Clown World: Burly Transvestite "Squeaky Saint Francis" Addresses Commiefornia School Board

Ceffer says

I foolishly used to think that legislators were supposed to be triage to make sure proposed laws were studied and screened whether they were Constitutional to begin with.
Clif High says that the average time for an unconstitutional law to be reversed by the courts is 18 months. That's 18 months that the psychopaths have to utilize an unconstitutional law to wreak havoc or destroy rights, with many lasting even longer.

Any legislator who knowingly votes for a law that is clearly unconstitutional on its face should be run out of office on a rail and hung. Yet, it is now embedded policy to pass unconstitutional laws and ride them for all they are worth.

I have thought this exact thought but never bothered to write it out. You did it much better than I would have. Excellent observation.

Preacher Ordered Not to Post Bible Verses Offending LGBTQ Crowd on Social Media for Five Years

A Tennessee street preacher is challenging an Oklahoma court order threatening him with arrest and potential prison time if, over the next five years, he posts Bible verses condemning homosexuality on social media.

Rich Penkoski is the leader of Warriors for Christ, an organization of street preachers that, among other things, attempts to combat the LGBTQ agenda. Its home page, for example, displays a map of the United States indicating “all establishments that have had events that target children for grooming.” One of those establishments is, of all things, a church in Oklahoma, and taking note of it is what has Penkoski in hot water.

Welcome To The Great Spiritual War Of Our Time

A pagan cult of communists, perverts & pedophiles is trying to replace the dominant religion of the West

If you’ve been paying even the slightest attention to the rapid decline of the United States in the last three years then you know that what you are witnessing is not just a political battle — not just a cultural conflict between conservatives and liberals if you prefer those terms — but a great spiritual war that now threatens the continued existence of western civilization itself.

The side of evil should now be obvious to everyone. The perverts, pedophiles, abortion fanatics, and Chinese communist party officials are all on the same grotesque side. It’s the side of the woke and the queer theorists.

It’s the side of the Democrat Party in America and the communist Left all around the world.

This is the axis of evil that I call the Rainbow Jihad.

The Rainbow Jihad is not trying to purify or improve Christianity. It’s a pagan cult that’s trying to replace the dominant religion of the West.

I'm not sure that i understand what you mean by "survive".

GNL says

I foolishly used to think that legislators were supposed to be triage to make sure proposed laws were studied and screened whether they were Constitutional to begin with.

I think they taught that in high school...along with the stock market was created to fund companies to increase production, employment and increase innovation. The also taught that a prosecutors job was to try and put criminals in jail. Also that the supreme court was not political and followed the letter of the law.

komputodo says

I'm not sure that i understand what you mean by "survive".

Apparently, I should have made it clearer when I posted this because this question has been asked before. I'll try to explain:

With all of the upheaval, economically, politically, socially, will America "survive" in a manner that is independent and vibrant. An illustration; a person has a severe stroke and yet he "survives." Is he the same person that he was prior to the debilitating stroke? Of course not, yet his survival in a sense is somewhat questionable.

America faces issues that, IMO, are insurmountable, making this nation far weaker than most people recognize. Just ONE example; our reserve currency status is being seriously challenged. If we lose that status, life in America is going to change dramatically for the worse. Obtaining credit will be far more difficult, and, expensive, and the Federal Government will no longer be able to provide handouts to the millions that are accustomed to living on free handouts. The result will be violence and chaos the like of which this nation has never seen.

With the millions of illegal immigrants crossing the border every year, will this challenge our survival as an orderly nation? Violent crime is increasing at an alarming rate, making it literally dangerous to venture into some of America's formerly 'great' cities. Is this the America that we know, or has it already changed into something that we don't even recognize ... similar to that stroke victim?

RayAmerica says

Will America Survive?

America did survive a Civil War, the gangster 1920s where Tommy Guns were routine, and then a Great Depression where 24% were unemployed.

This is the issue at hand. We have one of the worst leaders this country has ever seen. Might be the worst ever given the current global climate. And I know there were some bad ones in the 1800's and recent ones like Ford. And the second in line, Harris, is a complete imbecile. We look weak.

The next 18 months or so cannot happen fast enough. This chapter needs to be finished. Not promoting this, but I'd take Mitt Romney at this point over Joe Biden. That's how bad this is.

They're both puppets. Nothing will change with Mitt Romney. You might as well elect Hillary Clinton of John McCain, and I know McCain is dead - what difference does that make?

There wasn't a dime's worth of difference between Obama and Bush Jr, and there isn't a dimes worth of difference between Joe Biden and Obama. All that's difference is the presentation and the puppet on the screen. None of them set any policy at all. They sign bills shoved in front of them, and then provide excuses for what they signed by reading a teleprompter. George W. Bush, and Hillary Clinton were both accused of having earpieces during the debates - they did.

They are puppets. They make ZERO decisions. That's why competence doesn't matter, because competence doesn't matter.

I know Joe Biden ABSOLUTELY sucks

You know why we all these incompetent freaks in the Biden administration? It's because it doesn't matter a bit who is in the administration. They have no power, whatsoever. They make no decisions.

WookieMan says

Oh I believe that. He couldn't be worse, maybe he would be the same, because the CIA would come over and say "we killed Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and JFK Jr, we can kill you and your family too if you don't play ball and you better keep your mouth shut if you don't want a family member to have... an accident."

That's what is going on. If Al Gore was president in 2000, we'd still have gone to war with Iraq, it would have just been a different excuse "Oh, Saddam Hussein is about to cause a humanitarian crisis!". Haven't you noticed, when a democrat is president all wars are for "humanitarian reasons", when a republican is president all wars are "for national security". Both are complete lies.

(full article below)

On March 20, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. In his article in the Russian media preceding the meeting, XI enthused that “China-Russia trade exceeded 190 billion U.S. dollars last year, up by 116 percent from ten years ago.” Though it has reached 190 billion US dollars, it is no longer all being traded in US dollars. In his article in the Chinese media, Putin said that “the share of settlements in national currencies” of all that trade “is growing.” 65% of that massive China-Russia trade is now being conducting in their Russian and Chinese currencies.

Though the US sees Russia and China as the largest threats to its position in the world, it is not just America’s enemies that are fleeing the dollar. Its closest friends have hinted at it too. Following his meetings with XI in China, French President Emmanuel Macron likely stunned and angered the US by calling for Europe to reduce its dependency on the “extraterritoriality of the US dollar.”

These calls for a flight from the US dollar are not merely economic, they are geopolitical. They are calls to reshape the world order by challenging US hegemony and advocating multipolarity. The monopoly of the dollar has not just assured US wealth: it has assured US power. Most international trade is conducted in dollars, and most foreign exchange reserves are held in dollars. That dollar dominance has often allowed the US to dictate ideological alignment or to impose economic and political structural adjustments on other countries. It has also allowed the US to become the only country in the world that can effectively sanction its opponents. Emancipation from the hegemony of the dollar is emancipation from US hegemony. The flight from the US dollar is a mechanism for replacing the US led unipolar world with a multipolar world.

As the US has recently demonstrated in Cuba, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iran and Russia, the monopoly of the dollar allows it to be very powerfully and quickly weaponized. Countries’ funds can be held hostage, and countries can be coerced and starved into falling in line by sanctions. Recent demonstrations of that power have awoken many countries to their own vulnerability.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen recently said that “There is a risk when we use financial sanctions that are linked to the role of the dollar that over time it could undermine the hegemony of the dollar.” She explained that “Of course, it does create a desire on the part of China, of Russia, of Iran to find an alternative.”

And that’s just what it’s done. But Yellen is still missing the larger effect of US dollar warfare. It is not just China, Russia and Iran that are now seeking to escape the pressure. America’s enemies, but also its friends and everything in between, are considering taking flight from the dollar.

China and Russia are doing it. NATO ally France is calling for it for Europe. Nonaligned countries are also either talking about it or already doing it.

India is a growing economic power. And, like China, India has massively increased its trade with Russia. India and Russia have now begun discussions on a free trade agreement between India and the Russian led Eurasian Economic Commission. The two countries are now engaged in “advanced negotiations” for a new bilateral investment treaty. Russia has expressed interest in using “national currencies and currencies of friendly countries” for trade. India, too, “has been keen on” moving toward leaving the dollar behind by “increasing the use of its rupee currency for trade with Russia.” And India has recently begun purchasing some Russian oil in Russian rubles.

US dollar hegemony has also been threatened right in America’s backyard. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has proposed escaping dollar control by “creat[ing] a Latin American currency.” While in China for meetings with XI, Lula asked, “Who decided the dollar would be the [world’s] currency?” He then answered his own question. In March, Brazil and China escaped the US dollar by each assigning one of its banks to conduct their bilateral trade in the Brazilian real and the Chinese yuan.

Pakistan is now also trading with China in its own currency. Iran and Russia have taken flight from the dollar and are now settling trade in rials and rubles. They recently announced that they have circumvented the US financial system by linking their banking systems as an alternative to SWIFT for trading with each other. Saudi Arabia has said that it sees “no issues” in trading oil in currencies other than the US dollar. Robert Rabil, Professor of political science at Florida Atlantic University, says that the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Israel have all made some movement away from the US dollar.

The Eurasian Economic Union has agreed on “a phased transition” from settling trade in “foreign currency” to “settlements in rubles.”

Perhaps more surprisingly for the US was the decision at the March 30-31 meeting of the finance ministers and central bank governors of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to reduce reliance on the US dollar. ASEAN is made up of Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar and Brunei. The meeting produced a joint statement to “reinforce financial resilience . . . through the use of local currency.” But what must have been most unsettling for the US was the explanation given for the decision by Indonesian President Joko Widodo. Widodo said that the move is necessary to protect from “possible geopolitical repercussions.” What did he mean by that? “Be very careful,” he explained. “We must remember the sanctions imposed by the US on Russia.”

Yellen was right. Widodo said that US sanctions on Russia exposed just how vulnerable countries are if they rely on US dollars and US foreign payment systems. He said that using ASEAN’s Local Currency Transaction system to trade in local currencies would help address the need for Indonesia to prepare itself for the possibility that the US could similarly sanction it.

The EEU and ASEAN are not the only organizations mapping their flight from the US dollar. BRICS is a massive international organization whose primary purpose is to balance US hegemony in a new multipolar world. Comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, it represents 41% of the world’s population. BRICS, too, is talking about conducting trade in the currencies of its members or even in a new BRICS’ currency.

Lula recently suggested that “the BRICS bank have a currency to finance trade between Brazil and China, between Brazil and other BRICS countries” so that countries are not compelled “to chase after dollars to export, when they could be exporting in their own currencies.” Russian State Duma Deputy Chairman Alexander Babakov also recently said that BRICS is working on creating its own currency.

A BRICS currency could challenge the dollar beyond the borders of BRICS. “Because each member of the BRICS grouping is an economic heavyweight in its own region, countries around the world would likely be willing to do business” in the currency, suggested a report in the Financial Post.

One such region is Africa. In July, the Russia-Africa summit will be held in St. Petersburg. Olayinka Ajala, senior lecturer in Politics and International Relations at Leeds Beckett University and the author of “The Case for Neutrality: Understanding African Stances on the Russia-Ukraine Conflict,” told me in a recent correspondence that a “main focus of Russia and China at the moment is to get African countries to support the proposed BRICS currency.” He says that “this will be a major topic in the upcoming conference.” Ajala explains that “Africa is a consuming continent, meaning they import lots of goods and services.” He says that “with a population of over 1.2 billion, if Russia and China are able to convince African countries on the need to ditch the dollar, it will be a huge blow to the US.”

From Africa to Southeast Asia and Latin America, from Russia and China to India, Iran and Saudi Arabia, countries are mapping their course for a flight from the US dollar.

As a mechanism for transition from US hegemony to a multipolar world, the economic effects would be great, but the geopolitical effects could be even greater.

Title 42 Ends — The Invasion Begins

America is about to become a very different place than it was yesterday. The end of Title 42 has been downplayed by the Biden-Harris regime. It has been lambasted by Republicans, but even most of them are not giving this existential threat the attention it deserves.

The border crisis was already an absolute disaster before. Now, we’re about to see a humanitarian crisis that spills over into communities across the nation, decimating resources and forcing American citizens to make even tougher choices than we’ve already been forced to make recently.

Former Deputy Nat'l Security Adviser: FBI, CIA & DOJ Will Rig 2024 Election

Former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland, who served for the first four months of the Trump administration under Michael Flynn, says that the deep state is going to rig the 2024 US election following their success in 2020.

"We now have black-and-white evidence that the FBI interfered in the 2016 election. When they failed to elect Hillary Clinton, they set out to destroy the Trump administration," she told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo.

"Go back to 2020. This time, the CIA got involved in the election with those 51 former intel agents who said the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. So they've gotten away with it for two elections. They will surely try and get away with it in 2024, right?

Because there are no consequences...

"There is now hard evidence that there was election interference by the U.S. intelligence agencies and the Department of Justice. Those individuals must be terrified that a Republican president comes in with a Republican Attorney General, investigates them, and charges them with all of the crimes they have committed over the last eight years. Take it to the bank.

They will absolutely interfere in 2024...

These people are selling us out. Not only to foreign leaders, but they are interfering in our elections.

They are tearing up the Constitution... This is just a gut punch to the American people."

They've been doing this for at least 20 years. When we got lie into Iraq, when they got away with that, that was a big deal. They did 9/11, remember the suspicious stock trades, and the "5 dancing Israelis"? Remember the trucks that were filled with explosives? So much stuff swept under the rug. I remember seeing people being interviewed that said they were hearing explosions.

I appreciate they could have been mistaken, and incorrect, but I know about the 1996 WTC bombing, and that was definitely FBI helping that along.

Yes, they got to suppress very bad info that could have cost Biden the election especially since he barely won in key suburbs like Atlanta, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Detroit.

I know of the story but have never looked into it about the cows. Our neighbors 2 miles miles away, and I say neighbor because we all know each other, lost an entire barn of pigs. And yes the pigs too from a fire. It does happen. And no the fire didn't smell like bacon even though we could smell it. I think it was something like 300 pigs.

The animals and structures are insured. 20k cows was likely intentional as that's a shit load of beef and would raise price nominally for a bit. The animals and structure were insured so will get their money back.

We had one building burn in real estate. Still fixable, but was pretty bad. No one was hurt. We got rent from State Farm for 9 months on three vacant unit as we cleaned it up. I just helped with the management end. No ownership stake. I question the cause of the fire to this day, but no one was hurt and water under the bridge at this point. It was in Chicago and the local news affiliate choppers covered as morning new. I saw it and was like eh pretty standard stuff for Chicago. Get a call 30 minutes later get your ass over here now. I was a dick and said I'll be there when I can, I'm not a fire fighter dude.

Basically it was a huge windfall of insurance money. Likely was for the factory cow farmer and remaining cows got sold for a higher price. The wealthiest people all have some investment or ownership in insurance companies. It's a license to print money.

That's said I don't think it was sabotage by the government here or anywhere. There are so many more targets that could cause more problems here than a cow farm.

on a long enough timeline everything dies, just hope it’s not while we are still around.

WookieMan says

"That's said I don't think it was sabotage by the government here or anywhere. There are so many more targets that could cause more problems here than a cow farm."

My take is that this was another attack on the American food supply and we had thus far multiple incidents of massive deaths of chickens and farm animals.

In this case we are going to have more expensive milk and beef!

Back to the fire. They couldn't open the barn doors to let the cattle out?

Answer: They could but they didn't because we now have a beef and milk shortage! Goal accomplished!

No different than the egg shortage which reminds: Are they done killing chickens?

The_Deplorable says

Attack from who? 20k cattle is a lot, but we have an abundance of them. AND we don't need beef to survive, most people just like it.

The chicken thing I don't understand. We get free eggs from friends. Must be a Midwest thing. I'd say a good 20% of people in my area have chickens and enough eggs for themselves so they sell or give them away to friends. Probably different in urban areas. There literally zero shortage of eggs in rural areas. Prices are fine as well.

We buy half or whole cows so our prices are different, same with pork. And I haven't noticed a difference in market prices. Jobs are a thing, but if you can get out of urban areas life is completely different. That includes large suburban areas where everyone goes to Whole Foods or Trader Joes for shit food.

A dose of White Pill: Compared to the Black Death, Mongol Invasions, Ottoman Invasions, etc. our situation relatively is a fly on an Elephant's ass.

HeadSet says

When the pendulum swings back, it will be a battering ram. Bud Light and Target are just the start.

This may very well be a set up, allow me to briefly explain. I read a book a long time ago entitled "Before the Deluge:
A Portrait of Berlin in the 1920s" The book is very descriptive regarding the complex political issues facing the Weimar Republic, along with the cultural world of Germany's capitol Berlin. Berlin was the center for the then very popular Cabarets, which specialized in transvestites performing lewdly on stage. It basically epitomized how far the German moral state had fallen. Along with the general collapse of morality, the government of the Weimar Republic was demonstrably inept, revealed by the fact that Germany had fragmented into 32 political parties. With such a lack of confidence in the federal government, talk of the need for a "strong man" to restore Germany to its former greatness became increasingly prevalent.

Could it be that all of this manufactured chaos is being done in order to provide America with an excuse to have its own "strong man," that will "temporarily" take away freedoms and liberties, such as Hitler did in 1933 via the Enabling Act?

I wish I could remember where I read this; the writer made the case for America's dictator coming from the conservative side as a strong armed response to all the chaos created by the left. I think this scenario is highly plausible. Let's not forget that it was a supposed conservative Administration that ushered in the freedom killing Patriot Act in response to the highly dubious 9/11 attacks.
