Thom - thank you. Today's post is a hammer. Where in the holy hell are all of the posers in warrior's makeup that I stupidly donated nearly all of my savings to? Literally almost all of it. I feel like an idiot for believing, for taking words so seriously that I felt a duty to give time and money I didn't really have. I am a dutiful person by nature, but now I am also a betrayed person - a dupe, a mark, a damn fool. I see no difference between my own wishful thinking and the self-inflicted idiocy of the MAGA congregants.
I gave up NYT, WAPO in protest, but spend more on Substacks + boucoups more. Virtually none are discussing the REAL news...like how we just lost the Cold War.
I also wasted more than I should have in political contributions.
The REAL story is that there were a lot of inconsitencies....like 2020. Trump accused us of fixing the vote...and to any reasonable degree of probability, with Russian help did it Explain how a lesbian won the senate in Wisconsin bigly and Harris lost. How a woman won in MI? How a Chicano in AZ?
If Trump "won," it was only by a whisker.....
Meanwhile, in September, DOJ asserted that Sergey Kiriyenko had created some 30 internet domains to spread Russian disinformation, including on Elon Musk’s X which was formerly known as Twitter. In October, the Wall Street Journal disclosed that Musk had been in contact with Kiriyenko and Vladimir Putin which Dmitry Peskov affirmed.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Kiriyenko
Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin said he had interfered in U.S. elections and would continue doing so in future, We have interfered (in U.S. elections), we are interfering and we will continue to interfere. Carefully, accurately, surgically and in our own way, as we know how to do." https://www.reuters.com/world/us/russias-prigozhin-admits-interfering-us-elections-2022-11-07/
Same here. Meidas Touch, Brian Tyler Cohen and their satellite channels are now my only sources of news and whom I support. Of course HCR and TH as well as others. The ABC capitulation was disgusting but it seems that they realized fighting the suit would cost them more than the 15 mil they "donated" to Trump. Not surprising considering Disney's capitulation to De Santis.
I could confidently say that about many states. IMHO women's rights are a sticky issue for many men nation-wide. Kamala campaigned heavily on women's rights. Shirley Chisholm said, "I've always met more discrimination being a woman than being Black...men are men."
No, I would say don't campaign on Women's Rights but take it up after you get elected. That means having a hidden agenda. I would dislike that and would have to compartmentalize my mind to deal with it.
I spent only about $1300 on Democrats this time, but 97% of it to individuals, since I distrust the DNC's judgment. They all lost. I spent only about 13 hours in pounding shoe soles door-to-door, including interviewing people with Trump signs on their lawns. What a losing cause it was for me. But I don't regret it. It was hopeless, but it was the right thing to do. I actually agree with Jon's rant, but I chuckle it off as a slice of life.

Amen. Same here! I have not contributed a penny to anyone but Jasmine Crockett since Nov 6.

Hasn't Putin bragged about it? Does he expect a quid pro quo?
Why don't "media" address this? If you want more market share THIS IS THE ISSUE.
Hi Daniel,
Same here. Meidas Touch, Brian Tyler Cohen and their satellite channels are now my only sources of news and whom I support. Of course HCR and TH as well as others. The ABC capitulation was disgusting but it seems that they realized fighting the suit would cost them more than the 15 mil they "donated" to Trump. Not surprising considering Disney's capitulation to De Santis.
Thanks for the links, I will def check them out.
Best regards.
It’s also curious how Democrats won the top four positions of the state government in NC and yet trump ends up winning NC?
Don’t forget about the bomb threats in swing states on election night. I know it’s easy to as the media acts like it didn’t happen.
https://smartelections.us/2024-election-update
Greg Palast says 2.7 million provisional ballots in swing states not counted.
But I emphacize the national security aspect. IMHO Jan 6 was an insurrection. 2024 Russia perpetrates it.
Women's rights must be a big cause of Kamala's losing NC.
Why do you say that?
Btw, I was born and raised in NC.
I could confidently say that about many states. IMHO women's rights are a sticky issue for many men nation-wide. Kamala campaigned heavily on women's rights. Shirley Chisholm said, "I've always met more discrimination being a woman than being Black...men are men."
So abandoning women’s rights is the way to proceed?
No, I would say don't campaign on Women's Rights but take it up after you get elected. That means having a hidden agenda. I would dislike that and would have to compartmentalize my mind to deal with it.
Really liking Jasmine Crockett - she brings it and tells the truth
She brings the truth and the receipts!

I don’t have the money to donate.
Jon, I made the same mistake in 2016 when I was all in tor Bernie. Never again!
