Americans who think the U.S. will “liberate” Venezuela learned nothing since 9/11. Everything America touches it makes worse. In fact, Venezuelans were migrating before U.S. sanctions…but the sanctions turned the migration into overdrive … Right into our open borders. The U.S. is not a liberator. Even if the U.S. succeeds in installing a puppet… How do the natives take to be ruled by a U.S. puppet? With resistance. We’re still dealing with many of these cases. In fact, I’m sure most Americans have no idea how the Islamic leaders of Iran came to power. They overthrew the Shah who was a U.S. puppet. Over and over again. Same crap.

Speaker Johnson closed Congress EARLY for 41 days to avoid the Epstein vote ... Now that Massie has the 218 members to force an Epstein vote.... We're in a shutdown! I'm sure it's a coincidence. Massie will wait them out.

America can’t be a vassal state, and be great again.

Imagine, if you will… You have a friend who is addicted to drugs. You know it and he knows it. Your friend has a “strategy,” though. He’s going to increase his drug usage drastically to “grow his way,” out of his addiction. Immediately, you can’t believe your ears. “But you’re going to overdose and die.” Your friend responds: “It’s the only choice I have.” After much repeated effort in explaining how you can’t end up with good results by escalating the wrong actions, you convince your friend to change course. He commits to always decreasing his drug usage, never going backwards or increasing it again. As time goes on, with each passing day, and plenty of addicting thoughts to reject, the drug problem disappears…like magic. The story has a happy ending. Now let’s discuss the U.S. federal government that is addicted to inflation and counterfeiting dollars out of thin air. This counterfeiting addiction has led to the greatest debt accumulated in world history. It has led to endless war(s), 1000 foreign bases, a warped superiority complex of “exceptionalism,” and 50% of the population receiving some form of federal welfare. On the positive side (like the drug addict) enough American people realize that this is a fatal problem. In comes CANDIDATE Trump, who is elected on HUGE WAVE of support to reverse all of this….REVERSE! For a couple of weeks of PRESIDENT Trump actions were being taken to reverse it. It was one of the most incredible few weeks that this author has witnessed. But then, all of a sudden, like a person with a New Year’s resolution to go to the gym, but who only ends up going for a few weeks… Trump completely changed. Doing the right thing was over! A new “strategy” would take every well-meaning American by surprise. The new strategy would be to ACCELERATE all of the wrong actions. Wars and threats of wars all over the globe…a “Big Beautiful Bankruptcy Bill”…and counterfeit dollars like never before. This “strategy” of amplifying all of the wrong actions would go under the banner of “we’ll grow our way out.” And the mentality that drives this new strategy is (like the former drug addict)… “It’s the only choice we have.” “We HAVE TO counterfeit our way out!” This story will not have a happy ending. At least not for the American people

Criticism should always be against Israel the state (and America's financing and arming of that state). Criticizing "the Jews" is unfair to all the Jews (anywhere in the world) who don't want to be associated with the Israeli state's actions.

Why would CBS News need a pro-Israeli Zionist? It’s just a bunch of boomers who watch that crap anyway. Here’s why: Boomers hold 65% of the nation’s wealth. If America is going to fight (perpetually) for Israel… The Boomers will have to be brainwashed to support the war AND have their wealth (and grandkids) siphoned away to pay for it.

It's all one story. The infiltrated and compromised U.S. government... (since the 1960's when JFK was killed). The infiltrated and compromised Catholic Church... (since the 1960's and Vatican II). The dominos of these infiltrations need to fall. Or the story ends very badly.

The Empire of Lies is hoping that technology will be able to destroy the truth. But we must remember that the truth (which is Christ) conquered the world without bits, bytes and bandwidth. Every moment (of every day) God the Father receives the sacrifice of His Son in a Catholic Mass somewhere in the world. Not a second goes by, until the end of time. This wasn’t done by “artificial intelligence,” but real intelligence. The Empire of Lies is ultimately doomed.

Huckabee notifies us of America's "Declaration of Dependence."

It was never about saving the America people. But trying to save the dying Empire ... at the expense of the American people. Trump's Big Con.

Christians are called to follow and imitate Christ. We are to love what He loves *and* hate what He hates. Christ hates sin. So we must hate sin (our own sins, and the sins of others). Christ is merciful to repentant sinners ... Always separating the sins from the sinner. So Christians must hate genocide ... but not "the Jews" simply because they are Jews. We're all sinners. No exceptions.

The events in the Middle East and so-called “Christian” Zionism have to be theologically challenging for many people. It should be obvious that the actions in Gaza have NOTHING to do with Christ, His Actions, or anything that He ever taught. It’s the polar opposite. If you’re a Christian, don’t let bad theology ruin your quest for true theology. We are meant to be exposed to bad ideas in this life. We’re supposed to see the false in order to recognize the true. The key is to reject the false (the sooner the better) and to continue to search for the truth. As a Catholic, I believe that Catholic doctrine and dogma are the truth. Fortunately for me, the events in the Middle East have not been a theological challenge. It has always been as plain as day. But whichever way a person chooses to go theologically, it’s important not to stop going forward. Don’t give up on God because of human stupidity. God is a God of the heart. He knows our hearts and whether or not we are genuinely seeking Him. If we seek, we WILL find.

In our current government, it doesn't matter how many times you're right ... You're rewarded for being wrong, and for continuing to do wrong. If you're right and do what is right, you get (repeatedly) primaried. It really is an Empire of Lies.

1948 Israel did not create Western Civilization. 1948 Israel is not Ancient Israel. Hating the 1948 *state* of Israel's actions in Gaza is not hatred of Jews. MANY Jews hate the Israeli *state's* actions in Gaza.

The people that refuse to release the Epstein files are giving an outrageous and unbelievable explanation of what happened to Charlie Kirk? You’re kidding me.

The more that any of us become like Him, the more the world will seek to crucify us too. 2000 years ago. Today. 2000 years from now. To the end. And yet, we must constantly pick ourselves up and become like Him.

When Trump was campaigning, he was saying the words "Golden Age," and it was taken to mean more freedom and prosperity in America. Now as President, it turns out that the "Golden Age" is something quite different. It means growing government spending and debt, and creating more inflation by counterfeiting more dollars... Which is driving the gold price to new record highs. It's a "Golden Age" alright, but not one that anyone should want. What a shame.

The whole system is insolvent. The choice is cut the welfare state or the military empire. It should 100% be the military empire. Close the nearly 1,000 foreign bases and bring all the troops home. Nope. That stays...and will cost MORE! Dependent Americans will have to take the cut.

This is going around. But….This is business as usual. It’s what the Trump Administration has been doing in both of his administrations. Remember when MTG and Massie were complaining awhile back that all Congress is focused on is bills for Israel? Trump just recently bragged about how he’s the best for Israel…How he attacked Iran for Israel! It’s business as usual.
