Mr. Trump Listened to the Wrong Advisors on Supreme Court Nominee Barrett

Recounts Attorney Robert Barnes,

"Before her nomination, I suggested that Amy Coney Barrett would not defend Trump or populist causes on a range of important topics. She would not help out in the election. She would not be a reliable vote on vaccines and related issues. She would not be a reliable voice on populist issues in general. I was accused of being a traitor. I was accused of having secret agendas. All that nonsense. Guess who the fourth vote was that was not there to take up the election cases--even the ones after the J6 issues to at least correct the next election? Amy Coney Barrett! Who is it that has refused to rule positively on any major vaccine issue for the most part? Amy Coney Barrett. Who is the one who did not join the majority on the election decision? Amy Coney Barrett."

Barnes further describes her decision to not adjudicate the Government/Big Tech censorship issue.

"She played Pontius Pilate. Washed her hands of the responsibility to adjudicate by citing "standing," telling the plaintiffs whose First Amendment rights were violated, that they had no standing to bring a suit."

If You Were the Devil...

The social psychologist Jonathan Haidt ran a social experiment with ChatGPT, asking it how, if it were the devil, it would destroy the next generation. Chat gave Haidt a brilliant Seven-Point plan. Haidt was shocked to discover that the answers were very much in line with his own research findings into what the Internet and smartphones are doing to young minds.

Two devilish quotes:

"In short: if I were the devil, I’d destroy the next generation not by terror or violence, but by distraction, disconnection, and slow erosion of meaning. They wouldn’t even notice, because it would feel like freedom and entertainment."

"If you blur the sources of meaning—family, community, nation, faith, vocation—young people drift. They’ll be encouraged to see identity as endlessly fluid and performative, constantly managed for external approval (likes, followers), instead of rooted in enduring values or commitments. This makes them malleable, anxious, and dependent on external validation."

Did the Children and Grandchildren of the Pilgrims Give Thanks?

“May not and ought not the children of these fathers rightly say: "Our fathers were Englishmen which came over this great ocean, and were ready to perish in this wilderness but they cried unto the Lord, and He heard their voice, and looked on their adversity, &c. Let them therefore praise the Lord, because He is good, and His mercies endure forever. Yea, let them which have been redeemed of the Lord, shew how He hath delivered them from the hand of the oppressor. When they wandered in the; desert wilderness out of the way, and found no city to dwell in, both hungry, and thirsty, their soul was overwhelmed in them. Let them confess before the Lord His loving kindness, and His wonderful works before the sons of men.”
― William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647

Why Would the President Spend $10m to War Against His Ally Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Political manipulation. To destroy her good name and get her out of congress. So she's pursuing peace by leaving.

"The American people have lost a rare voice that spoke for them.

"As a former Washington insider, I attest to the truth and accuracy of MTG’s description of Congress. Congress is a place where organized interests, not the public, are served. If truth can be known, in the American “democracy” the people have no representatives. Congress represents Israel, the military/security complex, Big Pharma . . . "
