B-Man

Everyone should watch this. After 3 years of this fight, scores dead, trillions in damage done, without any real goal or strategy stated or otherwise by Ukraine and the west other than "more bodies into the meat grinder!" - can there be any doubt now this was a terrible mistake, and a completely avoidable conflict we wanted to fight? Not to make the world safer, but to make it LESS safe, less stable, so there'd be more profits flowing to the usual suspects. It was never about saving Ukraine, or Ukrainian lives. It was always about sacrificing Ukrainian lives on the altar of permawar, grift, and "fighting Russia".

‘I Don’t Want to Be the Freak Show Party’ Say Centrist Democrats. By Rick Moran Most Democrats who aren't radical left fruitcakes know that their party has drifted out of the mainstream and into Cloud Cuckoo Land. Rhode Island Democratic National Committeeman Joseph Paolino Jr. summed up the situation as the party seeks a new national chairman. “The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle,” he said. “I’m going to look for a chair who’s going to be talking to the center and who’s going to be for the guy who drives a truck back home at the end of the day.” https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/11/17/i-dont-want-to-be-the-freak-show-party-say-centrist-democrats-n4934373 Democrats can change but the inmates are running the asylum and won’t go quietly.

“It’s amazing that you’re more upset about [Gaetz] allegations than you are about the weaponization of the Department of Justice.”

The farm raid that mobilized Amish behind Bad Orange Man By Dr Campbell Campbell-Jack FTA: In all the hullabaloo over election analysis and attempting to find reasons for defeat other than the fact that Harris and Walz were terrible candidates, there is one group who have slipped below the radar, the Amish. The Amish are a conservative Anabaptist Christian community who have resolutely turned their back on modern technology. They are renowned for their self-sufficiency, the simplicity of their lifestyle, and plain dress. They much prefer face-to-face communication to telephones and don’t use television, preferring to spend time together as a family. Fleeing persecution in 18th century Europe, they arrived in the New World where William Penn offered them refuge in Pennsylvania. Due to their work ethic and emphasis on family ties the community boomed over the years. It is estimated that of the 400,000 Amish in America 92,000 live in Pennsylvania. The largest of the swing states with 19 votes in the electoral college, after going Democrat in 2020, it swung Trump’s way 2024. It was not the Amish vote which pushed Trump over the line, but it exemplifies why many did vote for Trump. The Amish like to keep themselves to themselves and their political involvement is usually minimal. Their stance changed this year largely due to a government raid on the Bird-in-Hand farm of Amish farmer Amos Miller. Pennsylvania’s Department of Agriculture found that Miller didn’t have a permit to sell milk in the state, despite the fact that he and his family had been selling milk for generations. Agents from the Department of Agriculture raided his farm and seized much of his food and dairy products. In the ensuing case, Miller was banned from selling milk in Pennsylvania, with the case ongoing. The case was seen by the Amish community as government tyranny and helped mobilize them against the party of Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat. The Republicans grasped their opportunity and initiated a serious registration drive, the first in Amish history, and the Amish responded by voting for Trump in ‘unprecedented numbers’. What was viewed as an overzealous government was rejected by the Amish who responded by voting for Donald Trump, whose Republican party favor's less government intervention in the life of the people. ‘That was the impetus for them to say, “We need to participate”,’ a source said of Amish voters. ‘This is about neighbours helping neighbours.’ The Amish are people of high moral principle, who value family life and who view gambling as a sin. Yet they voted for the much-married, casino-owning Donald Trump. They are not hypocrites, they are simply people who want to get on with their own lives without being badgered by an overweening government which thinks it knows best about everything. For the Democrats, as other progressives, it is all about control. From pronouns, DEI, required quotas, to mandatory speech and enforced gender ideology, Democrats demand the right to control what people say and do. Let us hope they and other progressives have learned that ordinary people do not like to be controlled by power hungry ideologues and they will rebel, even Christians. https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/you-must-be-bad-if-even-the-amish-are-up-in-arms/
