KenPaxton is being Railroaded
Until we start doing this to them it will continue. We have never once responded to this sort of lawfare. Not once. They've done it all over the country and gotten away with it. But the RINO Reps are not unhappy to watch Conservatives be take out.
We have proseuctors of our own; why aren't they convening grand jury invesigations into liberal Democrats? x
Paxon is being Trumped.

This is what happens when you let them get away with fraud.
Katie Hobbs Vetoes Election Integrity Bills
So, Hobbs likely stole the Governorship and now will enshrine vote fraud into law.
This is a what Trump-hating has done. The GOP in Arizona is weak as water and let this happen because they didn't want a MAGA candidate to win.

Breaking now and huge... SCOTUS shuts down EPA on wetlands jurisdiction. EPA only has jurisdiction over wetlands obviously connected to waterways.

Tim adds:
This makes me breath a sigh of relief! Once I got stuck at my Ozark Hilton property in a pouring rain. Tires sunk in the mud. This left some tire ruts that were deep and fill with water when there is heavy rain. I feared the EPA would declare the Ozark Hilton a wetland and make me tear down my cabin.

The debt ceiling....All Congress is doing is saying there will be cuts in spending over the next ten years. So "give me a hamburger today for which I will gladly pay you next Tuesday". And two years from now a new Congress will change that. Fool me once. Biden gets the 1.7 trillion spending today. Inflation continues apace. The collision course with reality is coming on...so the show goes on. And both the Congress and Biden are in the kabuki show.
Money today is worth more than money in the future. Besides, the cuts will never come. We are running 33% in the hole every year. Only productivity could somewhat mitigate this. And the country is drowning in new regulations cutting productivity.
Not to mention a war cooked up in Ukraine to continue money laundering, and the cutting of oil and gas production in the country. We are screwed.
Tim adds:
It's like termites eating your home's infrastructure. You don't see them, the house looks as sturdy as ever. But one day there comes a storm and the whole house collapses.
That's where our economy is headed. We have hollowed it out with all this spending.

The Left is the existential threat to America. Dictator Xiden has funded a Leftist brainwashing cesspool, to declare we are terrorists. When is Mayorkas going to be impeached is my question.

I listen to Charlie Kirk, his organization in on the list (for example). There are about 38.8 million registered Republicans. With this sort of bullshit, how are we supposed to "unify" with Leftists?

Vaccinated children aged 12 to 17 face a heightened risk of myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, and a related condition called pericarditis, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) researchers found.
The number of myocarditis and pericarditis events in that age group met the threshold for a safety signal, the researchers reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association on May 22.

Companies are now getting boycotted for things like embracing LGBTQ by exposing young children to drag shows.
Then when they back off they get hammered by the cult activists.
One rule of cults is that you are required to embrace ALL the dogma. As I have recently pointed out, the cult's endorsement of medical atrocities on children may constitute something akin to a "gang initiation ritual" in which the recruit is required to make a human sacrifice to prove their loyalty to the gang.
It's the height of folly for corporations to join the cult. Yes the cult will be mad if a corporation doesn't join, but they will not only face a backlash from the sane community when they join, but they when they back off the more grotesque practices of the cult, they will face a lot bigger backlash from the cult than they would have if they had just stayed out to begin with.

In the key demographic (25-54) the audience numbers on Fox are down incredibly. Like two thirds in the 8 pm hour and about half in the Jesse, Hannity and Laura hours. Overall it looks like half their audience are gone. For firing Tucker.
Tim adds:
The purpose of Fox, the reason the Ruling Class didn't crush them, was that they offered a safety valve for the American People, a way to let us blow off steam. When we grew enraged we could turn on Fox and think that maybe things weren't all that bad. But now? Carlson did the unacceptable; he pointed out that the Ruling Class simply vetoed the American People when it our votes were inconvenient. That cannot be allowed. Fox was no longer acting as a safety valve but was instrumental in promoting anger at the elites and the corrupt system.
So they sacked Carlson and Bongino, to get back into the good graces of the real rulers of this country. Fox will never stray beyond certain constraints. They are tolerated as long as they color inside the lines. That is why Fox will never actually accomplish anything of value for America. It is a show channel, there precisely to promote the illusion that we have balance and that all voices are heard. They are not and now Fox has had to tip their hand. (BTW Remember when they fired Roger Ailes, who WAS conservative. He had to go to make Fox into the Royal Crown Cola of news networks.)

Nikki who?
Nikki Haley Rips DeSantis As An ‘Echo’ Of Trump In New Campaign Ad
What an arrogant snot. As if anyone cared about Nikki Haley.
Here's proof she's not worth our time:
"We’ll stand with our allies from Israel to Ukraine and stand up to our enemies in Iran and Russia,” said Haley. "Our moment is now, our mission is clear — let’s save our country and secure our future, and let’s move forward together toward our destiny in a strong and proud America.”
End
She clearly is making easy campaign statements. She doesn't understand the real peril the U.S. is in. To her it's just another political season.
What a fool.

Observations on the market. Dow dropped 300 points over night.
Bloomberg has a bs artist on (with a bow tie) saying that Florida and other states should follow California in its ESG management and investment because although Florida has a triple A rating they are paying 40 basis points for borrowing over California, who has actually quietly default on some bonds.
The bs artists says we all know that climate change is the biggest threat we face (NOT NOT NOT) and if Florida would just jump on board, the money brokers (in league with old Joe and pallid Yellen) would reward them with a pat on their head. Of course the ESG lending is a loser and California banks have shown that. But carry on gaslighting.
Liquidation out of the stock market. Liquidation to pay obligations, liquidation to live on, liquidation to move into cash. Liquidation to move capital off shore and out of the reach of the DC kleptocrats who will raise taxes in their next round of fleecing the working and middle class. Nothing like kicking people when they are down.

The reports coming out about the Indiana Jones movie are pretty depressing. A feeble old man hectored and bullied by a smug, insufferable woke bitch with a script written by the people fired by Elon Musk.
The thing about wokeness is that there is no creativity in it. It is the death of creativity, because to be woke is to have already killed all the parts of your brain where creativity lives.
If you are woke you have already spent years revelling in the death of independent thought. You have been trained and conditioned to repeat the same lies in the same tone, with the same sneer in the same places. It is an ideology which is built on the lack of ideas, rather than their presence. It’s a negating, an absence, a void, in everything from its conception of history to its means of expression.
When it approaches something like the Indy franchise, it knows what it wants to destroy. It knows it wants to make sneering references to toxic masculinity, and it knows it wants to show that men are not strong, but weak, not heroic, but laughable, not brave, but feeble, not explorers, but exploiters, not archaeologists,
It has no innate sense of joy pertaining to the things it believes, and
no respect for joy in anything it doesn’t believe. It’s humour is
solely the humour of a smug twelve year old snickering at an adult.
None of its own beliefs have any depth, but in its shallowness it
attacks all other beliefs with equal vigour. It doesn’t distinguish
between Aristotle, Newton or Darwin, or between them and the early
works of George Lucas or Steven Spielberg. It doesn’t give anything a
free pass for being a bit of fun, or for being a harmless and cherished
part of the nostalgia of others.
Indy doesn’t get a shred of
respect for bringing innocent joy for a few hours to kids and adults
for 40 odd years. He doesn’t even get any respect for punching Nazis,
which the franchise did quite a lot of. Of course he doesn’t. The woke
don’t offer that respect to the actual men who defeated Nazism.
Churchill is just another dead white imperialist, as guilty as Hitler.
Roosevelt threw away his disabled credits by being white and male.
Stalin is the only one they might admire, and they would admire him more if he’d worn a dress.
So of course the maleness of pulp heroes like Indy has to be destroyed,
even if that’s an unprofitable exercise for companies supposedly trying
to make a profit. And this occurs even after Top Gun: Maverick showed
them just how much more profitable it is to give the fans what they
love, in all its unashamed machismo. They could have easily portrayed
Indy as an old king, bloodied but unbowed, creaking but never breaking,
and that’s a story, that’s a type of myth, that men and women both love
because it says something about the fate that all of us face, and the
enemy that none can beat forever.
We all age, we all die, we all
face odds we cannot beat. But maybe we can beat them one more day, in
the twilight, touching immortality.
Phnar, phnar, says the woke
and empty mind. No, screw that myth. Tell them they are nothing. Tell
them their heroes, real and imagined, are nothing. Give them that
infuriating, adolescent, close minded laugh, the laugh of Mary Sue
getting everything without a battle, and without a thought.
Tim adds:
William Paley, 18th century philosopher, dismissed Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire as a mockery of Western culture "how do you refute a sneer?" Paley was right; you can't. Which is why modern woke leftists are so full of sneers; they then do not have to defend their positions. They hold a faith-based belief and not a logical position.
Back in the '60's a philosopher named Michael Dumett caught on big with the radicals. He was an "intuitionist" who admonished his followers to NOT make any sort of argument but rather to just sneer. Dumet's followers were impossible to debate, as you can imagine.
That's where we are at now. Sneers and intuitionism.
The whole point is, of course, to simply destroy, tear down, wreck and ruin everything. it is heterodoxy. These people think they can tear down the whol culture and replace it. They don't know or care that civilization is a carefully laid wall, made brick by brick, whose primary purpose is to constrain and guide human passions. We are animals and we will do terrible things if not constrained, either internally by our own discipline or eternally through the power of the sword. We used to understand the purpose of education was to teach children their own internal restraint on their passions. Now we are all about "letting it all hang out" and rely on external restraints, which are the weakest of all as they only work if the person out of control gets caught. And at the same time these same people are pushing to weaken external restraints.
So any throwback to the old order must be destroyed, and a man who represents the old order with it's self-control, it's masculine virtues of courage and strength and doing what is right in the face of evil - must go. The grand urination on Indiana Jones should come as no surprise; it's what they HAVE to do. Nothing good must remain unsullied. All virtue must die.
And the best way is to sneer and ridicule. As Saul Alinsky said, ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It's infuriating and it cannot be answered. The two together are the bedrock of he radical activist.
We need to turn the tables and do this to them. As Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese military philosopher, pointed out, you must seize that which the enemy holds dear. We need to start mocking their most cherished views. We need to go after the abortion fans, the transgendered activists, the rainbow flag types. There are ways to do this. Unfortunately our side is not comfortable making sport of others.
I remember when San Francisco started issuing marriage licenses to gay couples (prior to the SCOTUS ruling legalizing gay marriage). At the time I though Conservatives should go to city hall with, uh, unique partners. Dogs, cats, umbrellas, toaster ovens, blow up dolls, etc. Make a mockery of it. Even though the media would try not to cover it if the protesters there made enough of a row they would have no choice. Then the propaganda of smiling, happy couples getting "married" would be lost in the carnival atmosphere of people marrying their church choir or their sisters or whatnot.
That's how the Left would have done it.
At any rate, until we start going after then they will keep coming after the things we love and cherish. They read their Sun Tzu.
Oh, as for creativiy, he's so right. Despotism, whatever it's source, stifles human creativity. Everything has to be aimed at the political goals of those in power or seeking power. All thought must conform with the acceptable parameters. No thinking outside the box allowed! We've seen the way this works in societies throughout history. As tyranny spreads, be it from government or thought police, the end result is the same; the death of creativity and artistic expression. Socialists are especially prone to this as they demand conformity of thought itself. Conformity and obedience. So they repress any sort of happy emotions or good vibes as either seditionistic or at best unproductive. You may remember Pasterneck's Dr. Zhivago. Zhivago is hated by the Communists because he is not political. They see him as at best venial and possibly seditious. All thought must serve the State. Soviet art was almost non-existent, you may remember. It all had to serve the purposes of the Revolution. This is what is happening to American artistic expression today.

I wonder just what this "disruptive event" might be? The General Election in 2024, perhaps? It'll probably take that long for our Senators -- especially the Democrats -- to learn how to use the contraptions.Do our benevolent oligarchs know something we don’t know? Over fifty U.S. senators have reportedly been issued satellite phones just in case a "man-made” or natural disaster or "disruptive event” occurs and takes out part of the power grid. Purely precautionary and in no way ominous, I’m sure.
CBS News reported May 21 that over fifty senators now have satellite phones and the satellite airtime will be covered with federal funding (i.e. your tax dollars). A Department of Homeland Security (DHS)advisory explained, "Satellite mobile phones are handsets that use satellites to communicate with landline,cellular, or other satellite phones…Satellite mobile phones have been increasingly used by responders as a backup to land-based communications systems during natural disasters or man-made events.” So if these phones are frequently used in case of disasters, why would senators suddenly be needing them?
CBS claimed there are "growing concerns of security risks to members of Congress” following Jan. 6, 2021, (where many protestors were peaceful and non-threatening). But we know such alleged risks are often exaggerated by the media (at least when it comes to Democrats), Jan. 6 being a perfect example. Perhaps there’s a warning the American people should be getting right about now?
A less sinister interpretation could be that states with increasing dependence on "green” energy — which is toxic, inefficient, and unprofitable — are already having rolling blackouts and trouble with their grids (weather can also impact grids). Cell phones do, at least to some extent, depend on power grids. California and Texas are two states with blackout troubles. As the Biden administration pushes "green” energy and environmentalism, elites might be planning to exempt themselves from power grid issues the rest of us will have to deal with.
With China and Russia becoming more aggressive, however, speculations are inevitable. Let’s hope senators are just acquiring new convenient gadgets or being melodramatic about supposed "risks” to their safety, rather than preparing for a huge disaster. CBS:
Amid growing concerns of security risks to members of Congress, more than 50 senators have been issued satellite phones for emergency communication, people familiar with the measures told CBS News. The devices are part of a series of new security measures being offered to senators by the Senate Sergeant at Arms, who took over shortly after the assault on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The satellite phone technology has been offered to all 100 senators. CBS News has learned at least 50 have accepted the phones, which Senate administrative staff recommend senators keep in close proximity during their travels.
In testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee last month, Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson said satellite communication is being deployed "to ensure a redundant and secure means of communication during a disruptive event.”
