Democrats' Paygate exposed

There's a lot of coverage on this subject but Black Conservative Perspective does a thorough job explaining the details about how Democrats have been paying influencers obscene amounts of money to spew their talking points for them.  Democrats it seems have always had to buy their influence because the reality of their positions is so inane.

Mortgage Fraud is the new 40

Democrats who tried to skewer president Trump on business fraud, an ultimately doomed to fail effort, are one by one getting caught with their mortgage fraud pants down. It seems like every Democrat has been doing it. Here's the latest one, ousted Fed governor Lisa Cook.

Canada really is a heartbreaking ship-show

If you live in America and you want to know how bad it has gotten in Canada in the last 10 years, watch this entire video (90% of which is people talking about specific issues). I guarantee you your mind will be blown. It's actually heartbreaking. 

(If you want to see the economic situation, skip to 6:40).

The saddest part of this is that Canadian media is 1000% in on the Liberal Party game. There is no Fox News or equivalent here (unless you pay extra to get the American Fox News channel). We are instead fed a steady diet of how great Trudeau was, how great Carney is, how terrible the conservatives are. And you know what?  The propaganda works. Even conservative leaders have to be careful to make sure they look like they see Trump as the bad guy or they will get politically wrecked. It's gotten so bad that that sort of thinking has infected many within the Conservative Party. 40% of Canadians back our common sense Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre. Yet it's not enough to overcome the political media machine that cranks up every election. Poilievre was on track to historically demolish Justin Trudeau, and potentially wipe out the Liberal Party. But as soon as the party switched leaders Mark Carney became Canada's supposed economic savior.

All that while Pierre Poilievre's since removed top political advisor was hanging up the phone on Donald Trump Jr., alienating the Trump family. That's what's called a perfect storm of BAD.

But ultimately it is the Canadian people who are being decimated by ruinous policies, whether they are brainwashed Liberal Party simps or clear-thinking rationale people (conservatives). Canada has become unsustainable and unless there is a change in the next 12 months, it will collapse in the coming few years.

Window Dressing Is Not A Win

Cracker Barrel rolled back it's logo changes, but not it's DEI.  Last night when people were crowing about how the backlash and then later president Trump chiming in caused a reversal for Cracker Barrel, I was thinking wait a minute, that's just a logo.  What's actually changing that really matters?" Benny Johnson, after stepping back from the original euphoria of victory came to the same conclusion:

What Cracker Barrel has done is change their window dressing.  That's not real change. The pressure should not stop until the root cause is fixed.

The Fed gets it finally (way late mind you)

The Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell capitulated; he's admitted he was wrong on the impact of tariffs and the markets responded, positively and strongly.

Last Friday in Jackson Hole, Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell finally – and grudgingly – admitted what the Trump team has been saying all along: tariffs don’t fuel inflation. 

At most, tariffs create a one-time adjustment in prices, not the kind of runaway spiral that demands punishing rate hikes. And even that one-time bump may be negligible if, as we have long argued, foreign exporters – not American consumers – shoulder most or all of the burden. 

The implication is clear: whether the impact is zero or merely a one-time step-up in prices, there is absolutely no justification for the Fed to hide behind "tariff uncertainty" as an excuse for overly restrictive interest-rate policy. 

Now it's time for the Fed to act.  The words themselves are not enough and the U.S. rates are well behind the global curve: 

Global rate spreads underscore just how out of touch the Fed is with the rest of the world. The European Central Bank’s deposit facility sits at 2%. The Bank of Japan holds near 0.5%. China runs its seven-day repo at 1.4%. Against that backdrop, the Fed’s 4.25%–4.50% target range remains a glaring outlier – more than 200 basis points above Europe, nearly 400 above Japan, and triple China. 

It's time to act decisively. If Powell does, watch out; the economic boom will be that much bigger. 

Asmongold victorious over broken-armed Karen

Why Alzheimer's matters from a political lens

This video is fascinating, it talks about a some things that are interesting from a political lens. There's a lot to be taken from this video from a health perspective and they are worth considering.  But I have two additional, not primarily health-related takeaways that matter in a more political realm.

Trust The Science?

The first takeaway, in this video Dr. Benjamin Bikman, a leading metabolic scientist, points out that for decades brain plaque was considered the root cause of Alzheimer's. It turns out billions have been spent on what was either fraudulent or at least flawed data. Decades spent on trust the science. 

Science at it's root is based on the principle of question the science. You don't learn by not asking questions, you instead inculcate wrote dogma. Science has always improved because the field was founded on the principle of asking questions. The science of gravity was once considered locked in by Isaac Newton. Einstein took it further and in an entirely different direction, and even Einstein, as brilliant as he was, was not the be-all-end-all on any scientific subject. So when they told you that the science on climate change was settled, no it wasn't, and it still isn't.  

And when they told you that the Pfizer and other COVID shots would prevent catching dying spreading worse symptoms and that the normal 7+ year clinic trials weren't necessary because all the kinks were worked out, and jab your kids - yeah, QUESTION THE SCIENCE. 

Insulin resistance and TDS

The second takeaway is a little less obvious. Dr. Benjamin Bikman also mentions that insulin resistance is connected not only to Alzheimer's but also depression and a lot of other mental health issues, there is something that comes to mind.  In the unrelated video below, there's an interesting path that was followed on how we got to the obesity epidemic. The timing of that is eerily close to the rise of radical leftism. Is it possible that so many on the left who are depressed, anxiety riddled, suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and often just crazy in their worldviews (think transgender athletes competing with women), are suffering from insulin resistance? As our diets changed, we opened the doors to not only obesity but a host of metal issues? It seems plausible. 

So maybe the most important way to ensure common sense conservatism thrives in the coming generations is not redistricting, and rooting out the criminal cheating Democrat election machine, and ridding the country of illegal immigrants of census-padding or illegal Democrat voters. Maybe it's RFK Jr. sorting out the toxic mélange that is the American diet. It sounds crazy, but maybe that's just your insulin-resistant brain talking. It doesn't hurt to listen rather than talk. I think John Wayne said that once.

Fat Fiction:

JD Vance is going to be the next president

My thinking is that he's the obvious next GOP nominee and the Democrats are so far from being able to put together an sensible and effective platform it might not matter who their nominee is.  My gut says it will be Gavin Newsom, and despite his smarminess and clear California failures, he is an effective speaker. That said if JD Vance is prepared, I think he can both debate and charm Newsom of the debate stage.  Here's another take:

Rush Limbaugh on immigration

A fond look back at a well-reasoned position.

Friday Musical Interlude - Are You John Wayne?

I'm a bit busy today so instead of a political post, I'm reverting to an old staple on my blog from years ago; Friday Musical Interlude. The song is called "Are You John Wayne?" by Tropical Velvet Rebels.

Crooked Adam Schiff

Isn't that what Rush Limbaugh used to call him? And there's also James Clapper.

I'm not going to shed a cheer over this.

Perhaps several dozen "hurray" cheers though.  Democrats are in trouble in 2026, and I think it's becoming clear, barring something unforeseen, the GOP majority in congress will expand. So too says Newt Gingrich, no slouch in the political analysis world.

What is wrong with you people?

Hamas is a sick and twisted terrorist organization, Yet many countries want to create a Palestinian state; which would seem to be an attempt to appease them (at least from the perspective of Hamas, and other radical Islamists. Whether Palestine deserves statehood is another question and it must be completely removed from the Hamas situation.  Hamas must be eradicated before any recognition or even discussion of Palestinian statehood occurs.  

This article explains it perfectly:

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas launched a brutal assault on Israel. As 5,000 rockets slammed into civilian targets, terrorists massacred at least 1,200 Israelis, wounded about 3,500, and took 251 hostages. They raped, eviscerated, mutilated, beheaded, tortured, and incinerated their victims. At least 75 hostages have died, and about 20 remain in captivity.

Prior to the attack, 137 UN member countries recognized Palestinian statehood. Apparently unbothered by Hamas’ savagery, and distressed by Israel’s aggressive military response, 10 additional nations recognized Palestine after the attack. In the last month, Australia, Britain, Canada, and France provisionally joined them. Led by France, the European Union and 18 countries signed declarations criticizing Israel for defending itself and signaled that they too are poised to recognize Palestine. The United States is the last permanent member of the UN Security Council refusing to go along.

International support for a two-state solution obstructs ceasefire talks and “encourages and rewards” terrorism, Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded, while senior Hamas political bureau member Ghazi Hamad observed that Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack brought the Palestinian cause to the forefront, and “is why all the countries are starting to recognize a Palestinian state.” Israel’s chutzpah in defending itself is the other reason.

...The global demonstrations against Israel, violence against Jews on U.S. campuses, and Israel’s diplomatic isolation are rooted in rampant antisemitism and Marxism. But for Donald Trump and evangelical Christians, the world could lose the birthplace of Western civilization and the only democracy in the Middle East. If that happens, believe the aggressors: The United States is their next target.

Appeasement never works as intended. 

Australia joins in the foolishness

I was shocked when Canada decided to recognize Palestine. I mean I shouldn't have been; we're completely off the rails at this point.  But apparently so is Australia.

Dear President Trump

Forget Washington D.C., capitalize Canada, please. There are a lot of good people here; people with common sense. But then there's also this plethora of issues. There's a lot in here and it's all emblematic of how insane Canada has become.

What happened between Trump and Poilievre?

Is this the real reason Trump torpedoed Canada's conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre explained in this video? It makes a lot of logical sense.

Unfortunately Canadian people and conservatives are caught in the middle of a disrespectful treatment. Canada is sinking and we could have avoided it but for a stupid phone call.

Badge of Honor

This morning I got a dirty look for no apparent reason.  I couldn't figure out why someone passing me by would do that.  Then I realized that I had worn my American Eagle T-shirt. I'm treating the dirty look as a Badger of honor. It was accidental, but I'll take it; I'm not taking off the T-shirt and in fact I'm going to wear it out more often now. 

I however have mostly Levi's, so maybe I don't have the greatest jeans...

It Starts: Wall Street predicts Trump tariffs failure

The message; it's coming. Never mind all of the foreign investment deals, never mind the jobs numbers, never mind the illegal immigration trickle, and all signs pointing to a coming boom.  The Wall Street Journal is here to tell you that the crash is coming... yeah.

There are a lot of reasons that this is surface level drivel. A recession is not coming.  Quote me. And quote them on their 0% growth projection.

Meanwhile in Spain

This is not the first time this has happened in Spain, where citizens have made known they are tired of illegal immigration. As I previously mentioned, this is not just Spain where people have had enough, it's becoming a European thing as much as it is a U.S. thing.

Meanwhile in Ireland

It's not just England, Ireland has stopped standing for poor immigration decisions. Ireland, except for ANTIFA that is:

Meanwhile in England

This is fascinating. Have citizens of England FINALLY started waking up? They haven't had a decent prime minister since Margaret Thatcher. Their problem is similar to that of Canada; they keep voting against their own national interest.

Pelosi insider trading facts are wild

Nobody can defend this, not even Nancy Pelosi herself. Karoline Leavitt lays it out in no uncertain terms. If Nancy Pelosi is making that kind of scratch (pardon the vernacular), she is clearly cheating.  And if she is cheating at that, you know that the Democrats are cheating at everything else. Remember when Donna Brazile pre-fed Hillary Clinton the debate questions in 2016? Yep. Party of cheaters.

Cory Booker angling for 2028 presidential run

Cory Booker is a very left leaning Democrat. He also seems to be an establishment-acceptable guy. And he's also a grandstander. By refusing to endorse a communist mayoral candidate for New York City, he's clearly angling for a 2028 presidential run.  Why is not clear; while the race is supposedly wide open, if Gavin Newsome runs the fix will be in for him.  And regardless, Corey Booker is highly likely to  Kamala Harris  (Munson) his own candidacy anyway.

SCOTUS finally fixed it (sorta)

Ending the race-based redistricting - the cheating that has been helping Democrats for 6 decades - has been fixed. That doesn't mean other forms of cheating won't continue and that nothing else in the electoral process needs fixing.  Far from it.  Nonetheless, this is very good news for fairness, for Republicans, and one more thing for Democrats to rant about.

Come the 2026 midterm election night, this will be brought up again and again by the mainstream media as the real reason for the expanded Republican majority and will by no means be a mandate for common sense, er Republican wins.  When that happens, remember to look at this: voter turnout levels and party support percentages. Don't be fooled.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting shuts down

Why is public broadcasting necessary? It's clearly been entirely biased to the left. Subsidizing that, just like USAID, is free Democrat subsidizing. So goodbye, not sorry to see you go.

Matt Taibbi savages the New York Times

Over Russiagate. It's brilliant. Go read the whole article, but here's a wonderful excerpt to whet your appetite: 

More irritating is Savage’s diatribe against Patel and the hoax “narrative,” offered without mentioning the roughly ten million instances in which the Times botched its coverage of Patel and Republican investigations into Russiagate. When Patel and then-House Intelligence Committee chair Devin Nunes released the much-denounced “Nunes memo” about FISA abuse in early 2018, Savage personally “annotated” the document, which would be vidicated more or less entirely by an Inspector General investigation nearly two years later.

The New York Times continue to operate as if their opinions rather than facts will DICTATE what people believe. It's beyond being propagandists at this point, the NYT has become pathological in their TDS leftism. If it weren't so worrisome it'd just be sad.

Democrats self-own (again)

Democrats are currently a total dumpster fire.

Where's the pressure coming from?

Erstwhile Leftist Darling, AOC, is suddenly under investigation for ethics violations. Where's the pressure coming from?  I hope it isn't Republicans.  AOC is a walking advertisement for "Avoid Democrats". She's consorted with a communist mayoral candidate for New York City, angering what's left of the 'centrist'  Democrats. She's kissed the Israel ring, alienating the rest of "The Squad". Outside of her district she probably couldn't win a free prize, let alone an election. And she's been whispered as a contender for the Democratic nomination for president. So her being in hot water is no gift to the Republicans. Hopefully it's some wing of the Democratic party behind this moving forward, because frankly, it's only a gift to the Republicans if they are not the ones pushing it.

This is what happens when Republicans actually play hard ball the way Democrats play hard ball. Let the Democrats whine  about this.  Republicans whined previously and it did nothing but cede territory. Republicans are looking good in house races for the midterms, thanks to rule changes they are making in places where they are winning. Redistricting, gerrymandering; who cares what they try to call it.  Is it clean? Not really. But is it going to be effective? Yes, very, very likely:

CNN layoffs continue

CNN layoffs are part of a tidal shift. Not a shift to the right, but definitely a shift back from the far left. It had to happen. Mainstream media thought that they could lead people away from their own senses and for a long time it was working.  No longer. Some lies, like climate change for example, are just not sustainable in the face of reality.

Wall Street Journal's Trump hit piece backfire

Here's the synopsis:

But it's more sinister than that.  One of the reporters involved in creating the story, Joe Palazzolo, has ties to Fusion GPS. That's the same outfit responsible for the Russia collusion hoax.

The article was co-authored by reporters with ties to Main Justice, a publication founded by Mary Jacoby, wife of Glenn Simpson, the founder of Fusion GPS. That’s the same shady opposition-research firm Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) paid to fabricate the infamous Steele Dossier. In other words, the same people behind one of the biggest political disinformation campaigns in American history are now behind the absurd Epstein letter story.

This is never going to stop - not unless Democrats face consequences for their ongoing nefarious activities. Kinda like this: 

It’s one thing to weather a storm over carpetbagging. It’s another thing entirely when it involves alleged mortgage fraud. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was the subject of a criminal referral at the Justice Department over claims that he allegedly committed mortgage fraud regarding his primary residence in Maryland...

Admit it didn't work, and move on

This is what the global elite need to do. Do you think they will, or will they continue doubling down on their failed efforts? Spoiler - it's the latter. They do it with everything: the debt ceiling, DEI, and even apparently with Jeffrey Epstein.  Why would, in this case, the European global elite change their Modus Operendi of shoving their agenda down people's throats and then blaming the victims for the problem?

No surprise at all on the  global elites' on the approach.  What surprises me about all of this is three different questions I have: (1) Why didn't the global elite anticipate the response from people in response? (2) Why is the backlash finally happening now? and (3) Is this really the only play the global elite have thought out?

Here are my suspicions on the answers to those questions. (1) They did anticipate a pushback but they don't care because the agenda dictates going forward regardless. That begs the question "What is the ultimate goal of this agenda?" That I cannot fathom because there are no good outcomes from forced multiculturalism, forced ignore Epstein, etc. 

(2) This one is curious. A lot of people knew these policies were not going to end well, but did nothing; cowed into submission by ad hominem attacks of racism. But how did it get to the point where that no longer makes a difference? It could be because crime and economic reality have gotten so bad, there is no alternative but to rise up against these horribly thought out (or deliberately evil) policies. The thing I find ironic is that it is happening across the West at an approximately equal pace. MAGA, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Eastern Europe are all pushing towards more conservative policies. 

That could be as a result of natural pendulum swings politically over time but the pendulums in various nations seem to be synching up. Surely it is rather a result of a manmade interference in the natural flow of these societies. It's no mere coincidence that Western nations had started the DEI and unfettered immigration policies around a similar time frame as well. Perhaps it is only logical that the pushbacks would happen in relatively similar timeframes as well.

(3) The global elite may be rich and powerful, but they are no smarter than the rest of us and in fact, possible not as smart as common sense folk, having lived so detached from reality in their wealth, opulence and decadence.  Yet they are in charge. Ironic.

Is Trump dumb?

Trump has made a lot of masterstroke moves during his two presidencies, but it's hard to see a long game in calling out his supporters. Saying he doesn't want MAGA support is not a smart move.

Messy Epstein handling

The whole Epstein thing has been a clusterfark for the Trump administration. I don't think the entire story is out there and I don't think Pam Bondi is solely at fault here. Something is clearly going on behind the scenes of which "influencers" (and everyone else) are not apprised.

Nevertheless, this is a huge problem that needs to get fixed because the public perception is legitimately disbelief in what's been put out front as the 'answer'. 

New Oil Pipeline in Canada?

Mark Carney is an idiot prime minister, but he's smart enough to know running the country as a leftist liberal he's not going to survive with his minority government. But in Trump's wake and the tariff situation he's still way out of his depth.

His party caused a massive Canadian malaise and he cannot just will it away with pronouncements on oil pipelines or the housing market:

Canadian unemployment is going up, unlike in the U.S.; Canada's problems run deep.

Um...okay.

Grok lost its mind? I think Grok not being politically correct is a good thing but, oops.

Tariffs STUN!

Trump tariffs winning on both ends. Government revenue from tariffs, huge:

Consumer prices on imports are tanking. This is not a win, it's a double win.

I'm torn

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but where there's smoke, there is quite often fire. I wasn't expecting a full blown takedown of everyone in the 'elite' class of America and Western Europe because of the Jeffery Epstein situation. But I did think there was more to it than an absolute nothingburger. Now that president Trump is running things, and Pam Bondi mentioned that there was evidence to go through, and even Kash Patel was running the FBI, I thought there would be something that came out.  Turns out it was nothing but crickets.

There was so much noise around this, and there is so little, in this mega-release of information that either there is a conspiracy that's so much bigger than Republicans versus Democrats and it's now also engulfed the Trump presidency or there was so much misinformation leading up to this that we were all duped previously, and so badly so, that we are now no longer able to accept that it was nothing.

I'm torn. It's pretty easy to believe that this is a second wave of cover up. There's plenty of reason to think that. But it's also possible to understand that something this big could not be kept under wraps successfully for so long and somehow managed to convince those who previously were adamant they would get to the bottom of all this. 

Whatever this case, this has not gotten any less weird.

This is no deterrent at all

Yes, CBS has to pay president Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over their 60 Minutes Kamala Harris coverup. It was election interference and some sort of censure is needed.  The $16 million equates to reputational damage only.  It's not enough to stop CBS from doing the same thing or something similar to the Republican candidate in 2028. It's peanuts. The reputational damage will fade in three years unless they are further persecuted or get caught yet again in the interim.

Yes it's a win for the president but it's not a big loss for CBS.
