In today's article from The Federalist, the spotlight is on a critical issue: the violent Democrat-media industrial complex. It's clear that unity cannot be achieved with those who perpetuate violence and division. We must stand firm against this destructive force and uphold our values of truth, justice, and unity. Let’s come together as patriots and fight for a better America. #Unity #Truth #Justice #Patriotism #BetterAmerica https://lnkd.in/gEmTetjA

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." — James Baldwin. Silence is never neutral. It is complicity. It is the fertile ground where oppression roots itself and grows. Baldwin taught us that to resist is to live, to challenge is to love. Yet, resistance isn’t just about protest—it’s strategy. It’s the courage to disrupt, organize, and speak even when it’s uncomfortable. In the words of Audre Lorde, "Your silence will not protect you." The systems that oppress us thrive on quiet compliance, on the false comfort of looking away. We must dare to confront, to name the injustice, to insist that this world can be remade through collective action and imagination. Activism isn’t always grand. It’s the conversations you have with your family, the way you show up in your community, the risks you take for what’s right. Remember, the fight for justice is not a sprint—it’s a lifelong commitment to the truth. So, ask yourself: Where have I been silent? And how will I resist today? #JamesBaldwin #AudreLorde #RacialJustice #SpeakUp #Resistance #LiberationWork #EquityMatters #KeepGoing

Warning: politics ahead. AND an opportunity to practice #consciousness expansion. I've got to hand it to Jim Babka who can find grace points, even in the IFPOTUS appearance at the 2024 Libertarian Convention which, BTW, nominated an out male believer as its Presidential candidate. Here's the Gracearchy intro: "There's redundant commentary all over 'Streamville' and 'Podlandia' about Donald Trump's appearance at the Libertarian Convention this past weekend. But with his seasoned perspective and multi-decade experience, Jim Babka unravels and explores whether the exposure gained from Trump's visit was effectively utilized by the Libertarians. He also delves into the divisive "Thick-libertarian vs. Thin-libertarian" debate, showing how it's harmed the party and the movement. Then, he proposed four steps towards party restoration and effectiveness. Bill Protzmann describes Jim's independent voice as "the third party inside the third party." It's really an invitation to grace -- quite unique in politics. And you'll value these insights." https://lnkd.in/g2c8AZrd

In the grand political chess game, Hunter Biden emerges as the pawn who got pardoned by the king himself — but not without ruffling a few feathers on the judicial board. Judge Scarsi's scathing critique of President Biden’s written move shines a spotlight on the storyline where black knights and white knaves often swap colors under the fluorescent lights of public scrutiny. It seems this chapter marks another tick of the murky metronome that plays in Washington’s sprawling waltz. Even as Judge Scarsi signs Hunter's clemency with the ink of discontent, he throws shade like a disgruntled literary critic. President Biden, meanwhile, put forth a press release optimistically spun like a political seer’s prophecy which didn't quite pass through the courtroom unscathed. A pardon that proclaims relief. A pardon order served with a dish of judicial displeasure. Somewhere amidst these legal entanglements lies a symbolic sword, piercing the sanctity of what appears on the surface tableau of political harmony. Indeed, examining the tensile strain formed between fatherly clemency and the perception of justice embraces a paradox glaring as a magician’s elusive hand trick. Imagine it—the enchanted garden of American politics where the reconciliation cocktail of pardon bitters against the judge’s tart whisper holds tantalizing unpredictability with each new brew. But does the story deliver us clarity or foresight? Maybe it’s akin to the cosmic dance, an incongruous guise of order. We continue to wonder: - What’s up next in this endless quest for truth-tarnished indulgence? - How will voters digest this banquet of complex political hors d'oeuvre that toes the line between parody and reality? Peradventure, this veiled spectacle is a rehearsal for the next plot twist down nation's political catwalk. As asides about such episodes settle post-election, what's left behind could echo aspirations or echelons of eternal questioning. In the end, perhaps a bittersweet destiny reveals itself—not completely embracing or even dismissing—merely cataloging another chapter of intellectual immolation in daylight drama. - #HunterBiden #PoliticalChess #PresidentialPardon #JudicialCritique https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV

JD VANCE HAS SICKENING IDEAS FOR AMERICANS @0:30 "I think we have to go to war..." - JD Vance verbatim = JD Vance just DECLARED WAR on people without kids. It sounds like JD just puts his penis into things until he got a kid. whoops! That's not how you make babies, you sock puppet of a human. Now I know why Republicans are always trying to protect appliances. If their couch could talk, omg, the stories. WHAT IT MEANS TO DECLARE WAR (on our own people) @2:00 So he gets done explaining that these are, in his opinion, sad and lonely people. What does he want to do? Help them find happiness? Fuck no. WAR He wants to go to war against the sad and lonely people for being sad and lonely. So, if he's wrong (he is) he's a , but if he's right, he literally wants to go after people that are already in a bad place. He doesn't want to pull them up. He doesn't want to help. He wants to end them: WAR. Because sad people make happy people feel sad. So they should die in a war, started by our own government, against it's people. Why not help the American people instead of killing them JD? WAR = KILL = DEATH. HYPERBOLE MAGA get mad at me for saying these things. They blame me for increasing the temperature and accuse me of bias. RETORT: Simply, the words said by right wingers on a daily basis have become so extreme my reporting them verbatim sounds like I am being hyperbolic. MEANING: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. JD Vance, the white Yale bigot, is calling for WAR ON AMERICANS. I'm saying THAT is insane and UN-AMERICAN because it IS insane and Un-American. NO THANK YOU JD I'm calling for peace. Or at least for American politicians to stop attacking Americans. you see, over on this side we DEFEND Americans from people like JD. We don't let rich, white, landowning gentry, that want to take your rights (but not your fan and stove?) destroy US. JD and Trump and indeed the entire MAGA movement is about DIVIDING US. that is the only way fascism can win ever, anywhere. They are trying it here. No Thanks. This is The USA. We don't DO fascism here. We have and always will go to war against dictators and strongmen trying to destroy The USA. #fuckmaga #maga #trump #jd #nationalsecurity #war #fascism #dick #asshole #loser #pos
JD Vance Gets SHUT DOWN By Father of 5

The masks are off, the demagogue tyrant Trump and his minions unchained, and history shudders as it repeats. No longer scheming in the shadows, they now revel in the open, wielding lies as gospel, fear as fuel, and greed as their guiding creed. Once, corruption cloaked itself in civility—now it is flaunted as strength, paraded as power. Like the despots of old, they do not lead; they manipulate. They do not unify; they divide. Their authority is not built on wisdom or justice but on the brutal efficiency of deception, the spectacle of cruelty, and the relentless destruction of truth itself. What was once whispered in secrecy is now shouted with impunity, each act more brazen than the last, each transgression another signal that the old rules no longer apply. This is not just the rise of a tyrant; it is the calculated unraveling of society, the systematic erasure of reason, the slow, deliberate march toward subjugation. What begins as manufactured outrage becomes normalized oppression. And yet, the most insidious trick of the demagogue tyrant is making the people believe they are the ones who begged for their own chains.

#politics #unitedstates #nobelprize United States of America is big enough not to have to succumb to unsavory advances from those who wish to pay America with its own money for consorting with them, seeking payback and retribution. Wielding power wisely, both when you have its conventional manifestations, and when you are weak without them, in dignity and self-esteem is an art form. America has the spiritual power of its founding, and still the conventional economic and military fire power, more than any nation on Earth and in all of human history including Rome. Then why the self-inflicted loss of dignity in genuflection to our own vanity in a reflexive response to mere provocations from bullies akin to dogs who bark when an elephant walks the street in majesty? What matters is how you use and when, what power in your quiver full of arrows if you are an expert archer to take down even the most difficult of targets in the most dire circumstances with the eye of the bald eagle. America has neither allies nor enemies. Under any president, we must be respected and loved because we set an example of disinterested leadership which behooves our dignity, not feared and hated. Bill Clinton’s use of economic power by unilateralism failed. George W. Bush’s use of military power by unilateralism also failed. Barack Obama’s non-credible spiritual rhetoric not backed up by action failed. And we got Trump. What remains in the quiver is the most powerful, spiritual in deed which will speak when done, not speak without action, without walking the talk. It is time to reclaim moral high ground, as Abraham Lincoln did at Gettysburg when down not up, both at home and abroad in civil war, by going spiritual in a return to our beginnings to keep, not make again, America great.

This article is right on. Trump is a Fascist, with the likes of other Fascist learders who run other governments in the world. The trick to Fascist rule is that it is supported by the people who elect such learders. Americans are fascist too. Otherwise they would not continue to practice racism. Fascism and Racism and Sexism go hand in hand. They are all part of the same mentality. We deserve to take what we want... because you are too weak to defend what is yours. Well Canadians are not too weak to defend what is ours. We are not Americans and we have too much integrity to be Americans. We are Canadians... and you Trump will learn what it means to be a Canadian because we will resist and shore on. You are going to destroy America Trump. Canada will be there to watch 😁 https://lnkd.in/g-3k7Zqq

Foolish or Unbelievably Treasonous?{c} By +Dr. Jonathan, Founder & CEO It is unbelievable that Bidenomics was put forth as the way “to build back better” for All Americans when over 25 million illegals are being treated better than our veterans, have been flown on airlines without being vetted & gotten hotel accommodations, food, prepaid debit cards & special treatment over & above what legal citizens receive. How is this at all acceptable or good for a free Republic? Isn’t disobedience to our Declaration (opposing Life, Liberty & private property rights) & our Sacred Constitution itself proof of treason? What more proof of high treason is needed? {I concur with the Litany & preponderance of evidence that Biden’s by far the single worst president in history. He must be replaced now before he can do any further damage. Release the oral tapes of the entire Robert Hur investigation so that all Americans can see how incompetent Joe was & is}. +Demand to view the entire evidence to allow transparency for every American. +Bless Truth seekers/speakers/leaders, +Jonathan Z++, ACE & ADCE Council +Online: WinnersBeyondSuccess.com Ordained Priest, Evangelical Bishop & Anglican Archbishop AAP, APA & IAOEC International award winning author of 18+ business, executive & wellness books, 10 children’s stories in the series, “The Great est Gift of All,” & 200+articles read by 1.8+million CEOs, MDs, RNs, professors, presidents, business & wellness experts in the last year alone.
It's absolutely amazing to watch the Left pander to people of color and criticize the Right for their supposed prejudice, when the leader of the Democrat party is one of the biggest racists in the country.

ATTENTION TRUMPERS: Big, bad government overreach strikes again! Brace yourselves – they’ve dared to ban your sacred MAGA hats from polling places. Yes, that’s right, the same hats that stand for freedom and "making America great again" have been cruelly labeled as disruptive. I know, I know, it’s practically an attack on the First Amendment! (What’s next, are they going to confiscate your “Let’s Go Brandon” lawn flags?) But don’t let the hat-haters win. No MAGA hat? No problem! We have a brilliant new way for you to support the big man himself and make a statement. Here’s the plan: grab yourself a garbage bag – that’s right, a good ol' hefty black bag – cut a few armholes, and wear it proudly. Nothing says "I’m willing to stand up to the government" like a makeshift MAGA poncho. And there’s more. Grab yourself a BLOW POP – cherry, watermelon, or whatever flavor screams “patriotism” to you – and start sucking on it like you’re proving a point. Why, you ask? Because, folks, if there’s one thing our Fearless Leader has shown lately, it’s that he’s mastered the fine art of sucking. Whether it's a sincere effort to win over the mainstream or a misunderstood homage to a foreign leader, he’s demonstrated that he’s got the suction skills of a true American original. Let's show solidarity with that – one enthusiastic lick at a time. Mark your calendars for January 6th! Because nothing says "America First" like a garbage bag, a Blow Pop, and a group of people exercising their freedom to look like complete patriots. Be there, make your voices heard, and don’t let the system keep you from sucking for democracy
