As crime plummets in DC, it’s true irony watching and listening to democrats complain that Trumps an authoritarian for putting 2000 national guard troops in DC, all to help police protect residents and tourists from out of control gangs and crime. If you remember just 4 and 1/2 years ago, after refusing to put Trump requested national guard troops in DC on January 6th, Pelosi pushed a 1.6 billion dollar bill through congress to install fencing around the capital and place 25,000, 25,000(!!) national guard troops there in DC for 6 months. It wasn’t to stop crime, no, it was to create an image. Remember, crime increased in DC during this time. She also got the phony illegal hand picked January 6th committee together, all to prosecute Trump, an innocent American, to hide her incompetent handling of the situation. All of this, a big phony show at our expense as usual.
Looking back at what Pelosi and the democrats did makes it impossible not to see the utter corruption and authoritarian criminal character of these people. With the authoritarian jailing of political opponents, the billions laundered through the Ukraine war, the deaths, the Afghanistan pull out, the whole authoritarian covid debacle with forced experimental dna changing poison injections, silencing people, the global warming hoax, the insider trading skims, its a true miracle America survives with such corrupt, greedy, authoritarian, incompetent, elected gangsters in power. George Soros and the rest of the communist democrats must be so disappointed to see Washington DC finally get cleaned up. You can understand why they have such hatred and contempt for Trump, he’s trying to take down their violent mafia crime family. J.Goodrich
I’m hoping that George Soros and his boy is investigated and tried for creating a National Emergency at our Southern Border, and financing all of the riots in the past 10 years.
Hungary will not allow G. Soros in their nation for good reason—he’s an agitator, a scorner of truth, that creates division and chaos. Freeze his assets then pay off our debt with it, for all the tragedy he has created in America.
I'm so glad you commented, being thoughtful and kind is sometimes hard to find, but not here! (that may not be what you meant, but it's true anyhow...)
Spot on, James. As for "World Without Borders" protagonist - George Soros - he is a "NATURALIZED" citizen of the U.S. - who immigrated from his place of birth (Budapest, Hungary) in 1961; who SWORE two "uphold" the U.S. Constitution and was naturalized in 1965; and ever since has been financing virtually EVERY "left-Wing" (read COMMUNIST) Front Groups in the USA (and globally)- for over 40 YEARS! This old bolshevik Asshole should be stripped of his ill-gotten U.S. citizenship and be DEPORTED - or else face the rest of his worthless life in a federal slammer.
I think we should presume that strategy sessions are already under way at Democrat HQ and the Open Society Foundations. They're not just going to stand idly by as improvements are being made, and do nothing to stop it.
Is it just "coincidence" that the "strategy" used by so-called Democrats in the USA is virtually identical to that used by Communists over the past century?
I posted this here some months ago. With your comment, I went back to retrieve for repost. I think the default is a condition of perpetual agitation and demoralization, about which Yuri Bezmenov prophetically warned us.
"[Herbert] Marcuse joined the Frankfurt School in 1933 and quickly became a leader of the movement. After he moved to the United States and became a citizen, he was hired by FDR's Office of War Information to create anti-Nazi propaganda, despite his Marxism. He also worked in the Office of Strategic Services (the pre-CIA OSS), and the State Department, where he worked to prevent the United States from pushing Germany away from democratic socialism. He taught at Columbia, then Harvard, then Brandeis, and then finally at the University of California in San Diego."
...
"Marcuse's mission was to dismantle American society by using diversity and 'multiculturalism' as crowbars with which to pry the structure apart, piece by piece. He wanted to set blacks in opposition to whites, set all 'victim groups' in opposition to the society at large. Marcuse's theory of victim groups as the new proletariat, combined with Horkheimer's critical theory, found an outlet in academia, where it became the basis for the post-structural movement- Gender Studies, LGBT/'Queer' Studies, African-American Studies, Chicano Studies, etc."
GREAT post, James Lord. What boggles my mind is that almost ALL of "American" academia not only welcomed the German Communist Frankfurt School interlopers with wide-open arms - but made NO effort to refute or refuse the Marxist poison being injected into the veins (and brains) of American youth.
All the conservative media constantly talk about the Democrat party being in disarray. Believe that one at your own peril. Of course they are regrouping behind the scenes. These people won't give up that easily.
James, it does amaze me as to how true some of these memes are. The total dedication to keeping illegals in our cities and total disregard for the safety of it's tax paying citizens blows my mind.
Democrats are always on the wrong side of every situation...
Yes. They were hoping and working hard to create utter chaos, crime and filth so people would beg for correction, cleanup and improvement to a catastrophe of their own making. Hmmmm….where have I heard this before? Playbook as old as time. One day they’ll even get their wish.
"Come on, man!!" Nasty Piglousy just wants what's best for the Basket of Deplorables!!! What really puzzles me is how these slimy lizards think if they ever succeed in putting China in charge of the entire world, they would not be among the first to be eliminated!! No one trusts a traitor!!! Do they not recall what happened to millions under Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc.?
Thank You Melanie, that means a lot to me coming from a great writer like you!!! I’m lucky to have found the Malones and all of you. It’s been a great learning experience for me.
It is incredibly hard to be patient after what the cheating, lying, non-salvageable Democrats have done to this country. And George Soros is long overdue for serious retribution for all he has done.
Be sure and include young, fully trained and indoctrinated Alex S in the planning. He offers a long shelf life for his Dad's goals and is hands on with Dad's moneys.
would be nice if we could put all the dirty laundry in a washing machine, or bulldoze the garbage, but that is not how it works, because there are people in the clothes and between the garbage, and no one wants to be called a criminal... even with the names we know. I still would like to see some arrests though, before they all die of old age.
It is HARD to build and EASY to destroy most everything - especially individual liberty and freedom for individuals. Both Biden and Obama have NEVER held 'private' sector jobs or have had ANY hands-on work experience - and that includes George Soros, Bernie Sanders and Jerrold Nadler - just for openers.
To borrow from a 12-Step program phrase ... It took them 16 years to F everything up. It's gonna take more than just a few months and years to fix it.
Have patience, temper expectations. It probably will take 16 years to fix everything, especially the severe damage the Biden administration inflicted upon us all.
I am literally MORTIFIED that our communist prime minister (Anthony Albanese) has been complicit in allowing President Donald Trump to cease being THE BEST friend we Australians ever had. In doing so, he has insulted the most powerful (and decent) Man in the world, and forced We Australians to become subservient to the chinese communist party (how many times has he actually visited China)? FOUR! How many times has he even spoken to President Donald Trump? ( UM (NONE) Visits? ( UM (None)
No, I am afraid not my Friend, and let me tell you, I am NOT a person easily frightened. I have got a strong following here in Australia now, and Hundreds of Thousands are following my endeavour to "take back control" of our (once great) Nation. Our next election is not for 2 1/2 years, Albanese only won (AGAIN, because he hid the fact that he was a communist, and it was only Trevor Loudon who spent a full year investigating Albanese that made the revelation in his book "Comrade Prime Minister") several months ago, and we here in Australia have only three year terms. I respectfully draw your attention to a video that I did that has received nearly a Million views, and I believe even Dr Malone may find it interesting because communism is on its final thrust to "take over the world", and NOTHING is more attractive to communism than The United States of America. I NEVER thought it could happen here, and I am still reeling in shock, but IT IS NOW OUR FULL GOVERNMENT OF AUSTRALIA.
I recommend the video to you (and Dr Malone) mate.
I knew a bunch of ANZAC troops in the SE Asian War Games and they were quite a rowdy bunch. Sure had some times with them and learned the words and meanings to "Waltzing Matilda". Since it was accompanied by much quaffing of Lone Star Beer, I completely forgot all of it.
I love you guys!!! I had to laugh about the toilet paper holder. I solved the problem of the dang spring roll flying out of my hands when I changed the roll and ending up under the sink where I had to crawl on my old knees to reprieve. I threw it away and stuck a roll on each arm. Boom! Problem solved.
Also, I'm not into self promotion so when I share a substack it's just because it seems to be on the same wavelength. Just posted this one a couple minutes ago - https://meemanator.substack.com/p/truth-is-gold
It seems ridiculous with all the things to be concerned about today but I, for one, am sorely disappointed in the Cracker Barrel changes. Firstly, because it smacks of political correctness (even if that had nothing to do with it). Secondly, for decades it's been one of my most favorite places to eat - and to shop! Not just for the great southern cooking that can't be beat and is always delicious and perfect no matter which store you stopped into, but for the nostalgic atmosphere. Their shop always had unique things you couldn't find just anywhere. I'm just not happy about it at all. 😕
I do agree with you Cracker Barrel is just a nostalgic place to visit. I think those of us who are a certain age visit more frequently and enjoy it. I hated the redecorating. It looks like a sterile cafeteria now. They did change the menu a bit (taking off the cornbread muffins for instance) but already brought those back because of all the complaints. That white, liberal CEO is wrong. Most people DO NOT like these changes. What is wrong with nostalgia?
I just read an article reviewing the new look, and menu items. I think it's not that changed, in truth. They still have a shop, but the linked article says, it's less cluttered. - to me this is a plus. The menu also looks the same- campfire themes and such.
I looked at pictures on X of one completed.... and, *if* the photo is genuine, it looks like a new modern MacDonald's, all glass and steel and truly horrible. I hope the photo was a meme!
Update - Ok. It's a meme and apparently a satire page. So glad to know that! LOL
I found others that look ok, just brighter, less cluttered, but same wooden doors, and paneled walls. Apparently, it's not a uniform re-branding, which seems antithetical to branding, one would think. Me thinks someone is gonna get fired.
A local grocery (that starts with Kr - in eastern USA) advertised pints of blueberries on sale. I was in produce section & found the sign for "Blueberries - Pints" - & the price, but the blueberry containers said 11.2 oz. I found an employee (in her late teens or early 20s) & asked where the pints of blueberries were. She took me to the sign. I said, "These are only 11.2 oz. Where are the pints?" She replied, "These are the pints. A pint is 11.2 oz." I asked, incredulous, "Since when? All my life (& I'm 70 years old), it's been 'a pint's a pound the world around', and a pound is 16 oz." She shook her head and walked away. I walked away, too, without 11.2 oz of blueberries. It was not a "sale" at that price, simply a deception.
I had to laugh about the toilet paper one and showed it to my husband. We've been married 56 years, and every.single.time he has changed the roll, he has put it on in the "back" position. I come along and change it. He said he didn't know he did that, and also that he had never noticed that I changed it! 🤣
I just point out how motels roll the paper forward and make a little triangle of the end to show it is afresh roll. Also when you just pull the paper toward you, you don't have to handle the roll backwards to reach under to get the paper, fewer motions when it the paper rolls forward. My wife also will put a new roll on top of the roll with just a few sheets left on it. "Monster" <LOL>. The is one case where having the roll dispense from the back may be better = if you have a cat that likes to unroll the whole spool onto the floor.
Just curious, does your preference to have the TP roll hang in front also apply to paper towels hung in the kitchen? At some point, the manufacturer must have commissioned a study to see which direction their customers preferred and then they designed machines to print on that preferred side. If towels were printed on the inside, would you reverse the roll to see and brighten your day? Maybe some bold CEO could attempt this “rebranding” and they might just influence and change the world one roll at a time?
The panel about regulating our emotions was poignant for me. There were scars, small scars, on my body from a father who didn’t excel in this area (from my experience he came by this from his father) - hopefully that propensity ended with my son’s grandfather. Son may have received a few swats on his butt but he’ll never have a memory of a vicious attack from his father.
Anyway, that aside (prayerfully), my first thought after agreeing with the crux of the panel was to also admit that venting in private can almost be orgasmic, cathartic if done right.
When I saw the second meme I was transported to my youth. A couple of neighbor kids and I walked up the street in broad daylight and toilet papered a few a-hem locations. What harmless fun! Eggs were known to be a little more serious, they could damage some parts of cars, but great fun anyhow. Similar to tipped outhouses, but they were more difficult to find. I used to love to listen to the stories of my step-father and his brothers about "the good old days". They would move the wooden steps from the doorway and watch...
My friends and I were pros at TPing houses in 8th and 9th grade. We would have a slumber party on the weekend and then sneak out at 12 or 1am, walk miles to the target house usually a teacher or another middle school mean girl, like us. Hiding in the bushes when a car goes by, hoping it was not a cop. Never eggs, boys usually did that.
Today, after hearing about the unanswered phone calls to the FBI's hotline by immigrant children seeking help, I've decided to no longer refer to the Democrats as a "Party," but as the Democrat Mafia. I think it's a better fit.

I’ve never understood why he’s never been investigated by anyone anywhere. Except Hungary which has had the good sense to kick him out
Once heard there were arrest warrants out for him in several countries for economic crimes
Makes me wonder why he's still free. He must be in a position to buy his way out of anything.
I've never understood that either. He's the worst of them all...if there can be a "worst".
James,
My 1st reply to you is long overdue! You have a distinct clarity and thorough commentary on Malones posts for which I admire both!
Thank You Mark your very kind!!
It makes me so happy to read threads like this.

We once deported mafia thugs for less reason than he has accrued.

We took to heart the lesson about regulating our emotions. And then immediately flipped out over the TP roll.
🤣🤣🤣 made me laugh out loud for real!
Me too!😂😂😂
I just know you put the toilet paper spool one for my wife. Thanks!
I had to laugh about the toilet paper one and showed it to my husband. We've been married 56 years, and every.single.time he has changed the roll, he has put it on in the "back" position. I come along and change it. He said he didn't know he did that, and also that he had never noticed that I changed it! 🤣
Be grateful you get back...apparently my hubby and kids are monsters
Oh I have had so many "discussions" regarding the proper way to hang the TP! People can really become crazy over it!
I just point out how motels roll the paper forward and make a little triangle of the end to show it is afresh roll. Also when you just pull the paper toward you, you don't have to handle the roll backwards to reach under to get the paper, fewer motions when it the paper rolls forward.

There were scars, small scars, on my body from a father who didn’t excel in this area (from my experience he came by this from his father) - hopefully that propensity ended with my son’s grandfather. Son may have received a few swats on his butt but he’ll never have a memory of a vicious attack from his father.
Anyway, that aside (prayerfully), my first thought after agreeing with the crux of the panel was to also admit that venting in private can almost be orgasmic, cathartic if done right.
When I saw the second meme I was transported to my youth. A couple of neighbor kids and I walked up the street in broad daylight and toilet papered a few a-hem locations. What harmless fun! Eggs were known to be a little more serious, they could damage some parts of cars, but great fun anyhow. Similar to tipped outhouses, but they were more difficult to find. I used to love to listen to the stories of my step-father and his brothers about "the good old days". They would move the wooden steps from the doorway and watch...
My friends and I were pros at TPing houses in 8th and 9th grade. We would have a slumber party on the weekend and then sneak out at 12 or 1am, walk miles to the target house usually a teacher or another middle school mean girl, like us. Hiding in the bushes when a car goes by, hoping it was not a cop. Never eggs, boys usually did that.
Lots of fun, kinda mean, but good memories.
As a Californian I most applaud the mimes re: Schiff. We are surrounded by evil: Newsom, Schiff, Padilla and Mim.
In Re the MSNBC MSNOW. Is it just me, but has anyone else noticed MS is the short alphabet soup for a nasty disease: Multiple Sclerosis?
Oddness for the Friday, Keet
Yes, why not? MS is a man-made dis-ease.
Regulation of emotions is what people on the spectrum can’t do. Currently one in 31 children is on the spectrum. One in 12 boys in California.
Today, after hearing about the unanswered phone calls to the FBI's hotline by immigrant children seeking help, I've decided to no longer refer to the Democrats as a "Party," but as the Democrat Mafia. I think it's a better fit.
About time MSNBC became MSNAD?
Only 2,000 years too late but they can catch up?
(Err ... OK... without too much "ad"vertising?)
