I knew the old regime maddened me with all their insane rhetoric and virtue signaling, but I never knew how oppressed I felt until the day of deliverance! I am positively rejoicing!

I seldom read (Twi)X, but saw last night that a spontaneous army of jubilant intelligent people has swarmed into view. And are taking-to-the-cleaners the habitual pontifications of the furrowed-brow wrong-headed.

The Bonfire-of-the-Vicious tableau could serve as a miniature sparkling shadow-outline of the last chapter of the Book of Revelation. I had not before grasped the shared magnitude of mental-moral suffering caused by the crime, humiliation, and dishonesty forced down our muted throats.

The tears twinkle as they evaporate. And taste like the salt of the good earth.

Exactly. Trumps a master at marketing. He called it "liberation day" for a reason...because that's how it feels.

You can't argue with success or that he doesn't have his finger on the pulse.

Last night when I watched Trump sign the Jan 6 pardon and then stop his aide from moving on to the next doc, and instruct him to get the pardon order moving to the various prisons “now” so they could be released “tonight,” I almost started crying. Tears came to my eyes (even now they return). (I’m a hard-hearted bastard, and the last time I cried was at my sister’s 2005 funeral at Arlington.) The idea of mercy and intense personal concern from the sovereign is always moving.

Any organization that doesn't start evicting women like this from leadership positions is going to be increasingly irrelevant. I've had enough of this weakness masquerading as virtue, and have seen enough of where it leads.

That ship has sailed.

Average Sunday Attendance: 780K in 2007 vs 410K today. Every diocese in America has seen at least a 30% decline over that time period.

Baptized members: 2.3M in 2007 vs 1.5M today.

Vermont Farm Wife: you have company. Her diatribe is demeaning to every legal migrant who has come to this country and abides by its laws. She ought to have been applauding the folks who are here legally and work hard to contribute. They ARE citizens.

As one of those you’re referring to, I couldn’t agree more. I doubt anyone despises illegal immigration’s more than those of us who did it the right/legal way, brought education and other qualities of value to the table, and continue to value the unique attributes of the constitution and why it stands for.

The video reenforces my decision to quit the Episcopal church 30 years ago.

I was confirmed in the Episcopal Church - by the bishop of Washington. My mother was on the vestry at St. John's. The church left me a long time ago. Faith unmoored from reason and humility.

If we'd all done that at the beginning of the plandemic we would've brought it to a swift end, like our forefathers brought the British empire to its knees from the "war rooms" of Taverns.

It's staggering how little push back there is, this time around, to the Trump presidency. Of course there are law suits, inevitably, but the Left has no weapons against this move in the Culture Wars. No weapons at all. What do they have to promote? Open borders, men in women's sports and in women's prisons, promotion based upon race?

We are all so sick to death of that.

And now we can look forward to our friends around the world receiving the message. Just wait until AfD wins in Germany, and the equivalent wins in France and Italy.

Yes, well, sorry about that - I seldom find anything with which to disagree with you on but it is disturbing to say the very least, to see what is meant to be -stress here on "meant" - a Christian speaking from a pulpit and therefore even if vicariously, speaking out the Word of God and not using said pulpit as a political platform from which to spout a nonsense political agenda. If I were not actually living in such a time as this (to quote Scripture) I would not believe it- would you ? would anyone with even one sole brain cell ?

Has anyone asked them to expand on that purported threat? *How* exactly are their lives in danger? Because I believe statistics show "trans kids" are more likely to die after transitioning? Am I wrong? God bless these people; the irony is completely and utterly lost on them.

Transgender = bearing false witness.

I can pray for transgenders to be touched by the Lord and repent, but to encourage their lie is a sin. Same goes for the sicko adults encouraging this in children.

Even Portland was quiet yesterday. A little protesting during the weekend, but you could tell their hearts weren't in it.

Like the ones on the Mall in DC who had to change the name of the "Women's March" to the "People's March" due to lack of interest on the part of enough women. Their hearts weren't in it either, and the legacy media had to get very creative with camera angles to make it look like there were huge crowds

I think we'll probably get confirmation that some NGO or another was paying for protestors in 2020.

Don't underestimate the lack of funding for the protests. The Dems just grifted everything that wasn't bolted down during the last 3 months of that last election, there isn't a lot of free cheddar to be spread around to the Profesional Protestor Rats right now.

Canada is still in a rear-guard action up here; as Chris said we're in a performative-stasis mode where the panjandrums of the country still think and believe and act like it's 2020. It's stale, old, stupid and pointless, and the more Trump succeeds in what he wants to do, more and more Canadians will silently tell themselves, "I want *that*". I think once Trudeau finally slithers offstage the fever might finally break up here, especially if Poilievre is elected and actually grows a spine.

Sanity bats last.

The uber-rich, in L.A. ,are getting a hard dose of reality, and feeling the pain all at the same time...and all at the same place.

There's a reason all the tech moguls immediately kissed the ring. They've essentially built empires reading and anticipating changes in the zeitgeist.

It can only go on for so long when expectations do not comport with reality before people realize they're working against their own interests. Plus these people fear one thing more than anything:

Being the last to know something socially.

Its over. It's ending just how it began; slowly, then all at once.

You'll notice that the gnashing of teeth are coming from people that are no longer relevant and have no lasting influence.

It's a dead position. The movement is dead. And history will record it as parareligion with a cross between the tulip craze, the Salem witch trials, and a cargo cult.

I missed two things from a very long inauguration day yesterday\today, and that would be whatever that person is speaking, and the ball at the very end. Apparently I missed the worst and most indulgent parts of the day, and I am okay with it. I cannot fathom or decipher the fact that there is a dude in the White House who sat behind the Resolute desk: LIVE! From DC! fielding questions from a hostile press *while signing* the absolute destruction of the last four years of leftist hell in America. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen on television. It's that, or I have such a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome that I didn't think it could ever happen. Amazing day yesterday, I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did!

My 76 year old, Trump-phobic mother last night at dinner: "Trump took questions for several hours from reporters in the White House today. He just talked to them. I'd kind of forgotten that Presidents actually did that, but it was refreshing."

For me it had the sort of delight I always feel when I watch film of Charles deGaulle marching through just liberated Paris, in 1944. I don't think that's an inapt comparison.

It's POSSIBLE, but as an example, Chris Murphy posted about the 'bipartisan border bill' every day for MONTHS. And every single day he was 'corrected' about what that bill did and the fact the Senate was sitting on HR2. (Also that Congress need not be involved in the first place.)

Every single day he got ratioed into oblivion, but he was right back at it the next day. IMO, that's not stupidity, it's narrative control.

Expand full comment

"that's not stupidity, it's narrative control."

True. But I believe, or hope, that we're seeing the beginning of the end of the incessant narrative control efforts from our would be lords and masters.

The stupid component is evidenced by the continued, blatant, persistence shown by creatures like Mr. Murphy, who continued his efforts long after it was apparent that particular horse was, if not dead, at least in need of a cosmetic re-shoeing and new harness.

They're not going to give up. They can't! It is part of the core of what they are. The "struggle" is ALL to the Marxist. We can expect a (very) brief respite, and then - a new onslaught. Perhaps new tools, or new techniques, but the same old message, dressed up with a different hairdo and new clothes.

I’ve been arguing in my head with those crying about J6 pardons for the “violent ones” who fought with cops. Because I keep seeing a cop murder a woman that day and then make a call saying he needed help because shots had been fired. I just can’t reconcile it so I can’t put it behind me. Suggestions??

Note also that the shell of "Joe Biden," in his final hours as "president," commuted the sentence of Leonard Peltier, who murdered two FBI agents -- one with a final gunshot to the head as he was disabled on the ground. So the "how dare you pardon people who attacked cops" screeching we're going to hear for the next four years is going to be...ironic.
