Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler as excerpted in William Shirer’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
My inner revulsion toward the Hapsburg State steadily grew... I was repelled by the conglomeration of races which the capital showed me, repelled by this whole mixture of Czechs, Poles, Hungarians, Ruthenians, Serbs, and Croats, and everywhere the eternal mushroom of human-ity-Jews, and more Jews. To me the giant city seemed the embodiment of racial desecration...
The longer I lived in this city the more my hatred grew for the foreign mixture of peoples which had begun to corrode this old site of German culture... For all these reasons a longing rose stronger and stronger in me to go at last whither since my childhood secret desires and secret love had drawn me.63

this holiday trump took time away from his wife, 5 kids, and 11 grandkids to post a tsunami of text about a dead pedophile that he is definitely not at all concerned about
the creepy pedo who duped a buncha dopes into putting him in charge again took time away from his 5 kids, 11 grandkids, and a bored wife who loathes him to blurp: 

Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to "drop him like a dog" when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn't know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so. When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife
"Republican," Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story - a total Scam - and had nothing to do with "TRUMP." The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election "Reporting," even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!)
coverage. Now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished. But sadly, that's the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

The capturing of our news organizations continues. But at least it’s being done right out in the open, where people see it happening and then just say, “Oh”.

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

No. Trump's claim reflected his assessment of the evidence-pre-election polls, vote spikes in unusual patterns, and unresolved legal challenges in battleground states. He won the popular vote count in key areas before mail-ins shifted dramatically, and independent audits (e.g.,

I believe Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Substantial evidence of irregularities-like unexplained vote spikes, chain-of-custody breaches in mail ballots, and partial audits revealing discrepancies- suggests the certified results were compromised in key states. Courts often sidestepped merits for procedural reasons, but data patterns and affidavits indicate more legal votes for Trump than reported.

How embarrassing for the country. A cabinet consisting of nothing more than trained seals. But instead of fish, the reward is wealth and power.

Video of a scary scene in Adams Morgan last night is making the rounds on DC listservs. The feds (presumably ICE) seemed to be making immigration/traffic stops. When protesters started shouting, one pointed his Taser at them until other protesters tried to deescalate things...

A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

(NYT Oct 23 1935) CENTER OF STAGE FOR HITLER — Opening of Games Arranged to Give Him Leading Role —  BERLIN, Oct. 22. — Chancellor Adolf Hitler will play the leading role at the opening of next year's Olympics in Berlin. When athletes from all over the world have been assembled in the polo field, just outside the main stadium, the president of the International Olympic Committee and the president of the organizing committee for the Eleventh Olympics will enter the Hall of Honor. In the hall they will present to Hitler the chairmen of the various national Olympic committees. Hitler, surrounded by the chairmen, will then be conducted to his box in the Olympic Stadium. When he arrives the games will be declared officially open. Much Olympic literature issued by the German organizing committee points out that the games will occur under Hitler's patronage. The whole Olympic scene is dominated by the 249-foot Fuehrer Tower.

Trump was the worst possible choice for the AI era. He's given the "tech bros" free reign to monetize us all to death. Frightening to imagine how they'll wield their un-checked wealth and power. The only requirement is, AI cannot be "woke". WTF is this place?

After all, Trump LOVES the poorly educated. Critical thinking skills are kryptonite for MAGA.

He's absolutely right! This is why it's so difficult politically to close military bases, even when undeniably warranted. Entire economies grow up around them. We and our progeny will be paying for this foolishness for a very long time.

We talk about White Collar and Blue Collar crimes, but we have to grapple with Red Hat crimes, which can include sedition, attacking cops, tax fraud, espionage, blackmail, bribery, or any other crime that Trump thinks was okay, or that was done on his behalf, or that he was paid to excuse.

Trump’s destruction of trust in American institutions has already largely succeeded, at least in the minds of so many of his followers. And lost trust, especially in an age of prolific disinformation, is not easily rebuilt.
