Wars and Rumors of War

World War III will start with simultaneous Xi and Putin invasions, warns NATO chief Mark Rutte [More]

So… is MSN scaremongering for Western globalist warmongers or are they on to something? And if so, who among us is willing to expend their own blood and treasure on foreign entanglements to save countries that have willingly devolved into self-destructive tyrannies that ban dissenting speech and private arms?

Forget “Would you send a gun?

Would you send a son?

Did Someone Say ‘Mission Creep’?

Iran orders closure of Strait of Hormuz — putting one-fifth of world’s oil supply at risk [More]

And Trump promises more if they retaliate.

So much for “We’re just going to take out the nukes, honest.”

Did someone way “regime change“?

Let’s see, how do they retaliate?

We strike military targets. They target civilians.

Let’s see what happens to that “increasing appetite” when their people here start doing that. Speaking of which, file this under “WTF?”

I want the Constitution observed. Since this affects me and mine, I want my representatives to weigh in. Calling someone who agrees with that a “pathetic loser” is ad hominem, a logical fallacy. It does not speak well to position or character.

Oh, and I’d like to see the evidence.

Still, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge how we got to this point.

Come Now, and Let Us Reason Together

H.Con.Res. 38: Directing the President pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution to remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran… Prognosis
24% chance of being agreed to [More]

Seems to me ignoring the Constitutional delegation of the power to declare war to Congress has produced nothing but catastrophe since the end of WWII. If we’re going to risk WWIII, I want to have a say in it through my representatives.

It’s both amazing and depressing to see how knee-jerk hostile many self-identified MAGA types get on social media at the suggestion that we might just want to listen to the Founders on this. Ditto for some gun owners, who aren’t grokking a text, history, and tradition parallel…

I guess they’re ready for martial law, ration cards, and suspension of rights. Either that or they think it will always just be something we see on the news.

Very few seem to be asking “Cui bono?” or connecting dots to the “Deep State” Trump campaigned against.

Of Everything That Stands, the End

Because he spoke before he was inaugurated, giving him the power to act, Trump alerted the Deep State that he represented an existential threat to its survival. The bottom line is that the Deep State cannot afford for Trump to become president on January 20, 2025. [More]

You might want to play this in the background, just to set the mood for how insane it all is.

All that talk from Democrats about the peaceful transition of power and Joe Biden greeting him cordially is more than them just poking him for Jan. 6, it’s for plausible deniability. Add in domestic enemies embedded in the Secret Service, an assasination attempt where they left vulnerabilities anyone could exploit, and leaking his golf schedule for a second attempt, and there is nothing they won’t stop at.

Then follow that up with their manufactured external existential threat.

These are the most dangerous times we’ve ever lived through — so far.

Maybe we’ll get a chance to see just how smart the Founders were with the Second Amendment.

A Plan Comes Together

China’s New Export Restriction Choke Hold on Critical U.S. Ammunition Components, Are You Prepared? [More]

No, if course I’m not prepared. No one is prepared for the larger issue of critical material supplies that can be cut off at any time in the hands of those who want to eat us.

And that’s just the way the men behind the curtain want things.

There’s a Storm Coming

We are at War! What are We Going to DO? [More]

So posting memes and anonymous griping comments aren’t going to do the trick?

The only thing I don’t see is the local level American traitor political and enforcement collaborators, who will act at the direction of their new masters to convince the helpless, the unprepared, and the cowardly that surrender will buy survival. For just long enough to close the trap.

Who thinks the scenario envisioned here is over-the-top impossible? A ridiculous screen fantasy…?

Why?

And Ye Shall Hear of Wars and Rumors of Wars

Schumer Warns U.S. Troops Will Be Sent to Fight Russians if Border Bill Is Not Passed [More]

We could just try something else. How did Washington put it?

Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government. the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.

Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?

It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.

Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishments on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.

Or, we could ignore all that and listen to the same lying, oath-breaking whores who want our guns…

Critics lash out at Biden after attack kills 3 US service members in Jordan: ‘Hit Iran now’ [More]

But…but Lloyd said…

McConnell and Graham and Bill Kristol are champing at the bit.

Border security, not so much.

Who’s willing to die for this? Explain what “winning” looks like and what that will take.

Some of the Best Damn Gaslighting I’ve Ever Seen

Trump Will Lose 2024 Because Americans Worry ‘He’s Going to Start a World War,’ Biden’s Deputy Campaign Manager Says [More]

Hat’s off, man– the guy’s a pro.

His premise is so stunningly, hypocritically outrageous on so many fronts, and there is so much to unpack, that a typical response will be to sputter.

That the DSM is spreading this tells us so much…

And that Fulks makes a point of lauding Hillary Clinton at the time Bill’s Epstein connections are being revealed tells us more.
