should have no business. Why? It is Biden and his Western lapdogs who are evil -- all in the name we conclude, without official explanation, of MIC, OGAM and FIRE profits. Bodies for Profits. Pure evil! Boris Johnson and Liz Truss are not fit for leadership. The quicker they are banished, the better for the UK, the world, and Russian and Ukrainian men who will escape death fighting a Western manufactured war against Russia, using Ukrainian men as fodder to die in battle remotely orchestrated by the likes of fossilized Joe Biden, impervious Boris Johnson and wicked Liz Truss.

  5430. Make sense? Maybe, maybe not. Are we just talking about projection involving pay hikes? Or are we talking about projection involving working for an organization currently involved in evil policies? Both are far from a black and white issues. Albert Einstein once remarked on all the evil in the world (much of the evil in the West today, alarmingly similar to the evil of his time), but he warned that more evil are those who do nothing about it. (A motivator for my online political involvement.) There is something to be said for walking away from an organization that is involved in evil, especially at the higher levels. I get it, that it takes courage. I get it, that many at the top and bottom have been lied to and misled about the West's manufactured war against Russia. I get it, that walking away means walking away from a salary. I get it, that the majority are just cogs in the wheel. Still today there is debate about the acquiescence and silence of Germans in 1930s and 1940's Germany, particularly against Germans who worked in the Hitler government. Hitler's secretary spent five months in prison after WW2. The Nuremberg Trials created precedents for no mercy for higher ups following orders. Imagine if Germans and not been so acquiescent and silent towards their government's activities, the history of Europe might have been quite different - no holocaust. But this is a focus on pay hikes. If all the EU members got hefty pay hikes at this time, I think that is definitely an issue deserving of assertive debate. Should I be more empathetic towards EU Commission workers? Yes for some; no for others. Having said that, of course, in high inflationary times, any workers will gladly accept pay increases without delving into macro-economic consequences. I so admire your ethics to correct mistakes. On this one, don't be so hard on yourself. It's a complex issue, particularly as it goes against the EU's own executive advice to other organizations about pay hikes during inflationary times, and adds to the inflationary upward spiral. Not to forget that a key component of failing governments is the size of their bureaucracies and generally too-high pay for non-revenue generating work. These are valid issues of general debate, versus hurting individual feelings of EU government workers.

  5441. For some mysterious reason, you are not seeing the elephant in the room - maybe because your market feeders don't want you to see it, or tell about it. Europe - thanks to Ursula von der Leyen, a German, herself, - thought it was a great idea to impose evil sanctions against Russia, pretending that Russia had done some evil to Europe, when in actual fact, Russia that emerged from the collapsed USSR had never - not once - threatened, invaded or attacked the US or any of the Western countries now waging war against it, pretending it is to protect Ukraine. Ursula von der Leyen, actually publicly boasted that the US and EU conspired together BEFORE Russia's SMO, to create harsh, never-before-tried sanctions against Russia. You mentioned that Germany has been cut off from the long-term, reliable, reasonably priced energy from Russia, but didn't mention that the EU's (including Germany) sanctions cut off the Russian gas supplies that had driven Germany's success up to that time. Worse, the US planned and orchestrated the explosion of Nord Stream, tightening the screws against any renewed Russian/EU energy trade, using non-governmental agencies to create plausible deniability. Unbelievable that the US would do this to an ally, Germany, but it did; and Scholz still cowers before the US. The US reasoned that if it were able to deindustrialize Germany, which is exactly what is happening, it could sell it more expensive gas, and swoop in to take over its faltering manufacturers and corporations. The sanctions against Russia caused energy prices in the West to skyrocket, resulting in too costly factories and massive inflation, particularly for food, an industry that is hugely reliant on energy.

  5448.  @punkinhoot  Major issue today, especially in Canada, is uninformed voters. Results in dysfunctional democracy. Those who vote in ignorance, kick back and hand over responsibility, to be ruled over by inept, inappropriate governments. Are you Canadian? I have spoken to so many Canadians who voted for Trudeau who were unaware of the following: They had never heard of the UN Migrant Compact that Trudeau endorsed (unlike other Western leaders). It is a UN dictate that Western countries must accept all migrants without question and support them. One of Trudeau's actions that is destroying Canada. They did not know why Trudeau disappeared under shadows of the night from a school where he taught. He had been caught in an inappropriate s. relationship with a minor student, whom he later had sign a very lucrative NDA. That should have precluded him from ever holding public office, let alone as PM. Voters were more interested in the availability of chain migration than ethics of a leader. They did not know that Chrystia Freeland created PERMANENT legislation allowing the government to freeze bank accounts of people who disagreed with, or demonstrated, against government actions. They thought the freeze legislation was just for the period of Trudeau's emergency measures, later determined illegal. They whined against and defamed Trump in complete ignorance, as they bemoaned job issues and low wages in Canada, unaware that Trump is against the export and import of cheap labor that destroys domestic jobs and keep wages down, as has happened in Canada under Trudeau. Unbelievably many Canadians who voted for Trudeau/Freeland had never heard of the globalist WEF, yet Klaus Schwab has boasted that he has all of Trudeau's cabinet in his pocket. Chrystia Freeland is a member of its Board of Trustees. Those WEF woke and globalist policies are destroying Canada. I could go on and on, suffice it to say, with just these few examples, Canadians who voted for Trudeau in ignorance, now wonder how on earth Canada got so messed up.

  5544.  George Arndt  - Don't watch Fox News. Do watch Lou Dobbs, on of the few remaining real journalists. Did watch Hannity's excellent timeline of the attempted coup. You are right, the U.S.has not left Syria. I never said any such thing. It has left an essential contingent there. As the U.S. is oil self-sufficient and hasn't tapped into oil from Venezuela for years, your argument falls flat. President Trump does care about the people of Venezuela, as well as the return to prosperity of that country. When countries oppose the U.S. in trade, war or currency fixing, then they need a jolt. Thank goodness Trump, with more business acumen than any other U.S. president in our lifetime, has the guts to do that. He's a brilliant negotiator, including getting tough to bring about results. Taking steps to eliminate the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency? That is complete hogwash. Keep your head in the sand about Iran funding of ISIS. I recommend that you read about the history of Saudi Arabia, not a black and white history. A real balancing act, with the Royal Family (like them or hate them) a balancing act against the Wahhabis. I totally agree with you about Assad never having gassed anyone. I don't agree with Trump on much of his statements and actions in Syria, albeit, he stepped up the actions against ISIS. Nevertheless Putin deserves the lion's share of praise for pushing back ISIS in Syria. Hezbollah and and Hamas are world-wide terrorist organizations, with focus on Israel. President Trump's actions are totally correlated with his campaign platform. Campaign platforms are goals not promises. Presidents have congress with which to deal and cannot accomplish all their goals. The key is that he does not let up on them. Be happy. You are totally wrong about Trump. Of course, we cannot possibly be correlated one-hundred percent with our favorite politicians. The world is far too complicated. But learn to understand the significant issues. (For example gun laws are not. Gun ownership is entrenched in the constitution and would require a majority vote from a majority of states, so it is not going to change. In other words, a moot point in elections.) Learn to pick out what counts. Run Trump into the ground and you will be seeing Democrats taking power. What do they support right now: socialism, huge government spending, open borders, exploitive outsourcing and insourcing of cheap labor to fatten their corporate donors' pockets, sanctuary cities with all their crime, drugs and filth, massive immigration and open borders that will surely destroy a country economically and socially, no consequences for a vile attempted coup (denying, mitigating or supporting it, so no justice or consequences), unethical behavior, calls to violence, elimination of free speech, discrimination against white people, especially white men, affirmative action and quotas, resulting in a dumbed-down country, continuing massive trade deficits....etc. So think very carefully and pick your debates. Wish Trump away and prepared for what comes your way.

  5570.  Not Again  Read Witch Hunt, one of the most impeccably sourced books I have ever read about the Democrat corruption. During her failed presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton fabricated a story about Russia/Trump collusion (all made up lies) to detract from her email scandal. How do we know? John Brennan, head of the CIA at the time, briefed Obama about it. That briefing has been released to the public. Hillary Clinton went on to pay for a false dossier, the Steele Dossier, to back up her lies and to be used in plots to demean Trump and spy on innocent people to get to him. How do we know? Her laundered funds were traced from the DNC, through her law firm, Perkins Coie, to her smear agents, Fusion GPS, who were working with Steele to produce the dossier. How do we know the Steele Dossier was completely false? The prime source for the dossier, Igor Danchenko, a suspected Russian spy, working for the far-left, think-tank, the Brookings Institute, told us so in sworn testimony under FBI questioning and through documents produced in a European court case. As part of the plot against the president, FBI agents arranged to spy on innocent individuals in an attempt to find crimes that would incriminate President Trump. They used the false dossier to defraud the FISA court to obtain illegal warrants to spy on them. How do we know? From the individuals whom they targeted and spied on, from the FBI lawyer who was charged and pled guilty to altering information in an email to obtain the warrants, fr Michael Horowitz, the inspector general who investigated of the matter internally, among countless other documented information. Included in the plots to get President Trump, was a plot to bring down his National Security Advisor, General Flynn, an innocent man. On Jan. 5, 2017, a meeting was held at the White House attended by Obama, Biden and his team. During that meeting, they plotted how to frame an innocent man, General Flynn, knowing he was innocent. How do we know? From their own notes that have subsequently been released to the public, and from Susan Rice's CHA note to file. Biden was particularly proactive during that meeting, suggesting they use the Logan Act to get General Flynn. The Logan Act is an outdated act that was enacted in the early days of the US to prevent non-authorized people dealing with foreign governments. As Biden suggested this, his son, who had no authority to deal with foreign governments, was travelling around the world, negotiating illegal play-for-play payments to the Biden family for potential access to Biden as VP and potential future president. General Flynn, as incoming National Security Adviser, not only had authority, but also had disclosed his foreign meetings. @NotAgain, Just a very few examples, noting the proof, which is on the internet for you to find, of the shameful corruption of the Democrats. If you have any pride in your ethics and decency, you will take time to research all that happened under the Democrats, and turn your back on such corruption. Countries that return the culprits of such odious sedition to power will end up very badly. The signs of that catastrophic end are already with us under the Biden Regime,

  5647.  @davidshmavid5  The purpose of vaccines has always been to prevent a person from becoming infected. When it became apparent these vaccines were not working to prevent infection, the story changed to the vaccines just lessening the severity of CoVid-19. So fully vaccinated can become infected and contagious, just the same as unvaccinated can become infected and contagious. So the notion of discrimination against the unvaccinated makes no sense and is positively odious. Risk of a more severe case lies with an unvaccinated person, with apparently no risk to a vaccinated person First we were told by the scientists that masks were not necessary or functional against disease. Then we were told they were mandatory. Next expert research discovered they do not work, as the fabric spaces for all masks, including the best masks, are larger than the virus, so, in essence, masks are useless. But the mask mandates are revving up, as variants appeared, and after these scientific experts issued advisories to wear not one but two masks. The mortality rate of this virus is 2% of the world population, and in almost every case involves patients with other healthcare issues or chronic disease. For most, it is flu-like or asymptomatic, yet Fauci and now deeply questionable experts have dictated shutdowns with politicians falling over themselves to ride the lemming track of harsh and intrusive lockdowns that have played havoc on the world economy, jobs, businesses and people's lives. Yes, indeed, why not! Shut down the economy for a minute 2% mortality risk for people with other health issues. The "scientific experts" and politicians, of course, have continued to collect their salaries and benefits throughout. And, by the way, what a perfect opportunity for the draconian totalitarian fascism that is enveloping the world. Dictate health passports and the start of shared and collective databases (now confirmed) to control populations and scare them into being compliant and quiet. UTTER MADNESS!

  5696. Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine?!! Russia consistently called for diplomacy to end US/NATO aggression against Russia and the Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians that started in 2014, after the US bloody Maidan Coup spilled into civil war. Peace and independent status for Donetsk & Luhansk were negotiated with the Minsk Agreement, but corrupt Ukrainian officials, including Zelensky when he became president, ignored the Minsk Agreement. The genocide against the Donbass continued. Biden arrived in the WH and started threatening Putin. Advising the world that Putin was about to invade Ukraine. In response Putin and Lavrov continued to call for negotiations. People in the West were unaware that Biden was behind an increase in Ukraine's military presence at the border of the Donbass, with the intention of invading the Donbass and goading Russia into war. Foolish Boris Johnson sent his chilling foreign secretary, Liz Truss, to negotiate with Lavrov, a highly respected diplomat. Before she went to Moscow, she shrieked to the world, during a UK TV interview, that Britain would target anyone in the Kremlin who had anything to do with the continuation of the Russian Regime. A direct declaration of war. Her interview with Lavrov, played out for the world on video, was a disaster, her behavior, abominable. Lavrov was disgusted by her threats and ignorance. Within two days, Putin recognized Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states (not states within Ukraine with independent status, as per the Minsk Agreement). They asked for Russia's help to end the genocide against them. By the start of 2021, over 14,000 Russian men, women & children had been killed in that genocide. Putin formed the SMO to end the genocide. Evil? Millions died in WW2 to defeat genocide, nazism, and tyranny in Germany, the very same horrors that Putin and his allies are now fighting against Ukraine. Ukrainian atrocities against the Russians and civilians during these hostilities have been numerous and horrifying. The West's push for more and more weapons for Ukraine to fight to the last Ukrainian, sending Ukrainian men as proxy fodder to die for its evil war against Russia is beyond chilling. Why a war against Russia? Putin is "evil," scream the inept Western leaders and media. Nothing could be more evil than the West's destroying Ukraine in a manufactured war against Russia. The West's threats and sanctions against Russia started BEFORE Russia's SMO. Biden and his EU, UK, West cohorts have given no acceptable reason for this war. But we have figured out why. MIC profits - sale of new weapons to EU countries as they send their weapons to Ukraine! FIRE profits (Financial, Insurance and Real Estate sectors) - contracts and profits for Western companies to rebuild Ukraine after they have destroyed it! Russian resources, more easily plundered,if the West can colonize torn-apart Russian lands. Pure unmitigated evil. Thankfully, the West is losing.

  5719.  @Dubinski2382  Naked put options are legal (in other words betting on the price of the stock going down without owning the stock to cover), and might have played a role in this situation, for all we know. Undoubtedly covered put options played a role. Meanwhile, I believe there is a place for shorting in highly liquid stocks, as long as the short sellers don't engage in manipulating the price by publicly talking the stock down. By the way, the opposite occurs all the time. Do you think that is unethical and should be illegal? Very hard to monitor. Insiders or investors receive stock at pennies a share; then pump up the stock and sell. For example, acquire, say, 1,0000,000 shares at $0.50/share, then pump the share price to, say just $5.00 per share. That's a profit of $4, 500,000. This is the way many promoters (even lawyers who demand shares for their work) get very rich in the crossover from the venture to the listed market. Quite frankly, I believe both sides of the equation in this instance were despicable. Professional, experienced short sellers fighting a battle with amateur, opportunist long buyers (by the way, my guess is that many if not most were not amateur traders), using a public square. The point most people are missing, because they laud the one percenters getting nicked, is the importance of integrity of the markets for a fair, functional market. As the markets, directly or indirectly, affect all of us, this David and Goliath battle was appalling on both sides.

  5726. @Psycho Killer - OMG how ignorant. "Democratic socialism"? What exactly does that mean. Of course, it's Bernie Sanders' euphemism for socialism so people will be less frightened at the prospect and vote for him. I might remind you that during his last campaign, one of the prime ministers from one of the nordic countries (give you some homework to figure out which one) was so disgusted by Sanders' attempting to link "democratic socialism" to their countries, that he found it necessary to put out a statement to remind Bernie Sanders and his followers that the nordic countries are not socialist countries. They have some generous socialist programs, but guess what? They are heavily funded by capitalist taxes. All Western countries today are mixed economies. You can attach any kind of adjective you like on to socialism to make it sound better, but bottom line, it is still socialism (paid for by other people). Make no mistake about it, communism is socialism's child. The ignorance of many people today is astounding and very dangerous. Do you even know what USSR stands for? United SOCIALIST Soviet Republics. The difference between these two TOTALITARIAN forms of government is so hair-breadth small that, yes, they do indeed conflate into one. Under both systems, there is no private property or resources -- all are shared equally at the direction of the government. Under communism, it's not about equal sharing but about state ownership. Socialism always reverts to communism. There is not one example of socialism in history that did not turn into a totalitarian, fascist state. There is not one example of socialism that did not end up collapsing the relevant country -- democracy or dictatorship. By the way, they all end up as dictatorships. Any democratic voting is a rigged show. A progressive society (meaning innovation, entrepreneurship, meritocracy, medical technology, scientific advancement, etc.) and socialism is an oxymoron. Conservatives these days are labelled "far right." What actually does "far right" mean? Today's liberals, progressives and globalists throw out that epithet, along with Nazis and Fascists, to demean conservatives. I remind you that all advances in society today have been propagated under conservative principles and free enterprise. Do you know what NAZI stands for? National SOCIALIST German Workers' Party. What is Fascism? It is a political movement under which the government interferes and encroaches on business. Today that would fit the left end of the political spectrum.

  5770. I believe Tara Reade's case is credible. She has real evidence. Reported the incident at the time. Credible corroborating witnesses who were there at the time. Larry King Show. Having said that, most of the sexual harassment allegations we have witnessed against various politicians have been suspect at a maximum, totally without credible evidence at a minimum. It is a sordid, shameful way to attempt to destroy politicians (and other men). Dirties, and makes a mockery of, democracy. Ruins lives, families, and filthies the process, a nasty gotcha game on both the Republican and Democrat side. It needs to stop! How? Statute of limitations for reporting sexual harassment and assault. One month! That is plenty of time to report such heinous crimes. If sexual misconduct is not reported within that time and credibly verified, then it should be a no-go, with no legal standing for later claims. Meanwhile, women scream and yell for equal rights and opportunities - equality with the men. Time for them to get in the ring and fight with the men on the issues, without using spurious sexual claims, often from decades before, in place of the issues, elevating friendly banter and pats to sexual harrasment. As I mentioned, I believe Tara Reade's case is entirely credible, unlike the claims against Kavanaugh, Trump, and, yes, even Cuomo. Yet, as her claim is ridiculed and buried, we still remember Bill Clinton's sexual deviance and his wife's enabling actions, all swept under the rug by a two-faced, corrupt Democrat Party. We easily slough off Jack Kennedy's inappropriate liaisons as behavior of the times, but swoop down like vultures to tear off Cuomo's flesh for his behavior of the times. Cuomo's inept management as governor and actions around CoVid are more than sufficient to send him packing.

  5777. Very interesting and important interview. Thank you. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, a real diplomat, empathetic, pragmatic and peace loving. Rare wisdom in one country not dealing with a neighbor the way a far-off country across a large ocean would like that country to deal with the neighbor. Sanctions are a cowardly tactic of war for paper, desk generals who avoid the frontline, The US and West now dealing with destructive inflation, as a result of US/West sanctions against Russia. The Ukraine War is not a war between Ukraine and Russia. It has been a US/NATO/West hegemonic war against Russia, using Ukraine as a proxy, mixed in with Ukraine's Civl War that spilled out of the US-initiated Maidan Coup. Most bizarre that the US would be insisting on its war funds to be returned through a deal to siphon off 50% of its proxy, Ukraine's post-war mineral/resource revenues that Ukraine will need to rebuild the country.. The US willingly paid those $billions to Ukraine to do the US's lethal dirty work. A change of presidents does not alter that reality. They are sunk costs and should not be on the peace agenda. Palestinian hatred against Jews is long standing. Gaza was an independent territory that invaded Israel on Oct. 07/23. Israel militarized the West Bank in response to suicide bombers against Israel. The West Bank Palestinians were outraged with expanded Jewish settlements and Israeli military overseers. The two-state solution sounds great, but it has never worked. A very tough situation, with long-standing animosity and hatreds. Re-vamped education systems will be essential to bring peace. Who cares about net zero!

  5816. @redlightmax -- Interesting how our writing reveals so much about us, just as your comment tells us so much about you. You are under-educated ("according to who?" "Michael Cohen says different"). Among skills that separate the educated from the not-so-educated are logical extrapolation and reading comprehension. Michael Cohen never said any such thing, but an opposing lawyer did. So, you are inclined to believe the guy in court before a judge? Have you somehow missed the latest and worst, treasonous and political scandal in U.S. history, that included the obtaining of a warrant to spy on a political opposition candidate by lying to a judge in the FISA court? Or perhaps it was the judge, himself, that was corrupt and part of the plot? Evidence has come to light strongly suggesting the latter. Hillary Clinton set up a private server, over which classified and confidential material was sent (felony). She lied about that. She lied to Congress about her server, emails and Benghazi (felonies). She tampered with and destroyed subpoenaed evidence (felony). Now, that was not in court, but the same legal requirement to tell the truth applies. And while we discuss her, did you know that a democrat fired her from one of her first stints as a lawyer for, in his words, being "an unethical, dishonest lawyer and a liar." But, hey, she's a lawyer. I guess you would believe her. What had she done? In addition to unprofessional obfuscation, during discoveries, when it came time to exchange information with opposing lawyers, she stole pertinent information and hid it in her house, so the opposing lawyers would not see it. The guy in court was a lawyer, so I suggest to you that you might want to hold off on your inclination to believe the person before a judge. I also suggest that you make damn sure the article disclosing this incident is accurate. It came from the New York Times, an outfit that long ago lost any semblance of professional journalism. An outfit that was caught red-handed colluding with Hillary Clinton/DNC/Democrats. An outfit that resembles more closely Goebbelian propaganda than journalistic integrity. An outfit that has been caught red-handed more than once for false reporting. Now why would it be that a once liberal, but professional media organization wold stoop so low? I suggest the Mexican majority owner has a whole lot to do with that organization's decline into swamp reporting. A consideration: a hypothetical situation. Prosecutors are after you. People in your workplace who don't like you have been making up lies about you, focusing on negatives instead of ever pointing out the amazing work you have done improving efficiency. They are jealous, you are a new employee, an outsider who has rattled their complacency. They made up lies about your having broken the law. So now the prosecutors are after you. Thankfully you can let out your frustrations with a great lawyer you have managed to hire. You can do this comfortably, because sacrosanct in Western democracies is the principle of lawyer-client privilege. In other words strict confidentiality between you and your lawyer. But, hey, the prosecutors hounding you have no ethics. They don't care about legal principles. At the dead of night, they break into your lawyer's office, grab your confidential records and tell the world, further destroying your reputation and chances of a fair hearing. Under the circumstances of a democrat plot to destroy President Trump (with loads of evidence, not hearsay), I tend to believe Hannity. And quite frankly, even if he had ever hired and paid the same lawyer as President Trump has used, I cannot for the life of me figure out why that should be an issue.

  5855. @Priscilla Hall -- Wake up! Learn to determine what is false or twisted news, or opinions dressed up as news. It is very important that you do that, because the loss of professional journalism is one of the top crises we face today. CNN is fake news, just as ABC, NBC and CBS are fake news. I'll give you a hint as to how to start determining that something is wrong. When the media relentlessly attacks and criticizes a president, or spins his successes into failures, intelligent people know there is something very wrong. FOX is different. It is indeed a conservative leaning media outlet, but it reports the news as it is. President Trump has done absolutely nothing to deserve the ignorant puerile and irrational hatred levied against him. He has, in fact delivered the best economy ever. The fake mainstream news spins that success. After months of diatribes and opinions dressed up as news that his actions would destroy the economy, when the great economy started making them look like real fools, they changed the message that his actions will collapse the great economy. (By the way the economy always goes in cycles --- up and down). Or they spun it that it was Obama's economy, which is rubbish. Obama increased government big time and more than doubled the national debt to over $20 trillion -- a mind-blowing, shocking amount. President Trump's economy is a direct result of his pro-business platform, tax cuts, elimination of unnecessary regulations that protect no one, cost companies millions of dollars a year, and prevent entrepreneurs bringing their good ideas to fruition, insistence on fair trade deals, discouraging outsourcing that eliminates jobs and pushes wages down, discouraging insourcing that exploits imported cheap foreign labor that also eliminates jobs and also lowers wages. You will hear nothing of this on the fake news. In a restaurant a while ago, I had to sit watching CNN and this fool, Cooper Anderson, droning on about how dangerous and awful it was that Trump had a meeting with Putin. His body and facial contortions were filled with hate for Trump -- appalling for a host. Anyone who thinks the U.S. should not attempt to get along with Russia needs to tune into the might of Russia, albeit diminished recently. Only fools would advocate being enemies. The mainstream news talks about Russia as if they completely missed the collapse of the USSR. The fake mainstream news no longer checks stories, even makes stories up -- tons of retractions, twists stories to fit their political narratives. (Astoundingly, not reporting the breadth of the attempted coup, the worst scandal in U.S. political history.) During the presidential campaign CNN was, and still is, the worst. It was shocking to once again see those end of broadcast patterns when they cut off those with whom they did not agree. They painted Hillary Clinton as winning when it was becoming obvious, just by Donald Trump's rallies, alone, that he was winning. They backed Hillary Clinton, who has a long, documented record of corruption and lies. (That in itself is alarming from the media.) and who had just been caught with an independent server over which classified information was sent (felony); lying to Congress about her server, emails and Benghazi (felonies); and tampering with and destroying subpoenaed evidence (felony). These criminal actions have been proved; not hearsay. I could go on and on. What the mainstream news is doing is so disgraceful, but i have gone on too much. It will be too difficult for liberals with limited reading abilities to read.

  5857. @pennelkay - Cohen is pleading guilty to safe himself. Manafort's infractions happened about ten years ago, long before Trump Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton. Paid $12.5 million dollars that was laundered through an unethical law firm and paid to Fusion GPS to obtain a false, unverifiable Russian dossier with made up information about Trump via a disgraced, ex MI5 spy. A completely false dossier that was used to illegally obtain FISA warrants to spy on Donald Trump's campaign, and in turn used to initiate a special counsel to investigate Trump/Russian collusion of which absolutely no evidence has been found -- and unbelievably you appear to have no judgement in the weight of an issue. The attempted coup centred in Obama's FBI, DOJ and CIA is the most shameful political scandal in U.S. history. Shame on anyone who throws all ethics to the wind and turns a blind eye, attempts to mitigate it, or ignore it. If you spend any time on the internet you will notice the absolute disgust towards the behavior of the Democrats and the mainstream media and rightly so. The numbers are always for Trump in droves. Do yourself a favor and muster up the courage and decency to condemn what has happened and demand that the Democrats also condemn it, clean up their party, and move forward with a clean slate. Consideration for a non-disclosure agreement is nothing unusual. Frankly, in my view, Stormy Daniels is the dishonest one for breaking that agreement. And quite frankly the lawyer's payment to her of $130,00 (there is no evidence that Trump told him to pay her) doesn't even hit the starting line, when it comes to weighing the incredible, positive difference he has made since being elected. Do I care if President Trump told the lawyer to pay her the money? Not a bit. Do I care about the incredible economy President Trump has delivered? Absolutely. Do I care that President Trump is well on his way to making America great again. Absolutely, with the added bonus that there is now a worldwide movement behind him and to the right, as liberals clamour for socialism, attempt to block free speech, advocate and carry out violence to prevent free speech, stay silent as their politicians throw epithets (versus political debate) Trump's way, and advocate open borders that have pretty well destroyed Europe. Do I care whether Trump had three wives and was unfaithful to them? Absolutely not. I care about loudly protesting against liberal politicians advocating violence, and terrorist organizations, such as Antifa (many paid by Soros) intent on anarchy.

  5858. Payoffs to fool the public: $145 million into the Clinton Foundation pay-for-play slush fund in return for the sale of 20% of America's precious uranium deposits to Russia. $12.5 million from Hillary Clinton to pay for a false Russian dossier to influence the election. There is a huge difference between Trump and Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton lied to the nation on national TV about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. He also lied to the grand jury and was impeached. He was the boss and authority in the office; she was a young intern. Such are never considered consensual. It is always wrong because of the difference in power. Any CEO who engaged in such an affair would be escorted out the door, no questions asked. Bill Clinton is a serial, sexual predator. He preyed on women and assaulted them. He had to leave his Rhodes Scholar stint at Oxford early, as he was accused of rape. He lied about Gennifer Flowers -- again, live on TV -- stating he didn't even know her. Put yourself in her shoes. Imagine how you would feel if someone with whom you were involved for twelve years, publicly stated he didn't know you. He had to pay Paula Jones over $800,000. He literally assaulted her in a hotel room. There are loads of other documented credible and proved cases against him. Hillary Clinton enabled his serial sexual abuses. She actually set up a war room, with her smear agent, Sidney Blumenthal, to strategize how to demean, and in some cases, have investigated, his victims, calling them, "Bimbo Eruptions." and calling his affair with Monica Lewinsky a great right wing conspiracy. Donald Trump has not gone around assaulting women. Some attempted to accuse him of that, but their stories were debunked within days by witnesses and investigative journalists in the alternative news who actually still practice professional journalism. A lawyer had actually paid some of them to accuse him. Others were represented by Gloria Allred, a long-time major supporter of, and donor to, the Clintons. She should have been disbarred for gross conflicts of interest years ago. I imagine he had affairs - consensual affairs, and he has never gone on TV and lied about them, much as this political hack, Anderson Cooper, would like you to believe he has.

  5866. MG, have you ever lost the plot. Volodymyr Zelensky is the head of the most corrupt country in Europe. He has cancelled all political opposition, with dire consequences for anyone who tries to oppose him. Journalists who actually report the facts of the war on the frontlines are added to his kill list. He recently nationalized important businesses in Ukraine. He threatened to imprison anyone caught giving humanitarian aid in Eastern Ukraine. Zelensky, himself, is deeply corrupt, once a crude entertainer, famous as a high-heeled trans dancer. He has become a multi-millionaire, owning high-end real estate in the West. He was catapulted to the top by Ihor Kolomoisky, a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch, who bled Ukraine dry, including theft of all the deposits at his own PrivatBank. Zelensky has no power, simply a puppet of Joe Biden - a naughty puppet, often straying from the scripts of the US State Department. Zelensky is an odious zoom-room beggar demanding weapons and Western tax funds to keep his bankrupt country afloat and enrich deeply corrupt Ukrainian officials. As he sat for Vogue, his goons were out capturing young men at gunpoint to send to the front as proxy fodder to die for Joe Biden's odious, manufactured war against Russia to generate MIC profits and attempt to break up Russia, that under Putin has never done anything untoward to the US, UK, EU, or West. A broken Russia would be easy pickings for US plundering of scarce mineral resources. This war is not about Russia's SMO, which was formed to end the Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians after the US/UKR/West refused Putin's calls for diplomacy to end the genocide (over 14,000 Russian men, women and children killed by the start of 2021) and to end US/NATO aggression, the sordid story of US interference in Ukraine too long for this thread. Shame on Western journalists and news hosts who, unbelievably, are not informed about the facts of the Ukraine War and the corruption of Zelensky, or who know, but without integrity or ethics, rattle off twisted and false versions of it. Meghan, Harry and Zelensky receiving a Ripple of Hope award is as twisted and as sick as media outlets that fail to report accurate news.

  5872.  Slut Dragon  It's amazing, Slut Dragon, how our comments tell so much about us. Your comment tells us that you do not keep up with what is actually going on. That you most likely watch the mainstream liberal news that long ago tossed professional journalism out the window to become Democrat PR arms that don't tell it as it is -- in other words goebbelsian reporting. The MAGA hats are actually made in the U.S. -- ironically, in California. Do you have any idea why many CEO's do not support President Trump? Strange, don't you think, when his pro-business platform, reduced taxes, and elimination of unnecessary costly regulations created the best pre-SARS-CoV-2-virus economy ever -- for all groups. Business leaders are traditionally Republican supporters; however in the U.S. now, it is the Democrat Party that supports greedy CEO's and one-percent elites. The reason is that President Trump is adamantly against the exploitive outsourcing and insourcing of cheap labor that keeps wages down, eliminate American jobs and decimates manufacturing. The CEO's want to maintain the status quo to fill their bank accounts at the expense of American workers. President Trump's main focus was in real-estate development and the entertainment industry; however, he did have sideline products produced in China, and I expect Ivanka's fashion/home products were produced in either China or other low-income countries. He talked about extensively during his rallies. Did you not bother to watch them? He pointed out that under the status quo, businesses were forced to outsource/insource cheap labor in order to compete. That's why he did it. Nevertheless, he reiterated that it was not good for the country, pointing out again and again the massive destruction caused by NAFTA. He vowed to bring manufacturing back to America. From January 2017 to the SARS-CoV-2 shutdown over 480,000 manufacturing jobs were added to the economy. Continued on my next response.

  5873. ​ @melvinhunt6976  Now about the recent trade deal with China. Before I get into that, it is obviously untenable to strike a gavel and shout, "No more trade with China." In view of the enormous amount of US/China trade, you can imagine the devastating business and economic consequences of such a proclamation. It's more a matter of correctly managing trade with a communist regime and initiating policies in connection with, not only returning much manufacturing to the U.S., but also manufacturing essential supplies and products at home in the U.S. The latest US/China trade deal is a Phase One Deal (Two Years) Beijing has committed to buying $200 billion worth of additional U.S. goods and services over the next two years, including $40 billion to $50 billion of agricultural goods each year. In addition to farm products, Beijing has committed to buying additional manufactured goods of more than $75 billion, energy products of over $50 billion, and services close to $38 billion over the next two years, a senior administration official told reporters. These commitments were negotiated towards balancing US/China trade. Continuing trade deficits are extremely detrimental to a country. In return, Washington has agreed to modify its Section 301 tariff actions. It canceled a 15 percent levy on nearly $160 billion of Chinese goods scheduled for mid-December. It reduced tariffs to 7.5 percent from 15 percent on about $120 billion of Chinese imports. In addition, the 25 percent tariffs on nearly $250 billion of Chinese goods were kept in place, instead of increasing them to 30 percent, as was scheduled. Beijing also canceled imposing tariffs on U.S. goods that had been scheduled for Dec. 15 as retaliation. Trump said that he would use the remaining U.S. tariffs as a bargaining chip for the second phase of the deal. China has committed to protect intellectual property, stop forced technology transfers, and provide transparency on foreign exchange practices. Phase One is a great start. We'll see how it turns out, especially after the forced lockdown of the world ecoomy. China has also promised to open up its financial services markets to U.S. banks and credit companies.

  5874.  Slut Dragon  President Trump will win the election. He's very popular, despite the mainstream liberal media's continuous rant against him. To state that stopping travel from China to the U.S. made no difference at all is devoid of logic. This comment of yours confirms that actually, no, you don't look beyond the mainstream news. If you did, you would know that his health team, particularly, Fauci is highly controversial and, judging by his past comments, not a supporter of Trump. So, his virus briefings are hardly rallies. I suggest you take some time to understand the constitutional republic of the United States. President Trump doesn't set quarantine policy for the states. He has no jurisdiction on social distancing in the states or municipalities. Socialism is NEVER a good thing; not in any form, in my view. The UK and its political history are great examples of the utter failure of socialism. Socialism will most certainly not fix essential supply chains. Most importantly you have exposed yourself as a rather nasty bully. Name calling is bullying. Bullying is always a symptom of ignorance leading to the inability to debate with reason and intelligence. Some advice for you that will leave you in good stead in the workplace or the home. Stick to the issues, without resorting to personally attacking those with whom you disagree. By the way, I agree that China's ambitions of world influence need to be curbed. I also believe that socialism in the UK needs to be curbed, its welfare programs being one of the top reasons for the influx of unwanted migrants and immigration, a time bomb waiting to explode at the voting booths in the near future. Meanwhile, if U.S. politics interests you, take the time to learn the facts.

  5875.  Slut Dragon  If you think President Trump is a bad president, then you have been watching slanted, biased, liberal mainstream media. Intelligent people know that something is very wrong with media outlets that run criticism and negativity, as well as slander and defamation against someone 24/7. The loss of professional journalism is one of the most serious crises today, so dire the consequences (as in your thinking he is a bad president. He is, in my opinion, along with President Regan, most certainly the best president of our lifetime. So, if you think President Trump is a bad president, then, incredibly, you are not a fan of a great economy (before the virus he delivered the best economy ever for all groups. You believe in open borders and financial handouts to illegal immigrants, courtesy of tax payers. Trump is adamantly against open borders. You might be poor, as you stated, but surely you took some math in school. What do you think happens to a country that year after year is inundated with one-way massive legal and illegal immigration? High school math will lead you to the answer: societal and economic disaster. For immigration to be fair and successful, it must be an equal, two-way exchange to and from countries with economic parity. That is not what is happening. Immigration is a one-way massive movement to the West. It is not the responsibility of the West to take in all the dispossessed of the world at its own expense. You do not believe in a strong military, not to wage war but to protect a country, and. you do not believe in the best care and respect for veterans. A major item on Trump's platform was to rebuild and properly supply the military, which he has done and continues to do big time. He has also brought in sweeping changes to ensure veterans and their families receive adequate and timely services and are accorded the deepest respect they deserve. He does not believe in waging war. He wants to bring soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan home, but he believes in a highly effective defensive military with the capability to strike hard. You do not believe in reasonable drug prices for ordinary people who need treatment. Trump initiated the largest program ever towards reducing the price of drugs. You believe in sanctuary cities. Those are cities in the U.S. that give sanctuary to illegals and illegal criminals. Such cities include San Francisco and Los Angeles. Trump is fighting against these criminal safe havens. You are on YouTube, I suggest you check out what is happening in San Francisco [Pelosi's District], Los Angeles, etc. (the streets are laden with homeless drug addicts, criminal aliens, and littered with used needles and feces -- this is not hearsay. It is documented with video. You don't believe that negotiations with other world leaders is a good idea. Trump is known for reaching out to leaders to work out win/win deals. Doesn't always work, but he's out front doing that. You believe that corruption and unethical get-rich behavior from elected representatives is a good idea. Trump received flack for co-operating with Ukraine to root out the corruption that took place in that country with Obama officials, including the Maidan Coup. (I suggest you learn about the corruption that went on in the Ukraine -- it's a complex and deeply disturbing story. Biden should not even be allowed to run for president with such a fog of corruption surrounding him. You believe in not vetting people who enter a country from countries that harbor extremist Islamist terrorists. You believe in letting them in without question. Trump believes in not allowing them in and, for immigration as a whole. to introduce meritocracy as a criterion for entry to the U.S. You believe in globalism. Trump is anti globalism. (Globalism includes the outsourcing of national governments to unelected foreign governments and unelected commissions.). You believe in identity politics, the current mantra of Democrats right now. On the top of their lists for discrimination in the workforce: white men. All in all you obviously have absolutely no idea about President Trump's platform and accomplishments. He's extremely popular because his policies are focused on the people of America. Not the elites. Not the people of other countries. Not corrupt politicians -- that's why they are up in arms against him. He came in with an agenda to drain the swamp -- end their corruption. Lastly, if you want to understand what has gone on in the U.S., and why the Democrats should be off bounds, putting aside their notions of socialism, big government, globalism, identity politics, for a moment, the attempted coup against the president, whatever your political leaning, should send chills down your spine. Many books and articles have documented this seditious plot, but I recommend you read "Witch Hunt," by Gregg Jarret, a lawyer by training. It is impeccably sourced and documented and outlines the timeline of the plot, the individuals involved and the media's complicity in the plot. That is the end of my conversation with you.

  5919. Firstly, let's get confirmation on the collateral damage in Gaza. Hamas has failed to deliver basic services, essential services, and acceptable living conditions for Gaza, so I highly doubt its ability to deliver an accurate fatality count, let alone that for as long as I can remember, it has always been the modus operandi for ME terrorists to exaggerate deaths - even stage destruction and losses - to elicit Western support. Right now, the civilized world should be helping Israel to get rid of Hamas, and yes, that will mean collateral damage. Instead, Hamas is once again bamboozling the West to feel sympathy for it through the people of Gaza who are their tools. The people of Gaza have never objected to Hamas. They have supported them. That has consequences. A recording of a terrorist's phone call to his parents in Gaza has been publicized - likely a captured phone. It illustrates the support of Gazans for Hamas. He called his parents, screeching that he had killed twelve Jews, telling them that he had their blood on his hand, asking his parents' if they were proud of him. Einstein once remarked on all the evil in the world but warned more evil are those who support the evil or do nothing to stop it. It would be difficult, even today, to get decent people to suggest the German people should have been given humanitarian aid, emergency services, and humanitarian escape routes, as Hitler and his goons decimated European Jews in death camps, gas chambers and slave factories. Of course not. Humanitarian aid for the German people came after Hitler and his regime had been wiped out. Humanitarian aid for Gazans should come after Hamas has been wiped out, and it is becoming evident that the conventional wisdom of a two-state solution is impossible. Gaza has been independent since 2005, equally as dangerous and arguably more dangerous than the West Bank with Israeli military occupation So complex, but rewarding terrorism is a fool's game. Huge benefit to surrounding countries to take the Palestinians? Even they want nothing to do with their terrorism

  5947. It was no other than Hillary Clinton, with Obama cheering on the sidelines, who unleashed the horrors, death, destruction and incursion of ISIS in Syria. She assisted the terrorists. When a journalist at one of her book signings asked her why. She said they were "moderate rebels." Her moderate rebels were nothing but homegrown and insurgent extremist ISIS terrorists. Assad had kept the lid on unrest by locking many of them up in his prisons. Then the terrorists set up a ruse: demonstrations against conditions in Assad's prisons to gain Western support. Altruistic and war-mongering Clinton fell for it and sided with the terrorists, unleashing hell fire, war, death, destruction, and an opening for ISIS, as she screeched the need for regime change - regime change, a Clinton modus operandi. Not that Assad's prisons were any business of Clinton/Obama, but assuming for a second they had a say, then changes should have been made diplomatically. Prior to Clinton's civil war in Syria, that country had been one of the few secular countries, with freedom of religion, in the Middle East. Clinton then moved on to her regime change in Libya. The rebel factions saw her coming. Picked out her naivete, gullibility, and unbelievable unawareness of the situation on the grown. The factions had their way with her. Libya fell into chaos, death, destruction, civil war, people smuggling, ISIS infiltration and the worst crisis in Europe since WW2. "We came, we saw, he died," she cackled and screeched when Gaddafi met a violent & vicious death. Then she fell asleep at the switch -- no answer to that 3:00 am call -- and attempted to avoid culpability for the deaths of four Americans, including the ambassador, by mounting a false talking point about a squirmish spilling out of a nasty American video, when in fact Benghazi was a well planned and orchestrated terrorist attack.

  6065.  @arunnarzary7536  For your comment to be accurate, it requires the full context. America is not a war-mongering country. The Obama Administration, courtesy of Hillary Clinton, was a war-mongering administration. Its regime change policies caused chaos, civil war, death and destruction in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, to a lesser degree, Egypt, and countries south of the Sahara, as weapons, courtesy of Hillary Clinton, flowed as far south as those regions. The destruction resulted in the worst crisis in Europe since WW2, the migrant crisis (the majority of them are not refugees but migrants from all over the world, particularly Africa and the Middle East). I am not so sure about the war in Iraq. I believe it is questionable whether there were weapons of mass destruction; however, Saddam Hussein gassed his own people, just as Hitler had done. There is not a decent person in the world today who objects to the war against Hitler, so why object to war against Hussein -- just throwing that out there for thought. As for Afghanistan, that was a defensive war against a vicious attack on America, planned and orchestrated from Afghanistan. Should America still be in Afghanistan? Not a black and white answer. I say, let the waring factions obliterate each other and keep America's military men safe at home. Problem is that without continued presence in Afghanistan, more terrorist attacks will be planned and carried out. America is (and Europe should be) at war against extremist Islamist terrorism. Europe is no Banana Republic, not with any US involvement; however, EU countries are relying more and more on foreign cash. German cash! For that they are Banana Republics, beholden to Germany.

  6066.  @arunnarzary7536  Balkans/Bill Clinton, not having a clue about the dynamics on the ground. Vietnam, Central America and Korea, all in my view, necessary in the context of the time. The EU is going to disintegrate, but more slowly now that countries are financially beholden to Germany. They'll just default. The world needs stronger countries within Europe. Not a Republic of Europe run by fools. I agree that it is important that Russia be economically strong -- also not maligned as the West seems intent on doing. A few changes the world needs: (1) Reduction in massive, irresponsible population growth. (2) Independent, national countries, with international co-operation (provided no theft of technology, currency manipulation, etc.). (3) New immigration protocols: (a) Zero tolerance for illegal immigration. Immediate deportation. No hearings. (b) Dramatically reduced legal immigration of equal exchanges based on meritocracy and commitment to adapt to standards and traditions of new country. Given qualifications of financial self-sufficiency, suitable education and language skills, if two people from Country A want to move to Country B, they can do so, as long as two people from Country B want to move to Country A. An equal exchange. If no two people want to move to Country A, then it's a no-go. Such a policy would eliminate immediate national population growth, ensure immigrants are not a burden on tax payers and immediately contribute to society, and make those from unpopular countries so damn mad, they would insist on changes, eliminating the desire to emigrate in the first place. (4) Massive upgrade in education standards in the West, particularly in the U.S., Canada and Britain. Diminished education creates dysfunctional democracy. (5) End exploitive outsourcing and insourcing of cheap labor that puts huge downward pressure on wages, destroys jobs and decimates manufacturing. (6) This one will be very difficult. Direct education towards science and away from religion. World peace will not be achieved until Islam goes through a world-wide reformation to adapt to modern standards. (7) Zero tolerance for the loss of professional journalism. International code of ethics for journalists, with criminal consequences for infractions. (9) New standards of behavior for politicians, with criminal consequences for politicians who deliberately lie about their opponents, their opponents platforms and accomplishments.

  6099. Missed the plot. Putin has never threatened nuclear war. He has said in response to Western threats and numerous hints of nuclear war that he would respond in kind to US/Western aggression. It is, of course, Western, inept, woke "leaders" and corrupt, woke media that has been very successful at fooling the likes of you that Putin started this war. The Ukraine War started eight years ago, after the US Invasion of Ukraine and initiation of a bloody coup, the Maidan Coup, to oust a duly elected president because he favored friendly relations with Russia. The coup spilled into official apartheid against Russian-Ukrainians, civil war, and Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians. Putin relentlessly called for diplomacy to end the genocide and US/NATO agression. The US/ West refused diplomacy. Britain's foreign secretary at the time was a leading aggressor. BEFORE Russia's SMO, she threatened that Britain would target anyone in the Kremlin who had anything to do with the continuation of Russia, a reckless, ignorant, declaration of war. Meanwhile, Biden started threatening Putin and Russia, as he backed a huge increase of Ukrainian military at the Donbass close to Russia's border. Within two days of Liz Truss's abominable behavior towards Sergey Lavrov in Moscow, Putin recognized Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states. They asked Russia for help to end the Ukrainian genocide against them. Given the US/West refusal of diplomacy, the US/NATO menace at its border, and Britain's declaration of war, Russia formed the SMO to primarily end the genocide. That is a very brief summary of events. Astonishingly, most in the US, UK, EU, West are so woke indoctrinated, afraid to learn the facts and counter with the truth that they have fallen into supporting Ukrainian genocide, nazi infiltration in Ukraine, and the most corrupt, despotic government in Europe, Zelensky's Ukrainian government.

  6113. @David Edwards - Is "left" still a thing? I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. Result of dumbed-down education and lack of writing clarity? The Democrats are the most left leaning they have ever been, calling for socialism (cloaked in various adjectives to make the goal less threatening); globalism (loss of national laws, rules and identity, a euphemism for one-way migration and the replacement of a society); open borders (many skipped math in school and have no idea what continuous high net legal immigration and continuous high net one-way illegal migration will do to a country's society, economy and identity); identity politics that does away with the best rising to the top, replaced by equal outcome rather than equal opportunity -- couldn't be a policy that more divides society); sanctuary cities to protect illegal immigrants, criminals, people smugglers, drug addicts, drug pushers, gangs, and unemployed illegals, all of whom now fill city streets with their tents, drugs, human waste and filth; calls for taxpayers to pay for all healthcare, schools, housing and food for the illegals -- great way to really make hard-working people really angry, drain a state of brain power, and empty the coffers; absurd demands to fix "climate change" that would very quickly create the most serious world economic crisis ever, as they parade in their petroleum-derivative clothing, not understanding science, math, economics, finance or business -- by the way there is no such thing as human-induced climate change -- pollution, yes, but not climate change; gender stretching two genders into -- what is the number -- 45 genders? Utter madness. Now about Labour in the UK promising to ban public schools -- great tactics to ensure a massive loss in an election: ban the best schools, replace them with third-rate schools, the future leaders of Britain. Guess what would happen if they were ever successful with such a ridiculous notion. The elite and those willing to work damn hard to send their kids to the best elite schools would send them overseas. Education can be big business. Tons of excellent private schools will fill the niche in other countries. Frankly, if I were working class in Britain, I would make damn sure my children were taught how to speak English properly.

  6124.  @honeyowen3163  (1) Astonishing that in your next comment you would admonish people for not having all the facts when you do not have the facts. So, I am going to give you the facts. It will be long -- may be divided into a few responses because of the length. I hope you will read it, although, judging by your uninformed comments, you are not one who bothers to read to find out facts. Whether you read my responses or not, others will and be informed. Firstly, General Flynn was not charged with working with an enemy foreign country. He was charged with lying to the FBI. Secondly, Russia is not an enemy country. The USSR, which was an enemy, collapsed in 1991. Now about the Flynn case: On January 5, 2017, during a meeting in the White House, attended by Obama, Biden, Comey, Brennan, Rice, Yates and likely Strzok, they plotted how to frame an innocent man, General Flynn, knowing he was innocent. How do we know? From their own notes, subsequently released after FOIA/legal requests had been ignored. During that meeting Biden suggested they use the antiquated Logan Act to get Flynn. The Logan Act does not apply to modern circumstances and has never been the basis to convict anyone. It was enacted in the early, chaotic days of the formation of the United States to prevent people without authority from negotiating with foreign governments. General Flynn was not working with an enemy foreign country. He had a phone call (illegally used by the corrupt FBI and media) with the Russian ambassador. As the incoming National Security Advisor, he also had authority. As the corrupt media pounced on an allegedly inappropriate phone call, that too was released for all to see that nothing untoward was discussed during the call. Furthermore, General Flynn actually cautioned the ambassador on following up negatively with respect to US sanctions. As an aside, no wonder the Logan Act was on the tip of Biden's tongue. His son was, and had been busy for many years, negotiating with foreign ENEMY and neutral governments, WITHOUT ANY AUTHORITY. What was he negotiating? He was selling access to, and benefits from, Joe Biden as VP and potential future president. In other words, the Bidens were illegally engaged in foreign influence peddling. Joe Biden and his family shared in the riches, at the expense of America and Americans. How do we know about these nefarious activities and division of the spoils? Money tracing, Joe Biden, himself, boasting on video, court documents from Europe, information on the website of the bank of the CCP (China) before the removed it, sworn testimony from the Ukrainian prosecutor, testimony from people involved, and not least documents on H. Biden's laptop which he forgot to pick up from a repair shop. Outrageously, the MSM refused to report the Biden foreign influence peddling and evidence on the laptop before the election; and Big Tech censored all information about it, even closing the account of the New York Post that broke the laptop story. Such censorship is what goes on in totalitarian, fascist countries. Continued....

  6125.  @honeyowen3163  (3) Comey concocted an excuse of Flynn's relationship with Russia as an excuse to get him. Relationship with Russia?!! An RT dinner attended by many other Western guests? Sitting next to Putin (whom Flynn had often referred to as a dictator/thug)? Giving an interview to a news network? (As an aside, I recommend you watch RT. It is one of the best outlets to obtain untainted news -- just the facts -- on-the-ground footage of situations without any biased voice overlay spreading nefarious agendas. So Comey ordered two FBI agents to target/question the National Security Advisor, General Flynn, without going through proper channels. Comey boasted about getting away with doing that on national TV. The FBI agents questioned Flynn, decided he had not lied and were in the process of closing the case, when that Jan. 5 meeting took place in the White House. After the meeting Strzok ordered the FBI agents not to close the case. They concocted a lie with which to charge Flynn. Turned out Flynn's own attorneys had a gross conflict of interest -- a relationship with the other side -- that they did not declare. They advised Flynn to plead guilty, because he was out of money and the prosecutors were threatening to indict and imprison his son. A coerced plea. Then Sidney Powell became his attorney. Turns out his former attorneys were in possession of exculpatory evidence proving both his innocence and that he was framed. Shame on you for not bothering to find out the facts about this case. The Obama/FBI/CIA attempted coup against President Trump, with collateral damage of Flynn and others is the most shameful political scandal in US history. I suggest you clear up your libellous, comments. They are depraved and wicked. Albert Einstein once commented about evil in the world but pointed out that more evil are those who do nothing about it. In your case, not just doing nothing about it, but actually spreading it WITHOUT FULL KNOWLEDGE. I recommend you read "Witch Hunt," by Gregg Jarrett, a lawyer. One of the most impeccably sourced and documented books I have ever read. He's also an excellent writer, making the entanglements of the sordid plots against President Trump and others easy to follow. If you have a decent bone in your body, you should be disgusted by what happened.

  6143. Meghan, Harry and of all people, one of the most corrupt "leaders" (actually a puppet) today, Volodymyr Zelensky are scheduled to receive the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Reward. Choosing these three for this award is a travesty! Volodymyr Zelensky has been directly complicit in the formalized, official Ukrainian government's apartheid policies against Russian-Ukrainians, a first step to the ultimate attacks, genocide and war against them. Meghan and Harry, if they had a thread of ethics, honor and decency, would refuse to receive this award (for their own behavior of trampling on the human rights of their respective families, but also as royals, lumped with Zelensky, the most unsuitable person today to receive such an award. Their royal titles must be stripped from them. Not only has Zelensky been complicit in actions against Russian-Ukrainians but against Ukrainians generally. As he sat for Vogue, his goons were hijacking cars to pull out young men at gunpoint to be sent to the front to die as proxy fodder for Biden's evil, manufactured war against Russia - all caught on video. Zelensky has: Outlawed any political opposition to him, with dire consequences for anyone who attempts to oppose him. Nationalized Ukrainian businesses. Threatened jail time for anyone caught offering humanitarian aid in Eastern Ukraine. Begged in zoom-rooms for Western tax funds to prop up his Rada and totally bankrupt country, as theft of those funds (and weapons) escalate. He sold his soul for riches, as one of the most corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs catapulted him to the presidency. He owns high-end properties in the West, as Ukrainians die and suffer, all because he refused Putin's calls for diplomacy to end the US/NATO aggression and the Ukrainian genocide against Donbass Russians.

  6161. @Compos Mentis An excellent idea for President Trump to be the centre of attention on July 4th. He is President of the United States -- an extremely popular president, with incredible courage, common sense, negotiating skills, a businessman and outlier, crucial for battling the vile corruption, that has now been unearthed (with tons of EVIDENCE) that existed in the Obama Administration. He has delivered an incredible economic and business situation, in great part due to his pro-business platform, reduction in taxes, and elimination of unnecessary, extremely costly bureaucratic regulations. Employment statistics are the best ever for all ethnic groups. He has had the fortitude to take China on to stop the massive U.S. trade deficit with that country. Any idea about the damage continuous high trade deficits do to a country? I suggest you learn. In addition China has been stealing U.S. technology for decades. President Trump has the guts to say no more. Now, I could go on about the accomplishments of this president, but I think you should take your eyes off the fake mainstream liberal news and learn the facts yourself. You will never know what is going on in the world if you watch outlets such as CNN or MSNBC or ABC, etc. Turn "loose" the equivalent of "Brown Shirts." President Trump? What utter and complete nonsense, unless equivalent liberal-left Democrats (funded by Soros et al) raise their ugly heads. Now, who were the Brown Shirts? Who would most closely resemble them in the U.S. today? They were a paramilitary organization whose methods of violent intimidation played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power. They engaged in street fights with their political enemies, practiced pseudo-military exercises, and terrorized Germany. Violent intimidation? Antifa and similar extreme, far-left groups have shown up many times over, since Donald Trump declared his candidacy for president, with threats of violence or actual violence, particularly to stop fee speech -- not far-right, extreme speech, but seminars and events featuring highly educated, conservative speakers. I cannot think of President Trump or his followers ever being involved in proactive violence against the left-liberals and Democrats, but the Democrats' intimidating Republicans: Teachers reprimanding students who wore MAGA hats; violence against young boys wearing MAGA hats, then reported as the boys having started the violence; Republicans being turned out of restaurants; university talks cancelled because of threats of, or actual violence. I was scheduled to attend one myself, the two speakers being highly accomplished, highly educated and with millions of followers; left-liberal CEO's of Facebook, Twitter, and You Tube, banning highly intelligent conservatives who have never made any calls to, or engaged in violence, while Maxine Waters is still featured in the FakeNews, urging violence against Republicans. The Brown Shirts, of course were part of the Nazis apparatus, that is the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Who is calling for socialism in the U.S.? Many Democrats, even those in high office. President Trump, on the other hand said clearly that there will never be socialism in the U.S. The other word thrown Trump's way, "fascism." Fascism implies government control and interference, anathema to President Trump, but inherent in liberal welfare systems and corporate regulations of the Democrats. My god, high-level Democrats even attempted a coup against Donald -- then President -- Trump. President Trump's goal is to instal real fear in the U.S.?!! You have to be kidding. He's the most transparent president EVER! There has not been another president whose policies have been so connected with ordinary people. Didn't know that? Watch the mainstream liberal news, that lost any semblance of professional journalism a long time ago? Name one thing he has done to give you a modicum of a notion that he has a goal to instil fear. Be very careful. No hearsay, innuendos, etc. Just facts with credible sources and substantiation. You won't be able to do it. Frankly, your statement is puerile, ignorant and dangerous. The troubling aspect of it is that you must have had the misfortune to have been educated in one of the many dumbed-down institutions of learning run by left-liberal democrats. The off the wall notions coming out of those graduates today (socialism, globalism, open borders, sanctuary cities with their filth and crime ridden streets, feminism gone amok, SJWs, identity politics, safe places in case someone doesn't like what another has to say, affirmative action and quotas, punishing people today for what their ancestors did, shutting down of free speech labelling opposing opinions as hate speech and racism, the loss of professional journalism, and denial, mitigation or acceptance of an attempted coup) is enough to put fear into any intelligent person -- and that, Compos Mentis, is all on the Demorats' side. You had better understand damn well what you are supporting, because it is not pretty. Lastly, ever wonder why certain CEO's won't support President Trump and want open borders (that any intelligent person knows is suicide for any country)? Because he is dead against exploitive outsourcing and insourcing of cheap labor, while the CEO's want to fill their pockets with profits and stock deals on the backs of those exploited workers -- Just one example of what you are supporting.

  6190. Mitt Romney: Cruel to animals. He strapped poor Seamus to the roof of his car for a 22-hour frigid drive to Canada, stopping once to hose down the chilled and terrified dog after he had relieved himself in fear. He grew wings of a vulture, a corporate vulture, and swooped into vulnerable target companies on wings of massive debt to strip, slice, dice, fire, outsource and fly out, up front, cash and stock carrion dripping from his beak, leaving the carcass company to struggle for years to pay the debt from where the cash portion of his prize came. He muddied and mired the once admirable private-equity game that had sincere investors turning around struggling companies, leaving after an approximate three-year management and turn-around commitment, with a reasonable rate of return. Romney touted his business experience, but voters knew better. He's never in his life run a company with actual products to sell. Then he morphed from a vulture into a chameleon with a scaly skin of many colors, changing his story on the hustings to meet different expectations of each new audience. His campaign loaded with daily contradictions left him on election night, with his family, all dressed up in red, fireworks at the ready, for his victory party. Too bad for Mitt, Obama and his family crashed the party. So, Mitt, your ineptness landed America with the most corrupt administration in history, the farcical, baseless impeachment, just one of the legacies resulting from Republicans having chosen a most unsuitable candidate for the presidential race. They forget to check with Seamus first.

  6221. I wonder if these frustrated Seattle residents and business people voted for the Democrats and continue to support them. Why do I ask? Because their policies directly lead to the dereliction of these once beautiful cities: open borders, with drugs, criminals, and migrants devoid of financial means pouring in; sanctuary cities where illegal migrants and criminals walk free, are fed and given medical services on the backs of taxpayers; support of the vile policies of outsourcing and insourcing of cheap labor that eliminate jobs and put massive downward pressure on wages. (That's right. out- and in-sourcing -- ever wondered why greedy CEOs refuse to support President Trump? Because they want to continue benefiting on the backs of cheap labor. President Trump is against these destructive policies. Lastly an attitude of poor sods, you're not worth anything, so we'll let you loiter and squat on the streets, use them as your bathrooms, pickup your needles and deliver your dinners, instead of an attitude of god damn it, no, you are worth much more, and we are going to make damn sure we put you on a path to reach your potential: 1) No loitering legislation. 2) Legislation to make feeding street people illegal, leaving it to vetted organizations that require work for food. 3) End sanctuary cities and close the borders. 4) Authority back to and support of law enforcement. 5) Required rehab for beds, including supervision, until they are rehabilitated, with work included in the programs. 6) Dramatic revamping and improvement of education, including mandatory life-planning courses in junior and high school, as well as mandatory sciences, math, economics, finance, business, political science and communications courses. Housing is an issue, but a sidebar; it is not the main issue. Nevertheless, out of control real-estate development pushed by private-equity, banks, pension and savings funds must be greatly curbed. Currently it is not, because each floor of a condominium or office tower delivers hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes to be wasted in the pockets of civil-servant bureaucrats and politicians.

  6284. That meeting in the Trump Tower was apparently about the Magnitsky Act and sanctions. It was with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian attorney, who represented Denis Katsyv, a Russian real-estate businessman, who had been sued by Preet Bharara, a US Manhattan attorney on charges of money laundering relating to US fund manager, Bill Browder, who operated his funds out of Moscow. Preet Bharara is a known Democrat, Hillary Clinton supporter and Trump hater, although MSM bios of him state he is non-partisan. Natalia Veselnitskaya was in the US, representing her client, Katsyv in court. Firstly, I am sure many individuals with agendas meet presidential candidates all the time. Perhaps someone could tell me if I am wrong about this, or if it is illegal. Obviously, the Trump group had no power to repeal the Magnitsky Act at the time (and it was not repealed after Trump became president). Veselnitskaya had no dirt on Clinton. All round no harm done. Natalia Veselnitskaya has said she never had any dirt on Clinton. She met with the Trump group strictly in relation to the Magnitsky Act. Democrats accused her of acting on behalf of Putin. That is false. She simply advocated for the revocation of the Magnitsky Act, which imposed sanctions against individuals named by Bill Browder in an alleged Russian tax scam against him, resulting in the "theft" of $230 million from Browder. Magnitsky was his "lawyer," who died in a Russian prison. In response to the Magnitsky Act, Russia stopped the US from adopting Russian children. If I remember correctly, at the time there was a scandal about an American couple returning an adopted Russian child. Here's the meat of the concerns about the Magnitsky Act. A very convincing case has been brought forward alleging that Browder is actually the one who stole the funds in a complex scheme. One just has to watch the video of Browder being deposed to come away with serious questions about Browder's accusations. Magnitsky was not a lawyer, as Browder claimed, but an accountant.

  6313. John Ratcliffe as CIA director. Perfect choice. Hope he takes Kash Patel, one of the best, with him. Ratcliffe was head of DNI in Trump's first term, Ambassador to Germany previously. Pete Hegseth as SofD, perfect - analyst on Fox News just one of his jobs. He has advocated for the troops and military for years - starting long before FOX. He cares deeply about the troops. Mike Huckabee as ambassador for Israel. Good choice, ethical, Christian and always advocating for factual news. Loyal to Trump. His daughter is doing a great job as Governor of Arkansas. Kristi Noem, Governor of South Dakota, for SofDHS is sharp, loyal, steadfast, determined, no nonsense, and loyal to Trump - good for deporting illegal migrants. Mike Walz as National Security Adviser - don't know enough about him. Vivek and Musk as co-leaders for DOCE. Perfect. Both loyal. Musk w/ an excellent track record for razoring down and cutting for efficiency. Vivek, astute, articulate and clear. Rubio as SoS? Iffy. Was once a Ukraine war monger. Changed his mind. Wants the war to end but to end spending for a stalemate, not to end the lethal war against Russia, using Ukraine and its men as proxies, destroying the country in the process. I have a hunch that neither he nor Trump are fully knowledgeable about the Ukraine War and may insist on returning territory to Ukraine, rightly a non-starter. Those who call for territory to be returned support Ukrainian genocide, ethnic cleansing, discrimination, nazism and US/NATO aggression toward Russian-Ukrainians.

  6357.  @maxgoodwin4438  - Fake news includes the following: relentless negative reporting against President Trump, even twisting his accomplishments to negatives; not covering full reports on an attempted coup in America, a democracy, one of the largest stories of our lifetime; cutting off people if their opinions don't fit CNN's agenda; avoiding news that doesn't meet their agenda; continuously name calling President Trump without reporting the facts about him, his platform, or his accomplishments; not reporting fully on the criminality of Hillary Clinton's server, lying to Congress about her server, her emails and Benghazi, and tampering with and destroying subpoenaed evidence. If you want to watch fake news, watch Lou Dobbs or Hannity. He features, with actual video, the appalling and vile reporting that comes out of CNN (and other fake outlets) every day. It is relentless, puerile, dangerous, chilling and FAKE. I believe it is the most dangerous situation we face today. I cannot tell you the number of people to whom I have spoken who spew irrational hatred against Trump. They know nothing about the attempted coup. They know nothing about Uranium One and the $145 million into the Clinton Foundation. They have no idea that Trump's platform and goals actually correlate very closely with their wishes, wants and needs. They all glean their news from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, the New York Times or the Washington Post. That is an incredibly serious situation, because these people vote. Ivanka Trump used her personal email account during the transition period. Relative to Clinton very few emails and emails of entirely different content were sent. She did not set up a private server (to avoid detection of an unapproved advisor and illegal payments to a personal pay-for-play slush fund or transmit classified information) as Clinton did. She has not lied to Congress about her emails or any other government business. Her emails were at an entirely level and vanilla (about her personal initiatives (for the good of all). She has not tampered or destroyed subpoenaed evidence. Hillary Clinton used a private server as Secretary of State transmitting classified and highly confidential material at an entirely different level. She destroyed thousands of emails. She lied to Congress and the public about them. She destroyed them after they were subpoenaed. She paid $12.5 million for a phoney Russian dossier, used illegally to obtain FISA warrants to spy on Trump and his campaign to bring him down, and if he won anyway, they concocted an insurance policy: Mueller to search for Russian Collusion a total fabrication, so hypocritical when the only people colluding with the Russians were Hillary Clinton and her cabal of coup-mongers. You will never know what is actually going on in America and the world if you watch CNN. If you do, shame on you. Shame on CNN. How sad that you don't have the reason and intelligence to figure out that it is nothing other than a propaganda arm for the Democrats -- even as they become more and more left (socialist) and dangerous, calling for violence against Republicans and mounting that vile and shameful protest and accusations against Justice Kavanaugh. Support them at your own peril. Albert Einstein once said that there is a lot of evil in the world but more evil are those who sit back and say nothing. Hillary Clinton's career of corruption and the recent activities of Democrats is nothing short of evil.

  6358.  @maxgoodwin4438  - Firstly, who the hell do you think you are, dictating to me to answer three points and to stay on point?! I am not here to educate you. I certainly hope you will use your common sense and brain to determine what is fake news. The loss of professional journalism in the mainstream liberal media is the most serious crisis we face today. I am very sorry if you don't have the intellectual capacity to figure that out. I will expand on President Trump. I was no particular fan of Donald Trump; however, as a business person in the investment industry, I did follow his ups and downs in business. I once supported Obama. A very important lesson learned. Know you chosen candidate very well. The Obama Administration turned out to be the most corrupt in our lifetime, and the funders and mentors who catapulted him into office should have been a huge warning sign. Unfortunately, those connections were never covered in the mainstream press. I didn't know about them. Very important to do independent research. Back to Trump. Is he intelligent. Extremely. He graduated from a top military school and one of the top business universities in the world. He grew his father's small multi-million dollar development business into a mega multi-billion dollar, international, conglomerate. He beat sixteen candidates to become the president of the United States, running his primary campaign on his own funds. He has done more in his short time as president than any other president in our lifetime, despite relentless irrational hatred directed his way. So why am I an adamant supporter. I have learned to go directly to the horses mouth -- not to listen to the hearsay of fake news. I started listening to him directly. His ideas make enormous business and plain common sense. That's why he is so popular. He has delivered the best economy in the US ever for all groups, directly attributable to his pro-business platform, tax cuts, reduction in bureaucratic red-tape regulations, and his insistence on fair trade. I agree with his policies: tax reductions, pro-business, elimination of unnecessary regulation, ending massive trade deficits that play havoc with the U.S. economy; his tough stand on terrorism and understanding of the Middle East (Ever researched how Hillary Clinton completely screwed up in the Middle East, resulting in the most serious crisis in Europe since WW2? Do your research. Chilling); his closing the border to people from seven dangerous ME countries -- actually a holdover from Obama; his support of the military and law and order; his stand against Chinese theft of U.S. technology; no to illegal immigration; legal immigration based only on meritocracy (Out of control immigration and the Democrats' stand on immigration is second to the loss of professional journalism as the most serious crisis the US faces right now); his refusing to go along with the TPP and latest UN Compact on Immigration, both absurd documents that hand U.S. sovereign powers to foreign bodies; his tearing up the Iran deal (Did you read it -- just the summary, may be? I bet not. The potential consequences were chilling and so dangerous). on and on. Is Trump honest. He is the most transparent president of our lifetime -- and I can pretty well guaranty I am a whole lot older than you are so have experienced quite a few more presidents than you. How do I guess that? The rude, entitled way you speak to me in your comments. Unlike Hillary Clinton who is a body of lies, Trump does not lie. He is flamboyant and straight to the point, but he does not lie. That has been proven over and over again as he comes out winning and ahead of the relentless attacks against him. By the way, did you know that a Democrat fired Hillary Clinton from one of her first stints as a lawyer, for in his words being, "an unethical, dishonest lawyer and a liar." As she was practising law at the time, that should have been the end of any public career for her. What had she done? On the Watergate Investigation, during discovery, when it came time to exchange information with opposing lawyers, she stole pertinent information and hid it in her house, so the other side would not see it. Is Trump ethical. He is highly ethical, and I challenge you to do your research and find out how he treats his employees, those with whom he works, and his friends. He is so successful with foreign leaders and has made historic inroads on the Korean peninsula because he is a great negotiator and he can be trusted. He is a man of his word, whether he is challenging an opponent or helping out an associate or friend. There are tons of testimonials to that effect that you can research -- in books, articles and videos. After what has happened in Obama's FBI, DOJ, IRS, CIA, the DNC, the Clinton Foundation, the attempted coup, etc., it is absurd that you are questioning Donald Trump's intelligence, honesty and ethics. The irrational hatred against President Trump is wrong, wrong, wrong, whether he is your choice or not. It is in fact evil, and needs to be stopped. It is the fake news that is largely responsible for it. Those who support this evil or sit back without challenging it are more evil, because the future of Western Civilization is at stake. In challenging me, you chose someone who is extremely well read in politics. You won't win against me unless you are as well informed. Your attempt to demean Trump suggests to me that you are not well informed. I know my stuff. Do tons of research to find out the facts. I challenge you to do the same for your future and the future of your family and/or children.
