Megyn Kelly vs. Jimmy Kimmel vs. Tucker Carlson

Megyn Kelly puts Jimmy Kimmel in his place over him blasting Tucker Carlson about his Twitter / X show.

Corruption in plain sight, even fake names are coming out

I wonder if any of those fake names he used included Let's Go Brandon:

The Silent Depression (you're living in it)

This is an interesting take, and not wrong.  The Great Depression versus now (guess which is worse):

Now this?

The Let's Go Brandon DOJ is suing Elon Musk's SpaceX for hiring Americans?  That's clown world.

How can a gaggle of idiots get EVERYTHING so uniformly wrong? Even idiots are going to get something right.  Not these guys.  It has to be deliberate. And if that's true, they are not idiots running the government, they are saboteurs.

In Russia, it appear that Putin took out his former ally, rebellious Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin:

Not really a surprise but still an indication of who Putin really is; a scumbag, murderous dictator.

Full Tucker Carlson Donald Trump interview

President Trump did not join the GOP candidates' debate.  Instead he sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson.  Here's the full interview.

Full GOP Debate

In the interest of sharing as much information as possible here's the full first 2024 GOP debate from August 23, 2023.

Canada court declared war on Jordan Peterson's liberty

There's a lot to digest today.  The GOP debate, the president Trump interview with Tucker Carlson.  But let's start with Canada's encroaching censorship and the court decision on Jordan Peterson.

As a Canadian citizen with an American heart, this is scary.  Jordan Peterson responds in the interview, pointing out basically that every Canadian has now been told to shut the hell up. 

Interesting take on the Fox-hosted GOP presidential debate

Megyn Kelly's take is pretty good on Trump versus Fox News regarding the presidential debate.

The takeaway is that without Trump, Fox is in dead water territory. No current, no movement.

Hottest ever. Except not.

Dr. John Robson comments on the claim of the hottest day ever based on computer manipulation of data going back only to 1979. That's not an oops, it's deliberate.

They won't let you see this truth

If the truth gets out there, they've lost the election.

It's not political?

The optics are indeed horrific - Fani Willis hosts a Democrat fundraiser while going after president Trump.  This judge was from a year ago was exactly right:

Local politics matter

This is why every single thing you can vote for, be it federal, state or local, matters.

OUT. OF. TOUCH.

Democrats and the media have no clue how out of touch they are.  This is why Oliver Anthony's song connects with 90%+ of Americans (and for that matter people in a lot of other countries too).  Here are two examples of the cluelessness:

So spot on it's become laughable

First, second, and now this:

How much further does this have to go before even the left wakes up to the evil right under our noses?

More spot on.

The story continues.

Spot on!

The ridiculous indictment in Georgia of president Trump is so political it's beyond fathoming.

Stark contrast in Maui wildfire responses

The contrast is one of avoidance versus one of acknowledgement of the problem.

Not wrong

 

Then there's this...

FOR THOSE KEEPING SCORE:

3/17 - Hunter admits laptop
3/18 - Trump indictment news

6/8 - FBI doc alleges Biden bribe
6/9 - INDICTMENT

7/26 - Hunter plea deal collapses
7/27 - INDICTMENT

7/31 - Devon Archer testifies
8/1 - INDICTMENT

[NEW]

8/9 - MORE damning Biden…

Rolling Stone Magazine hates you

Rolling Stone magazine blasted both the movie Sound of Freedom (which they actually claim is a QAnon film.  No really, they said that) and Oliver Anthony's song Rich Men North of Richmond as far-right (and worse).  I have watched a vast array of reactions, from a vast array of people.  They all feel it. The song is not far-right, it speaks to 90% of America, maybe more.  It's not far right, it's everyone.  Except the elite.

Rolling Stone mistakenly believe they are part of the elite. Laughable. They are at best part of the useful idiot class. They hate those who don't view them as elite, whom they believe is the far right.  No, it's 90% of America who resonate with the truth. They know politicians don't have their best interest at heart.  They know Rolling Stone doesn't either. WE know it.  You know it.  And Rolling Stone magazine hates you for it.

The dumpster fire of a magazine has exposed itself as being on the wrong side of history.  Good.

The Hunter Biden special counsel farce

This Merrick Garland guy was almost on the Supreme Court. Wow. And now this. Merrick Garland appoints David Weiss as the special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. Who is David Weiss? Watch the video below. This is so flawed there are no words to describe how corrupt and terrible it is.  Well, except maybe this.

Chipping away at the foundation

If I were a communist I would want to take down the economy of the most powerful free market economy in the world, the United States. And in an adversarial role, you cannot simply go head to head economically with an economic superpower. You have to chip away at the edges. You have to make the United States spend money on things it shouldn't have to spend on so that you can level the playing field.  That means you go for the edges, like creating a need to build a border wall (not that the need for one was created by communists), or better still, you chip away at the foundation.

I've always said that without a robust economy you cannot do anything else (military, social security, education) and without those you have nothing - it's all about the economy.  I still believe that.  But a robust economy has to be founded on something. Yes there's a need for an abundance of land, labor and capital.  But some countries have those things and still flounder (Russia).  Why is that? I think it's because there is another ingredient required.  More foundational than an economy is a system that enables that economy, one founded on common sense, which is founded on values, which is founded on irrefutable principles. 

So a communist in order to subvert American principles of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and honorable behavior such as the Golden Rule, which in turn is deeply rooted in Christianity), you have to chip away at those, not the economy directly.  You remove the family and replace it with welfare and the education state.  You remove liberty and replace it with security (i.e. government protections).  You remove incentive and replace it with handouts.  You remove the pride in country and replace it with shame and then divide people into warring factions full of vitriol and hatred for each other. And of course you remove common sense and replace it with digestible, repeatable propaganda. You use emotion instead of logic, but logic would halt your sabotage in its tracks. 

In case you haven't noticed, all of this and more has been happening in America for decades.  It accelerated dramatically under president Obama. And while the people tried to pause it with president Trump it only abated slightly, the vitriol and hatred on one side even got dramatically worse. Under Let's Go Brandon (I see the irony of that being vitriolic) it has resumed apace. 

The infectious poison of communism established roots in America that long outlasted its source, the Soviet Union. America, that truly by now could be a bastion of hope and opportunity, is in decay.  People have slowed it for a time here and there but not vanquished or rooted out the source of the problem, which spread from places like university intelligentsia to every corner of the country.

This is the point we are at. People are awakening to it, but whether it is in sufficient numbers to stem the tide of failure and havoc this will wreak is not yet clear. 2024 will be very telling.

A star is born

Wow! This captures what millions of people are feeling so perfectly. Oliver Anthony does folk/country in a grassroots, based, populist way that is brilliant musically, poetically and politically.

Canada's economy ripe for collapse

This is a fairly accurate prediction about the future of Canada's economy.  There are a few minor things to which I would take exception, most notably the conservative party does have plans to address the housing issue as well as the economy and it was glossed over as nobody has plans to deal with this.  Otherwise, this is an accurate assessment of the current situation and likely outcome.

The Bud Light train wreck continues

When there's a train wreck in progress, it's hard not to watch. Just don't get in the way.

Jan 6th: How it's going

First it was denied. But the truth of the FBI and January 6th is slowly coming out. 

Trust first? No.

Last week I was listening to Mike Slater on the SiriusXM Patriot channel, hosting the Breitbart News Daily morning show.  He has done a good job since taking over the hosting job in recent weeks.  But he was talking about something that while true on the surface, wasn't as simple as his thoughts on it. To be fair he said he wanted to take a deeper dive into it in the future, likely knowing he was only scratching the surface.  What he said was that America needed to regain trust.

What he meant by trust was a world (or country) where your word was your bond, your handshake was your bond. He argued America needed to get back to the point where people trusted each other, people trusted the police, people trusted their government.  All true, and very commendable as a goal.  Americans need to trust their government at a minimum, it's the only way to have a functioning society. Here's the problem; trust requires honor.

Honor is a foundational principle. Trust follows honor, not the reverse. Ronald Reagan once said about the Soviet Union during nuclear disarmament negotiations.  It's actually a Russian proverb ironically.  The concept of trust but verify makes sense.  You can trust the person with whom you have an agreement, and they may have honor and stick to it.  They may not have honor. Or worse still they may have honor but the lack of verification creates the opportunity for them to take advantage of your trust.  What started out as honor may be tempted into greed or abuse of your trust.  Verifying removes the opportunity, or at least mitigates it. 

America's motto is "In God we trust." That's about the sum of it.  It doesn't say 'in the federal government we trust', or 'in everybody we trust'. That's because we can't. Trust but verify.  Today Mike Slater was talking about illegal immigration and buoys that effectively prevent people from crossing the river into America. That isn't even trust, but it certainly is a variation of verify; they are trying to verify that the border is secure, obviating the need for trust. We do not trust illegal immigrants to immigrate legally, clearly.  Trust is merely an outcome - an end-state that is derived from honor in all parties.  That is why, with the exception of God, trust is a dangerous thing if it is a foundation rather than a result of something more foundational.

Conservative comedy

Something light-hearted for a Saturday.  Conservative stand-up comedy from Nicholas De Santo:

An update on Trudeau's censorship

Michelle Rempel Garner, a Canadian member of parliament and outspoken conservative critic of Canada's dictatorial Justin Trudeau, breaks down the new censorship and the situation going on between Canada and Facebook.  Yes, this about censorship.  It's also about revenue streams for taxation.  Sometimes it's good to just stand back and let the experts, or those in the know, speak.  Hint CNN: that's called reporting.

More Trump hunting from insane leftists

Another day another phony Trump witch hunt. 

Economic conservatism alone equals disaster

The other day I was listening to Breitbart on satellite radio, and the host was talking with a conservative millennial.  The guest was saying that his generation consisted of a lot of people who were fiscally conservative but socially liberal.  Better than nothing I suppose, but not a recipe for a strong America in the long run.  My immediate thought was "Oh, that's not good."

The guest went on to explain how conservatives should frame their argument to millenials using that lens.  I get it; you have to know your audience and speak to them in ways that reach them; use their terminologies, appeal to their innate sensibilities.  These are good ways to connect and improve your chance of winning debates, gaining voters etc. In addition, I have always maintained that the number one factor for keeping America great, or making it great again, is the economy.  Without a strong, robust economy, you have no military, you have no education, you end up like Rwanda, destitute and hopeless.  (Sorry Rwanda if that's hurtful but comparatively speaking, it's true).  So it would seem that I get the point. Economic conservatism matters most.

But it's not the whole equation. Social liberalism is inherently flawed and leads to social policies that deteriorate the United States economically but even more importantly morally and spiritually. Ultimately it would also lead to economic decay as well.  But even if it doesn't would you recognize the United States where the economy is great, business is robust, employment is low, abd wealth is high BUT abortion is legal at any point, assisted suicide is encouraged, illegal immigration is rampant, crime is rampant, corruption is rampant, drag shows in kindergarten are the norm?  Would you want to live in a country like that?

I know I wouldn't.  And a socially liberal society, inevitably ends up there. The past 50 years in all of the Western world is proof.  Not only that, it also inevitably invites socialism because all these ridiculous causes become in turn the cause celebre. They all need funding. Everyone is still a victim. Every crazy idea must be elevated. Bud Light must prevail. You get the idea.

As a strongly economic conservative it is my belief that it must stem from social conservatism first and foremost, or else it is hollow, it is sewing the seeds of its own death. Morality is at the root of everything good.  Eschewing that, you either have nothing or will end up with nothing.
