All this and there is a "Entitlement Attitude" that they are entitled to Free Food, Free Education Housing, etc. BUT!! then turn around and complain that everything is out of control and expensive.

Nothing Is Free, and Somewhere, Someone is Paying the "BILL"

"Food Stamps", must be an Apply And Receive situation, as wherever I go from Grocery Stores to Convenience Stops, there is A "Food Stamps Card" (AKA, EBT Card" being used. The original intent was for "Basic" Food Necessities, and not Soda, Candy, and other treats. 🤔

The Food Stamp Act was signed into law in 1964 by Lyndon Johnson. Following seven months of Congressional hearings and negotiations, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law on August 14, 1935. The law created, the basic framework that guided the nation's public welfare system for sixty years.

Entitlement programs are not new.

Does Fear always trigger the same motivation response? If the world is on fire, some may not line up and give cash, they may grab a bucket of water, seek an extinguisher, or simply run away. Fear is a powerful emotion and excellent tool, I'm just not convinced it has a universal outcome. That amygdala trigger seems open to interpretation. My response to fear of the world on fire has been to run away to Montana and get as far away from urban areas. Giving money was never even a consideration. :)

Cheat someone and I think universally they are gonna be angry. Tell them they can't do something and they will tend to disprove your position by whatever means necessary.

My point is only that Trump will fight to the death, because he has been told he could not be President not only once, but three times now, and he was cheated all along the way. He will die on that hill proudly. His Ego will have its legacy.

What I was getting at, is fear is a universal motivator...not always in the direction intended by those doing the motivating. Trump will always be motivated by his ego...hunger and poverty are not really in his wheelhouse. That said, threatening his ego is the best way to start a fight with him.

The problem, as I see it, people seem fine to cheer him on, but who will do more than just vote? More people need to be motivated. How to do so is the real question I guess.

Things we may want to think about though...

*A Chechen living in Chicago, was shot and killed on the property of a USASOC Colonel last week. Another Chechen was in a car nearby. Both illegals, supposedly working for Utility One out of New Jersey. That company was founded by a Moldovan immigrant last December. He supposedly had been a dishwasher 3 years ago when he moved here.

That story is very interesting. I'm surprised there wasn't a thread on that here on RDP. They guy wasn't in a uniform, had no work ID, no tools, and was allegedly taking pictures. The Colonel had supposedly recently returned from Ukraine, where he was working as "an Advisor".

Hillary Clinton was not prosecuted for the Whitewater scandal due to insufficient evidence to prove criminal behavior beyond a reasonable doubt. Independent prosecutor Robert W. Ray concluded in 2000 that the evidence was not strong enough to secure a conviction. Additionally, while there were debates within the Independent Counsel’s office about charging her with false testimony in 1995, the decision was ultimately made not to indict her after she was interviewed under oath. The Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 did not result in the loss of any key documents related to the case.

Or the above AI search result could be b*******?

Peasants never get the full story.

I would be extremely surprised if the Whitewater investigation documents were in Oklahoma.

Allegations made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. I realize Regor thinks his mere words and memes are evidence. He is free to continue to believe that, but anyone with any critical thinking skills will likely not.

I’m too lazy to do my own search, and there’s far too many rumors bouncing around the internet to take anything at face value.

And, yes, AI is often wrong. A few days ago, ChatGpt told me that Joe Biden was a) not in the car when his wife was killed, and b) was injured in the accident. When I questioned that, it simply refused to answer me.

Whitewater Documents: The Criminal Case Against Hillary Clinton - Judicial Watch

The Castle Grande transactions were crimes’ Hillary Clinton ‘destroyed’ her personal records A case of ‘possible obstruction’ of justice Sources say redacted portions of memoranda contain a draft indictment of Mrs. Clinton Never-before-published prosecution memos from April 1998 say Clinton’s...
www.judicialwatch.org

The 1998 memoranda include substantial evidence depicting Clinton and her former Rose Law Firm partners—Hubbell, and Vincent Foster, both of whom went on to senior positions in the Bill Clinton presidency—as complicit in activities that “facilitated crimes.”

Page 18 of the OIC documents notes that Clinton “destroyed” her personal records of her work for Madison Guaranty. Page 39 of the documents notes:


It does look like the OKC connection is BS, but not the two-tiered justice system.

🤣 🤣 Your edit 🤣

No harm done.

I'm sorry I can't help myself. I appreciate everyone here allowing my occasional indulgence. I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but as most of you know, History is my passion, especially US History. Mr. Smith's passion is singing Christian music. I'm sure he has a great voice. However, he should stay in his lane. 🤣

And he knows EXACTLY what he's saying, so does that CIA mockingbird bitch who's facilitating the mechanism to do it.

I hope I'm around to see the justice served that they deserve.

I have this theory I borrow from the Toltec. It is a little bit too New Age for some, so please be patient with me.

It's called the Smokey Mirror, you can search it if interested. (Don Miguel Ruiz " Four Agreements")

It basically says you see yourself in the perception of others, but you can't truly see others for what they are due to them being slightly hidden.

What I mean by this is that when Eric Holder is making claims and laying out how Trump will weaponize the Justice department, he is really just conveying his own experiences. We see everything based on our own experiences.

Hopefully this is a less complex example:
If you think everyone is a cheat, chances are you yourself are a cheat and because you cheat others you anticipate others will cheat you.

Armed with this knowledge it helps me see people for who they are. There is zero doubt in my mind that Eric Holder just admitted to the course of actions he is accusing the Trump Administration of potentially carrying out. The only way to predict what someone will do is to use your personal experiences and imagine an outcome.

So Yes @BabyRay you are correct, I just provided a proposed theory that could be used as evidence to prove the point. @angiebaby makes me this way. LOL :)

Beside every good man...

Pretty cool to have a very impressively strong Inmate! teacher here who no doubt has made lifelong impression on her students. And still is, for all of us. A Baddass! History teacher at that..
We all (hopefully,) have had those Teachers who we admire, look up to, and made a big difference in our lives. Especially the ones we know who went to bat for us.

Tile trade from 1973. The hardest job was teaching full time at San Diego Job Corps.
3 mud tubs a day, 6-8 wheelies of mud, 250+ square feet of tile set per day every day is Cake.
No thinking involved. Muscle memory.

Teaching, was Gladiator School. But to your students, you get to be that Guy. Or Gal!
Dominate Teach!!

This is true, but what people need to realize is that the RINO's are on their team also and are simply controlled opposition, that continually fool the naive.

First order of business, take over the GOP and expose the whores for who they are. This is currently being accomplished, despite all the pearl clutching from the ignorant masses.

Second order of business, let it f'ing burn if they don't relinquish it, the complacent deserve it.

Are we in distress? No idea how you feel.

If you thought the inflation of the last few years was bad, get ready.

On June 9th, Biden and Blinken decided to allow the US status as the only currency for oil to end. Other countries needed to buy dollars to buy oil. So they sold us stuff at best prices to obtain what they wanted.

We had stopped making anything. Well, except bad culture and dollars. Now, no one is going to care to buy the dollars with their products. Good luck buying the stuff we need to import to continue to pretend its all good and groovy..

in short yes i feel we as a country are im distress. our court system is now being used politically (both sides), our elections are now questioned for legitimacy, the divisiveness, inflation, lack of any leadership, our reliance on the world and lack of independence, the indoctrination of our children, etc etc etc.

politically I don’t believe in either side as being “the answer” but i de believe we need to kick the pendulum to start swinging the other way or we are screwed.

While Trump was in office, He and MBS had a great relationship. He understood how important this was, despite both sides flaws. Biden comes in and decides that being friends with Iran and screaming about Kashoggi is more important. So shocker that MBS decided that continuing this special relationship was not necessarily in his best interest.

All Biden had to do is pretend that MBS was Hunter and say he had done nothing wrong, and continue the sanctions on Iran. If he was smart enough to understand what will happen to us when no one in the world needs dollars, he would have. But he and everyone around him are complete idiots.
