THE USUAL DEMOCRAT LIE: Trump called American service members "suckers” and "losers.”

THE TRUTH: Multiple Trump officials denied this ever happened and Trump yet Democrats continue to push the false claim.

Here is a list of everyone who denied it:

Zach Fuentes, former deputy to Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly:

"I did not hear POTUS call anyone losers when I told him about the weather. Honestly, do you think General Kelly would have stood by and let ANYONE call fallen Marines losers?"

John Bolton, former National Security Advisor:

"I didn't hear either of those comments or anything even resembling them. I was there at the point in time that morning when it was decided that he would not go Aisne-Marne cemetery. He decided not to do it because of John Kelly's recommendation. It was entirely a weather-related decision, and I thought the proper thing to do."

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former White House press secretary:

"The Atlantic story on Trump is total BS. I was actually there and one of the people part of the discussion - this never happened … I am disgusted by this false attack."

Hogan Gidley, former White House deputy press secretary:

"These are disgusting, grotesque, reprehensible lies. I was there in Paris and the President never said those things … These weak, pathetic, cowardly background ‘sources’ do not have the courage or decency to put their names to these false accusations because they know how completely ludicrous they are. It's sickening that they would hide in the shadows to knowingly try and hurt the morale of our great military simply for an attack on a political opponent."

Dan Scavino, White House deputy chief of staff for communications:

"I was with POTUS in France, with Sarah, and have been at his side throughout it all. Complete lies by ‘anonymous sources’ that were ‘dropped’ just as he begins to campaign (and surge). A disgraceful attempt to smear POTUS, 60 days before the Presidential Election! Disgusting!!"

Jordan Karem, former personal aide to President Trump:

"This is not even close to being factually accurate. Plain and simple, it just never happened."

Johnny DeStefano, former counselor to President Trump: "I was on this trip. The Atlantic bit is not true. Period."

Stephen Miller, former senior advisor to President Trump:

"[A] despicable lie ... The president deeply wanted to attend the memorial event in question and was deeply displeased by the bad weather call."

Derek Lyons, former staff secretary and counselor to President Trump:

"I was with the President the morning after the scheduled visit. He was extremely disappointed that arrangements could not be made to get him to the site, and that the trip had been cancelled."

Dan Walsh, former White House deputy chief of staff:

"I can attest to the fact that there was a bad weather call in France, and that the helicopters were unable to safely make the flight."

Jamie McCourt, former U.S. Ambassador to France and Monaco:

"In my presence, POTUS has NEVER denigrated any member of the U.S. military or anyone in service to our country. And he certainly did not that day, either. Let me add, he was devastated to not be able to go to the cemetery at Belleau Wood. In fact, the next day, he attended and spoke at the ceremony in Suresnes in the pouring rain."

Mick Mulvaney, former acting White House chief of staff:

"These claims are simply outrageous. I never heard the President disparage our war dead or wounded. In fact, the exact opposite is true. I was with him at the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion in Normandy. As we flew over the beaches by helicopter he was outwardly in awe of the accomplishments of the Allied Forces, and the sacrifices they paid."

Maj. Gen. Bill Maz, secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission:

"I was the host of the event discussed by the false and despicable article published in The Atlantic magazine on 3 September … when the President’s visit was appropriately canceled due to weather, I received word also that he was upset he would not be able to make the wreath-laying visit…"

Kamala And Mexican Government Are Colluding To Steal 2024 Election

Mexico plans to escort buses to the U.S. border to help Kamala steal the election via vote fraud.

And the backstroking Biden clone is negotiating passage through Mexico via an " asylum ap".

This is a crime, in violation of U.S. law. She should be impeached before the election.

Tim Walz got himself elected Governor of his state and then let the whole place burn down.

China wants to use Walz to do the same thing to USA.

Get Walz to be President then let all of USA burn down.

China cannot beat USA militarily but it can manipulate USA into turning itself over fully defeated to China, and it has software to do the job.

The software, based on modelling populations was developed in Vietnam by Simulmatics.

LBJ could not "sell" the Vietnam war. General Westmoreland was even worse. Every time the General spoke the war got a setback in the minds and support of the American voters. Westmoreland was telling obvious lies about our prospects for victory and the wider implications of the war in Vietnam. He was a lying hound. People saw it, and were rejecting the war in ever greater numbers.

So Simulmatics was called in to "sell" the idea that the war in Vietnam was necessary to the well being of USA and the American people. That company had already been used by both Nixon and Kennedy in 1960 to write speeches for them. In their debate, much of the argument was about who would be more aggressive in seeking democracy for Matsu and Quemoy (two islands off the coast of big China).

Nobody noticed the absurdity of the debate. It was generally assumed that the defense of Matsu and Quemoy was a worthy cause, and the focus was on the vigor and preparedness of Nixon compared the the knowledge and readiness of Kennedy.

Kennedy's speeches in that debate showed that he was the stronger and more adept of the candidates, so Kennedy beat Nixon and became President. About 1000 days later Kennedy was shot and killed and LBJ took over, bringing us the forever war in Vietnam, and the Great Society, which was an early version of the Obama/Biden/Harris/Walz nightmare dalliance with Socialism in USA.

Communism had been rejected in the 1930's after making it debut in US politics via Eugene Debs.

China knew that Socialism would weaken USA and make it an easy opponent to vanquish. So LBJ was installed, and did the job, like Walz is being installed to do the job again.

Americans are strong in their bombers and fighter jets, but weak in their minds and thinking skills. They are hard to beat in the sky, but easily beaten in the fields of rhetoric and political conduct. Americans have powerful gadgets but weak values and doctrine of social organization.

I've always marveled at the contradictions of the leftist mind.

Contemporary progressives/statists/communists (whatever you want to call them) have no ideological basis. They support things because they believe the will get something tangible from them - money, destruction of a competitive enemy, status, influence - something that accrues to their benefit.

They are extreme materialists. Reality may be flexible in their minds but the rewards they demand are always tangible, therefore, the solution to every problem is more - more money, more aid, more welfare, more preferential treatment.

Don't look for these people to believe in concepts like liberty or freedom, even though their best opportunities to achieve what they desire lies in them. They simply cannot conceive of any benefit that isn't defined by the use of coercive force for personal gain.

Fascism, the manipulation of corporations to do the will of the State, rather than act as fiduciary to their clientele—which is the check and balance inherent in capitalist structure—is what we now see percolating throughout the Democratic Party and its so called "progressives." Hitler after all was a huge admirer of the progressives of the early 20th century, particularly eugenicist and abortionist Margaret Sanger and her fascistic circle. The effort to suppress and control individual liberty globally is a resurrection of the Comintern. Communism was simply the Marxist utopian end state, and the Comintern the organization dedicated to its rise throughout the world, centrally controlled, over the long haul. We are now at the back of that long haul. The seizure of the US presidency and the elimination of all parliamentary or legislative power, and the transformation of the Congress into a Bolshevik-style lockstep servant of the Leader, is the Left's goal, now largely achieved.

It will probably be finally achieved by the sleights of hand of massive vote fraud. NGO's that are paid to flood the field with false ballots. The voter rolls are full of tagged IDs. There are millions of non-citizens on the voter rolls, pressed on at their local DMVs or other Hatch Act violations, by which the Democratic Party has pushed to fill the voter rolls with ID registrations, most of which will not be used by their owners, many of whom know that to do so would be illegal and get them personally into trouble. And half of American citizens do not bother to vote. This leaves all of these IDs on the state voter rolls available for massive fraud. This is how totalitarianism will unfold.

We will need to be prepared. Violence is altogether possible and is already manifesting in many parts of this State, that I believe was stolen by fraud in 2020, and that appears to be preparing to rig the upcoming 2024 election, just as Maduro has done in Venezuela, and Lula, via lawfare in a captured Brazilian judiciary, probably did recently in Brazil. With the active collusion of the US and other Western governments, which appear to desire totalitarian control.

Tim adds:

Agreed. The Communists had a slogan in the thirties "first Brown then Red" meaning that they saw fascism as the final stage before Communism. Fascism only became "right wing" after Hitler attacked the Russians. Until then it was rightly understood as the stepping stone for Marxism.

I consider Eric Weinstein's ominous warning very seriously although I hope he's wrong. Eric is a famous venture capitalist investor and economist with a Harvard PhD in Mathematics. Here's a quote from a recent podcast ( see link to entire podcast video). Weinstein doesn't think Trump will be allowed to become president. See the 4 minute clip just below. >>>>>

Economist Eric Weinstein says he doesn't know if Trump "will be allowed" to become president, says the goal of the World Order is to have two candidates who are both acceptable to them.

"Democracy was the illusion of choice..."

"You had two candidates that were both acceptable to the international order... We called that democracy. And so democracy was the illusion of choice. That's called magician's choice."

"Magician's choice in the primaries, and then you'd have the duopoly field, two candidates, either of which was acceptable, and you could actually afford to hold an election and the populace would vote."

"Donald Trump broke through the primary structure."

"They learned their lesson. You cannot afford to have candidates who are not acceptable to the international order."

Tim adds:

I agree; I've been saying that for four years now. When they stole the election from Trump in 2020 that was their final warning to him. They won't let him become President. He will meet with an untimely end, methinks. Nobody can be allowed to think they can get away with circumventing their power.

Our "democracy" is pure fiction, a choice between six and a dozen. In the end the Ruling Class has the game rigged.

Just saw an interview of a Trump supporter from San Diego ( California no less !) who spoke about the skyrocketing cost for rent and housing and why it is so.

This not just the product of the inflation you see in groceries, gasoline, and eating out.

In the case of the housing market, we are saddled with housing for 12 million illegal (ahem, "undocumented”) aliens surging across the border for the last three years. So they are crowding into whatever shelter they can find, with government largesse to provide housing for them. Lizzie Warren and her ilk blame "corporate greed” and "buying above asking price” (and what would Lizzie expect to happen ?)

Realtors are losing their rear ends on commercial properties. The financial districts in New York and other major cities are ghost towns.

So what have the realtors done ? They’ve shifted their focus to rental properties and the market is distorted to provide illegals with accommodations paid by taxpayer dollars.

Their usual unconstitutional tactics...

Wisconsin Court Thwarts Democratic Attempt To Limit Ballot Access for Third-Party Candidates

The Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected a Democratic National Committee operative's petition to remove the Green Party's presidential ticket from the state's ballot.

The DNC argued that the Green Party was disqualified because they have no members in state offices or legislature to nominate presidential electors.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein celebrated the decision as a win against the "Democratic Party's war on democracy and voter choice."

Critics view the DNC's efforts as an attempt to eliminate competition in swing states, where even small vote totals could be significant.

Famous podcaster, Lex Fridman who has over 4 million subscribers to his YouTube podcast, just interviewed Donald Trump.

There was nothing newsworthy except Trump was not his fiery self but was very composed and polite. In terms of news, nothing new for me except one thing I didn't know what Trump thought about this:

Trump said he will get the DOD to release all UFO footage they have. Good idea. I can't wait to see what they have been hiding.

Tim adds:

I think UFO's are experimental aircraft and security coverups. If the government lies to us about little things why wouldn't they lie about big ones?

ENLIGHTENMENT

Kammie is heartbroken over the price of everyday goods. Awwww. She’s gonna fix it. Here’s what’s REALLY going on.

Day 1 of the Harris/ Biden regime 2 major pipelines were shut down. When you raise the price of energy while also making it more scarce, EVERYTHING dependent on energy goes up in price. Try to think of everyday products that are NOT dependent on energy. ( Crickets )

When you print TRILLIONS of dollars to ‘stimulate’ the economy — which Harris/ Biden did — you DEVALUE existing dollars. Why? Because now there are more dollars chasing the same amount of goods (or less). That ALWAYS causes higher prices. It’s a hidden tax that affects lower & fixed income households the most.

Now… Harris is VP NOW. She can start to remedy the above problems NOW. She won’t — or can’t. But she doesn’t tell you that. She pretends she’ll change the existing policy which she also claims to have helped shape.

This woman is a zero. Her handlers are intent on making your lives worse to make you more dependent on THEM.

Repost Oscar L. Martin, LinkedIn
Deploying the (American) grid required by 2050 by solar and wind would take 140 years to build. But that is not the only problem. The wet dreams of solar and wind advocates are nothing less than delusional hallucination. The diagram below by Mother Jones (https://lnkd.in/gFVFSK_D) shows visually how the roadmap to net zero using intermittent renewables is a fantasy.

The problem of the massive land requirements, or the need for a backup grid to keep the lights on are still unsolved problems. But even without those issues, in the best scenario, it would take solar and wind 140 years to clean the American power grid.

A group of Princeton University academics released a report that estimated that, to reach net zero targets, the U.S. will need to increase its transmission capacity by 3.2 times its existing infrastructure by 2050. A more optimistic analysis by the pro-renewables National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) suggested that the U.S. could reach 90% renewable electricity with 'only' a twofold increase in its existing 240,000 miles of high-voltage power lines. Based on data from The C Three Group | Yes Energy, which tracks the growth of energy infrastructure, the U.S. high-voltage transmission system grew by about 1,700 miles per year between 2008 and 2021.

At this rate, it would take about 44 years to achieve the 2035 goals and about 140 years to reach the National Renewable Energy Laboratory requirements for 2050. And this is under the optimistic scenario.

Note that the additional land taken only by the new power lines required by solar and wind would be larger than the state of Pennsylvania, add the land required by new solar fields and wind blades imported from China.

Wind and solar have already exploited the easy opportunities where they did not need new power lines. The renewables industry is now facing the reality that future deployments will not be as fast and economical as before.

This challenges the assumption that wind and solar can reduce emissions faster than other clean technologies such as nuclear that do not depend on the slow, costly, and environmentally disruptive construction of long new power lines. Just replace coal plants with plug-in nuclear reactors, no need for additional power lines.

So when I go to a car dealership to buy a car. They write a contract for me to sign. The contract is for my car and not anything outside of my car. I am not obligated to pay for the raises of all car dealers, or pay for their country club memberships or the cost of their children's private schools.
Why then do "We the People", put up with contracts that are put up for vote by our Congress that throw everything and the kitchen sink into a budget, or stimulus bill???? Where did this practice come from??? Why is there no line by line vote for things in our budget? Why don't we have a balanced budget clause in our Constitution? Why don't we see a full print out of each Bill before it is voted on and who voted for it?Why do we allow Political payoffs to be added to our contract with America? After all these Entitled Elitists in Congress are supposed to be working for us, not for their own private interests!!!! Term limits and Budget reform are in our future or there will be no future for America!!!

Warner Todd Huston

I am seeing WAY too many Republicans all of a sudden attacking Trump over abortion and marijuana. Folks, if you are really surprised by any of this, you just haven't been paying attention.

On abortion he always said he wants it to be a state issue and without federal control. He has never been an anti-abortion absolutist. Never.

As to pot, he has never been super worried about pot, either. He is against cartels, certainly, but has never been overly active against pot.

Obviously, his recent statements on these two issues has been aimed at moderate voters.

But the point is, he has never been an absolutist on either pot or abortion. And if it is surprising you, you just haven't been paying attention.

Here, though, is the FACT... if you are suddenly all worried about voting for the one candidate who will give you most of what you want, you are allowing someone who won't give you ANY of what you want. to win

Opposing Trump is acting against your own supposed "principles."

Would I want pot wholly outlawed? Yes. Would I want abortion wholly outlawed? Yes. But we don't have a candidate who wants that. We have one that is mostly for restrictions of some sort and one who is 100% in favor of taking all the restrictions off -- not to mention destroying the country otherwise.

THAT is your choice.

Tim responds:

Cerulean thinking from you as always Warner!

There is none more pro-life than I but to go for the whole enchilada now is beyond stupid.

In point of fact the SCOTUS decision made it quite plain it's a states rights issue and any federal ban on abortion would likely be struck down as unconstitutional (and rightly so; the whole reason SCOTUS vacated Roe v. Wade was because ANY federal law on abortion cannot be constitutionally justified.)

Trump GAVE US the chance to defeat abortion at the state level in the first place. Had he not appointed Constitutionalist justices we would still be crushed under the heel of Roe.

We won a major victory; now is not the time to overreach. The American People aren't there yet.

I heard some moron say he wouldn't vote in the next election because Trump won't promise an abortion ban. That is beyond stupid. I would love to take a bullwhip to such idiocy.

The reality is the Left has won for a hundred years on multiple fronts because they will settle for half a loaf and then go for the rest later. We act as though not getting the whole loaf is somehow a defeat, and we attack those who took back that half loaf. Foolish.

I'm all for purity and taking a bold stand but not for fool-heartiness.

To win in politics one first must win elections. These dimwits seem to believe that is immaterial.

Trump is doing the right thing. Too bad so many on our side are falling for the trick of the Left/Democrats and eating him over it.

Selwyn Duke adds:

Correct, Warner. Look, I'm adamantly pro-life, and were I king, abortion would be illegal. But I'm not king. And as Otto von Bismarck put it, politics is "the art of the possible." It's not the art of "I get exactly what I want, right now, 100 percent, no questions asked." In politics, you take what you can. That means if the choice is half a loaf or no loaf, you accept the half a loaf. People need to put the emotion aside.

The President and our Congress act with injustice when they spend other peoples tax dollars to satisfy their desire to contribute to charity.
It is not the responsibility of government to keep Americans safe, educated and cared for. The government is responsible for the defense of our nation and upholding the Constitution!
The President and members of Congress can dig deep into their own pockets to dole out charity.
Let God’ s children carry the mantle to rescue the widows and orphans!

Tim adds:

Amen Greg!

A number of years ago Amity Shlaes wrote "the Forgotten Man" and restored the original meaning to that phrase. Roosevelt co-opted it to mean "the poor" but in fact it always had meant "those unwilling but forced to underwrite the poor."

I myself wrote about this concept years ago at American Thinker.

The reality is government "charity" is anything but, and it actually steals from those who seek to fulfill the mandate of God by forcibly removing money from the unwilling to give to those who may or may not deserve it.

To quote George Washington:

" Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force.” Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master". How can government "charity" be a good thing when a crime must be committed to perform said act in the first place? It's very presupposition is evil, that the State may forcibly take money from one man to give to another deemed more worthy by said State. And if the forgotten man says no they will kill him.

That is not charity. It is armed robbery.
