1 I believe that the pendulum is now swinging back and picking up speed. I don’t think this is just a pause in the destruction.

2 SH - I'd like to believe that. What do you see that would indicate that is the case? To my eyes things look a lot more tenuous than that. But I would love to be proven wrong.

4 I'm beginning to think that Rubio is the best we have. And I'm surprised not to see more handwringing about his reference to our shared Christian culture. It was a Gates of Vienna speech.

5 Germany will extend its controversial border controls for another six months after turning 46,000 people away and seeing a drop in asylum applications

6 I believe that they’ve lost control in a way that I can’t see can be restored easily. The Somali corruption lead to the discovery of widespread general corruption in many states. That revelation can’t be undone. Now we will do another shutdown over the debt ceiling when we know that we would have no debt except for the stealing.

The ballots from Fulton have been seized. Half of the FBI/DOJ will work against charges and accountability, but Pandora’s box cannot be closed in regard to election cheating.

The Epstein box is opened. We know that they pulled kids teeth. We can’t unknow that.

Every possible Dem presidential candidate has been knocked out two years before the election season begins. The next president will be Republican. It may even be Trump. The pendulum will not arc back from this position. It will swing forward.

7 We know that they pulled kids teeth.

Perhaps implanted.

8 I agreee with Matt at #4. Rubio gave one heckuva speech at the Munich Security Conference. I know most people are thinking JD Vance but I'm beginning to think it could be Rubio in 2028. He said the kind of things that Trump says but in a manner that was far less abrasive and divisive. He doesn't stand at the podium quite as easily as Ronald Reagan but still he was quite impressive. The intellect was there.

Some of the people in that room, however, looked like they were troubled by Rubio's words. They have been very deeply entrenched for a very long time. In the end they gave him a standing ovation but I can't imagine them changing so easily.

9 Thanks for your response SH. It does lift my spirits some.

10 It is a battle that we must win. We will win unless we quit. It is confusing because we are fighting the entire establishment not just Democrats.
