"We are trained to make sober, rational decisions."

HAHAHAHA

They are trained to kiss up and kick down and the closest any of these parasites get to anything remotely "rational" is that they know that selling their souls to Que Mala and the DNC means they'll get to warm the same seat till retirement, get that full pension and maybe a Board seat or cable-news talking-head gig or "think tank" appointment (where they'll also know that they one thing they must never do is THINK), and that the kids' dental and college bills will get paid...

"That is how we know Vice President Harris would make an excellent Commander-in-Chief"...

How is someone who's never once been excellent at anything suddenly going to become excellent at the world's toughest job? Please name one excellent thing she's ever done in her life! What is excellent about Que Mala besides her PR and all the people who obediently regurgitate propaganda on her behalf?

This is what happens when lies and malfeasance not only go unpunished but rewarded. No one lost a job or a cent for the many lies of Russiagate (they even won Pulitzers!), no one lost a job or a cent lying about Hunter's laptop being "Russian disinformation", and thus we are stuck with a Deep State that meddles in national elections and a totally corrupt and unaccountable elite who might just install a cackling non-entity somehow more incoherent than her senile boss as the next puppet Prez.

Hey what do you expect Chris , even inside a hospital, the pillars of medical ethics were continually violated… all deeds went rewarded and then some , as these avarice stricken leaders of the medical staff counted the body bags in the morgue.

I think the gorilla in the room is that Trump can not capitalize on the obvious:

Every time these dummies speak on behest of their ventriloquist masters (MSM Overlords) about how such and such members of The Blob endorse Kamalablob, Trump should point out these are EXACTLY the people we are "voting" against....and tell them why we are voting against them.

At least that's one of the main reasons I'm voting for him...as well as a large portion of people that are going to give him their bid.

He's missed that opportunity dozens of times.

I agree. Trump likes to energize his base. What would be more effective on reaching the swing voters would be to say, “Look you’re hearing a lot of scary stuff about the dangers of a Trump presidency when the country has actually experienced a Trump presidency 4 years ago. Not only that but we’ve also experienced a Biden/Harris presidency over the past 3 and a half years. It’s all recent stuff! You can compare the two administrations yourself and demand the media do so as well. Here’s what I think you should be worrying about going forward. Look what’s happening to free speech in Brazil, Europe, England, Canada and Australia. Do we want to get swept up in the sort of authoritarianism where people can be fined or jailed for posting something the government defines as “hate speech” or “misinformation”? Worse yet, do you want to live in a country where prosecutors target citizens for their political beliefs and powerful government institutions put their thumbs on the scale in favor of their preferred political party? …. site examples.. FBI suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story etc.

Team Kamala is tossing softballs to the Trump campaign. Everything she (vaguely) claims to support: A strong middle class, a chance to get ahead, attacking price gouging, $25K for a house, etc., etc., etc., should be met with the following response(s): 1- Why not implement it now?, 2- Why haven't you done it in the last 3.5 years?

Expand full comment

Like you, I want to see Trump and his campaign put this in perspective and embarrass the media:

"Oh, Kamala got the endorsement of nearly 750 national security folks? Gee, I wonder why? It wouldn't have anything to do with the nature of their jobs, a preference for conflict, or the billions of dollars that go to war efforts, would it? And our media has no questions. No skepticism. Their powers of analysis and penchant for challenging questions suddenly take a siesta. It's just full-on endorsement of the recommendation of national security officials -- with their spotless reputation and the immense power they have over our lives."

Somewhere on our road to societal collapse, we seem to have decided to jettison any pretense of sanity. Half of the population of the formerly free world are no longer willing, or perhaps able, to look up from their little screens, to set aside their 'bread and circuses', to acknowledge reality.

Andy, in my small conservative AZ town, signs are popping up everywhere that say…

“If you want no King,

Vote Democrat.”

Other than very poor phrasing, the logic seems to link Trump to a royalty complex. And yet the royally elite Dems want to control what we say, what we think, what we eat, etc. I don’t think that garbage will fly here but I admit, I am praying for our country pretty often these days.

Expand full comment

It’s not surprising that in Tuscon hispanic Trump supporters were targeted and injured (most likely by Dems) for ‘abandoning the cause.’ When I saw photos of some southern AZ dem candidates, some of the women had that same haughty stare that looks right at home in various troikas or Cuba. Marxist brain rot is thick there.

their main power is to make you think other people are dumb enough to vote for them

Expand full comment

Clearly they bank on the severe dumbing down of voters, which they achieved in recent years with all the psyops and censorship. The pathetic part is, all 741 of those fools believe what's in the letter. These are not *leaders*. These are lifetime government workers dedicated to preserving their place in life - all the rest of us be damned.

They believe it, or they believe it's to their advantage to convince themselves to believe it, in which case they "believe" it.

Expand full comment

You guys are right. They are already beyond the ability to seek truth because they are content with current worldview that's been neatly shrink-wrappped, by their overlords, and fed to them like comfort food.

"The general public is being reduced to a state where people not only are unable to find out about the truth, but also become unable to search for the truth because they are satisfied with deception and trickery that have determined their convictions, satisfied with a fictitious reality created by design through the abuse of language."

- Joseph Piper

That Piper quote reminds me of this:

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

Chris, you Miranda Devine or I or someone needs to cross-check names of the Dirty 51 to the Filthy 741. Significant commonality would tell a tale on these people.

Expand full comment

It's not easy to believe that all 741 are that stupid, so yes, they must think it advantageous. Not all of the 80 million voters who will support her election are that stupid, but are willing to go along because, for example: abortion is the only thing that matters, the environment is the only thing that matters, having a black/woman in the White House is the only thing that matters, or the catch-all, keeping Trump out of the White House is the only thing that matters. National security, the economy, illegal immigration, free speech, the middle class, mean next to nothing to all 80,000,741 of them.

Expand full comment

Some of these people must be smart enough to realize that the social and demographic changes forced by the government since at least the mid-1960s have damaged the country to the point where recovery is impossible, and the only thing they can do is to grift as much as they can before the system implodes.

"...but at least now you understand why I drink."

I am known to imbibe a few more than my fair share of adult beverages and prefer Tito's vodka (from Texas) or Blue Ice vodka (from Idaho) or a few different Highland whiskies that are distilled by people who are very distantly related to my family. At my father's 80th birthday party on Sunday, my TDS suffering brother accused me of drinking vodka because I was inspired by Trump's Russian supporters. I laughed, because I thought he was joking, but was shocked when I saw that he was dead serious. Apparently, vodka is only for Russian sympathizers and a rather extensive Scotish Highland Whisky catalog in my home bar is just cover for my Putin-loving.

I'm starting to get worried about who the Left turns their hate machine on to next. The Dems have driven people insane and insane people have a tendency to do some really crazy, disturbing things.

I am currently becoming very intimate with a bold and luscious product of Islay, a week after attending an event with the Laphroaig "brand ambassador," who wore a kilt and burned a big chunk of Islay peat in a bar so we could smell it.

And I strongly suspect the hate machine is tearing itself apart.

At the very least, the hate machine is starting to resemble an unbalanced washing machine that’s spinning itself across the laundry room floor, making incredibly irritating noises…

Ahhh.. Islay.. the place my whisky taste buds call home. I spent a lovely four days there two summers ago traversing the Three Distilleries Pathway .. Laphroaig, Lagavullin and Ardbeg.. in that order. I can’t recommend it enough… and by the way Chris, you are fighting the good fight and I appreciate you for it. Slainte!

My wife is big into long distance running and we have some Brit ultrarunning friends who are drunks like me and we had been planning to do a couple of self-made Whisky Marathons in Scotland in 2020. One on Islay, the other around the River Spey. I'm sure we'll get to it in the next couple of years.

I was with a group of musician friends — we gather a few times a year to jam — and the topic of foreign languages came up when we discovered several of us were playing around with Duolingo. When it was my turn and I mentioned I was learning to speak Russian, there were audible gasps. I was flabbergasted. These people have known me for years. They know my political views. Yet a simple interest in a different culture and literature were assumed to be evidence of some nefarious Putin loving.

I started chuckling at the word “security “ in the headline. ( My twisted brain thought immediately of bungled security in attempted assassinations.) The more I read the more hilarious this gratuitous tactic as a campaign strategy appears. The louder they shout, this group of swamp monsters, the tighter they tie the knot linking them to the near catastrophic declines in all the fields they represent. In the end, as political strategy, it’s really 741 reminders of how deep the water in the swamp really is. And with at least 2/3rds of the country wanting out of the Russia war, Zelensky reminds us all that Kamala will keep feeding the corrupt war machine largesse he enjoys, and then, he makes himself look like an idiot by publicly tying himself to a political party which may not be in power much longer…good luck on that one!

Chris, another brilliant take on our current and continuing insanity. I’m sorry the experience upset your stomach. Please wipe your chin.

While you were regurgitating, I was busy slapping myself, trying to wake myself up from the never ending nightmare this election has become. Of course, I’m already awake, and I thought, these absurd 741 clowns, trained in sober thought (is that a class you can take? Sober thinking 101?), another in a line of absurdities, that we see through easily, and yet a huge swath of our population nods in agreement with these clowns.

Someday, I’d like to know how the elite state brainwashed so many people. Incredible.

I guess the first step to sober intelligence thinking is to be unburdened by what has been (i.e., by all your past stupid mistakes). In the AI Kamala video that's gone viral, AI Kamala explains that "by what has been, I mean Joe Biden."

Listening to ATW guys describe the https://www.nsl4a.org, a brand new official group of security experts also known as rabid warmongers. They are screaming OUT LOUD from the highest mountaintop that we are gunning for war. Everywhere. Everything. All at once. It bounces off the deaf ears of the hypnotized half of the country with dreams of niceness and equitable fairness and constitutions that include the bill of rights of niceness and fairness and some forms of bodily autonomy.

take a look at their website. It's lunatic. these are 741 supposed "gravitas"-filled men of statesmanship, diplomacy and war but only as a last resort to defend virtue.

The website is pure lunacy.

I fear you are to be stuck for a while in this world of lunatic nonsense you write of, that I live in; I expect you to sign off every article with "I need to vomit", or "excuse me while I take 48 hours to bash my head against the bricks until it bleeds, and I can heal it a bit, to return to write something".

Well said. While the letter is a testament to the absurdity of our current fake and gay government, the question is how much of an impact will this latest flavor of disinformation in the ongoing color revolution have?

I had a conversation just this evening that anyone who I find in my circle of family and friends who actually admits to, and does not ask for forgiveness for, voting for the Kackeling Komrade Harris, will be excommunicated from any and all future interactions. I can't risk catching whatever virally transmitted malignant tumor they have become infected with. Or if they are just that stupid, or that sociopathic, they have no business around me, ever.

"We are trained to make sober, rational decisions." I maintain that no one is ever really astonished, but I think bemusement is common. How can these dolts, whom almost everyone knows are responsible for most of the disasters and incipient disasters which have assailed our military in the last twenty years, think that this will sway votes for Kammy and Tiananmen Tim?
