OF THE
TIMES
"As the US increasingly resembles ancient Rome, being president is more and more dangerous. Something around 35 emperors met violent deaths, most from people in and around their courts. In other words, members of the Roman Deep State. An ugly situation is brewing in and around Washington DC." — Doug CaseyDon't kid yourself: Kamala Harris does not want to be President of the United States. She doesn't even want the ceremonial stuff, the incessant shuffling from one photo op to the next, the tedious Easter egg rolls, the prayer meetings, the turkey pardonings, the tiresome state banquets for men in strange headgear who are unfamiliar with using the fork and knife, and forbidden to sip chardonnay. . . .

OMG Confronts ActBlue on FEC Fraud: Retirees Unknowingly Listed for Massive Donations
@OKeefeMedia uncovered suspicious contributions listed on @actblue's website as small donations, which were then reported as tens of thousands more to the FEC. Retirees across the nation were unaware of these massive contributions allegedly coming from them.

When confronted, ActBlue staff refused to answer questions and threatened OMG with arrest.

Donors Across the U.S. Deny Massive ActBlue Donations Amid Attorney General Investigations
"He did not do $300,000 worth of anything in three years," exclaims Pam Fridrich, wife to Heinz Fridrich, when presented with FEC data by an OMG Citizen Journalist in Fernandina Beach, Florida, claiming the Fridrichs donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to ActBlue. When asked if they had made the contributions, Pam responds, "Not to my knowledge." The Fridrich family, overwhelmed by the allegations, remains perplexed by how such large sums could be attributed to them.
Across the country, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Elaina Bulow, a devout Democrat, is reportedly linked to around 830 donations totaling roughly $111,000. Bulow, who regularly monitors her bank statements, was outraged when presented with the FEC data, stating bluntly, "What's on that website is a lot of bullsh*t." Despite being a frequent donor, Bulow denies contributing anything close to the reported amount, saying, "Not that much... Not $111,000."
Similarly, Salt Lake City, Utah, resident Marilyn Shearer found her name tied to nearly 3,600 transactions totaling over $133,000. Shearer admits to donating regularly, stating, "I donate quite a bit, probably every day, which is frustrating." Despite her frequency in donating, she is stunned by the transactions attributed to her name. When questioned about the possibility of donating upwards of $100,000, Shearer shook her head no in disbelief.
The ActBlue donation legitimacy issue is escalating, with attorney generals from Texas, Wyoming, Missouri, Virginia, and two anonymous states launching investigations into the organization's questionable fundraising practices.
"The Athenian allies were making judgments based more on dim desire than on firm forethought, since humans are accustomed to hand over to unreflecting hope, what they long for, yet to thrust aside with autocratic reasoning, what they do not wish for."This human weakness of one-sided wishful thinking can partly explain the startling historical pattern that many powerful countries have been defeated by a seemingly weaker enemy despite their material superiority. Indeed, single battles and entire wars are often lost inside the heads of politicians, generals and their troops. As regards the "inner theater" of people, where they play an inner game, there is much scientific evidence that a combination of biases and fallacies tends to distort the thinking of actors in various walks of life, prompting them to make fatally wrong decisions. The above case of blind wishful thinking coupled with the rigorous rejection of counterarguments - a counterproductive task for which reason paradoxically is given the full power of an absolute sovereign - serves as one example of such distorted thinking.
The choice is clear. Yet investors and voters won't have that choice if Trump is killed.
- Trump wants lower taxes, less regulation, high tariffs to create high-paying U.S. jobs (a policy first advocated by Alexander Hamilton and later expanded by Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln), an end to wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, a strong national defense and reforms to the FBI and the intelligence community (IC).
- Harris wants higher taxes (including much higher capital gains taxes on stock profits), more regulations, open borders (which lowers average wages), a depleted defense posture, permanent wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, censorship of dissenting views (under the false label of "misinformation") and a continuation of the weaponized FBI and IC to wage war on domestic political opponents.
Comment: Israel has a particular hatred for Ireland for their support for Palestine. They actually came for the Irish peacekeepers first:
The Irish tell the IDF to pound sand:
Locally, the Irish peacekeepers are particularly cherished:
