bookmark_borderAmerica to start building monuments to heroes and heroines again?
Donald Trump posted the following yesterday on Truth social:
America is going to start building monuments to our great heroes and heroines again!!! DJT
12/10/24 at 10:58 a.m.

This is an encouraging sentiment to hear. Hopefully we start with the heroes and heroines whose monuments were unjustly torn down.
bookmark_borderWise words from Cenk Uygur
I recently saw an interesting quote from Cenk Uygur, host of the radio show “The Young Turks”:
“I’ve been trying to figure out why I’m more optimistic now than I was before the election, even though I was so against the guy who won. I know now. MAGA is not my mortal enemy (and neither is the extreme left). My mortal enemy is the establishment. And they have been defeated!”
Source: Fox News
I feel the exact same way. I consider the establishment to be my enemy, even more than those on the far left. I tend to hold what would be considered far-right positions on most issues, but I feel more warmly towards people who hold far-left positions than I do towards people who hold wishy-washy, moderate positions with no real ideological principles behind them (in other words, the establishment). My opinion of Cenk Uygur has definitely improved after reading this quote. I seem to have a kindred spirit from the opposite side of the political spectrum. Perhaps the far left and the far right have more in common than most people realize.
bookmark_borderTrump to pardon unjustly convicted Capitol protesters
According to Yahoo News, president-elect Trump is planning to pardon people who were unjustly charged and convicted for the crime of participating in a protest whose message the establishment disagrees with. This is fantastic news, as it is appalling that these people were charged with crimes in the first place (or criticized in any way, for that matter). And even better, Trump plans to jail members of the committee that decided to treat a protest that they disagree with, as somehow meriting investigation.
Yahoo’s headline is a bit confusing, as there is no such thing as “Capitol rioters.”
The headline, of course, ought to read “Trump vows to pardon Capitol protesters and jail Jan. 6 committee members.”
Notwithstanding Yahoo’s defamatory and inaccurate headline, this is good news indeed.

Another cool Trump update: he and other world leaders attended the beautiful ceremony for the re-opening of the Notre Dame cathedral after it was severely damaged in a fire in 2019:

He also greeted some U.S. marines who are stationed in France as part of his visit:

bookmark_borderWise words from Charlamagne tha God
“I just want Democrats to stop acting like they are on this moral high ground politically when they have shown us that they’re not.”
View this post on Instagram
Bingo. One of the most angering things about those on the left-hand side of the political spectrum is their stuck-up, sneering, condescending, and contemptuous attitudes. In other words, their belief that they hold the moral high ground. As radio host Charlamagne tha God points out, they most certainly do not.
bookmark_border“When you voted for Trump…”
“When you voted for Trump, you voted to put Tulsi Gabbard, a Russian asset, in charge of our nation’s intelligence. That’s what you voted for. Congratulations.”
So reads an idiotic tweet by former congressman Joe Walsh. (His handle is @WalshFreedom, which is ironic because he appears to advocate exclusively for government policies that take away people’s freedom.)

This response by @EndTribaliam is 100% correct. Walsh’s claim that Gabbard is a “Russian asset” is misinformation (a better term in my opinion would be false information, or simply a lie). Walsh is, indeed, spreading misinformation, and he is, indeed, either a scumbag or an idiot (or both).
But more importantly: even if Gabbard is a Russian asset… who cares?
Voting for the Harris / Walz ticket meant voting for people to be forced to undergo medical procedures against their will, voting for historical figures to be obliterated from existence, and voting for everything that makes life worth living to be destroyed.
Is all of this somehow supposed to be preferable to having a Russian asset in charge of our nation’s intelligence? Because it isn’t. Putting a Russian asset in charge of intelligence is a tiny, minute, insignificant problem compared to the things listed above.
For four and a half years, I’ve endured a living hell in which statues have been viciously torn down and destroyed for the “crime” of representing unpopular historical figures, people barred from public life for the “crime” of declining medical intervention, and hundreds of people tracked down by the FBI and arrested for the “crime” of participating in a protest for an unpopular cause. The fact that Walsh considers a Russian asset to be a bigger problem than all of this demonstrates both his moral bankruptcy and his lack of empathy.
Let’s have a country in which everything even remotely beautiful or good has been deliberately destroyed, in which every public space has been redesigned to ensure that people who are different from the norm feel excluded, in which people are forced to undergo medical procedures against their will and arrested if they dare to voice dissent…. but at least a Russian asset isn’t in charge of intelligence.
Sounds great.
Not.
“That’s what you voted for. Congratulations.”
Yes, we voted for people’s fundamental rights to be protected, for historical figures to have a chance of receiving some semblance of justice, and for a possibility that life might actually be worth living.
I’m not sure why Walsh considers this a bad thing.
bookmark_borderTrump statement on legal victory
Donald Trump recently prevailed over the criminal cases brought against him by tyrannical, bigoted prosecutors. Here’s his statement on the good news:
“These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought. Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME. Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before. They have also used State Prosecutors and District Attorneys, such as Fani Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade (who had absolutely zero experience in cases such as this, but was paid MILLIONS, enough for them to take numerous trips and cruises around the globe!), Letitia James, who inappropriately, unethically, and probably illegally, campaigned on “GETTING TRUMP” in order to win Political Office, and Alvin Bragg, who himself never wanted to bring this case against me, but was forced to do so by the Justice Department and the Democrat Party. It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
(source here)
Trump did indeed persevere against all odds, and won. That is an inspirational thing indeed.
Ben Carson also said it perfectly:
“While I am pleased each time I see one of President Trump’s cases dismissed, I can’t help but reflect on the dark stain these last few years have left on our nation’s reputation and integrity. The lawfare, lies, deception, and collusion have caused irreparable damage to many of our institutions. It’s perhaps the greatest act of desperation in the history of American politics, yet it was soundly rejected by We the People. I pray the American people will remember this when the left inevitably tries it again and that we ALWAYS choose liberty over tyranny.”

bookmark_borderDespicable New York Times “fact check” re: RFK
The New York Times wrote the following ridiculous paragraph in an article about Robert F. Kennedy:
“Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label.”
The Times claims that the ingredient list is roughly the same, while in the very same sentence listing four substantial differences in the ingredient list.
It’s like Mary Lincoln telling someone that she mostly enjoyed watching “Our American Cousin,” except for the minor detail of her husband being shot in the head by John Wilkes Booth.
How can the Times not see that it is directly contradicting itself in a single sentence?
“But he was wrong,” the Times pompously boasts. Not seeing the fact that they are proving Kennedy right with their very next sentence, in which they list the artificial ingredients in Froot Loops.
As Brad Cohn points out: “As you see, the ingredient list is just completely identical, except the US product contains formaldehyde, cyanide, and nearly undetectable levels of saxitoxin.”
The New York Times is pathetic, both for their contemptuous tone and for their complete lack of logic.
