2026.01.20 Daily Thread: The World According To Trade(Bait)

We start the day with Philippians 3:18:

“Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.” (NKJV)

Sound familiar? Yup, the same now as it was 2000 years ago.

Them Versus US(A)

I interrupt our self induced panic attacks with BREAKING NEWS!!! that came out Sunday on X. If you have not seen it, you need to.

Tried to paste in the text, but because of links it would not work correctly. So you will need X or another source.

I recommend reading it all, but in summary; election security is well underway, the steal ran through Serbia and VE as we have long suspected and been told, they have the evidence, related VE officials/engineers gave testimony and are in government protection, the courts have been a slog but headed in the right direction, and you will need lots and lots of 🍿.

Never lose sight of the big picture despite all the focus of fear porn purveyors with the negativity. Yes, be vigilant and keep the pressure on elected officials. Just do not despair over what has not happened yet. As a recent example, Don Lemon and his merry band of rabble rousers in blue, beta, AWFL Minneapolis is not the norm across America. The left has been reduced to little games and empty talk.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming. The situation…

Chi-com/Soros paid, organized protestors comprised of nasty derelicts, thugs and do nothings who refuse to work in real jobs doing things that are truly valued in American society as well as to improve their own miserable lives; go about their insanity with the enemy fake news media providing the cover and pushing it along. The seditionists are then extolled as virtuous citizens doing their patriotic duty by Democrat politicians and leaders who take cash from the same commie (and other anti-American foreign powers) operatives and NGOs who plunder the national treasury in doing so.

Until Elon/DOGE. Until Bessent/Treasury. Until Rubio/State Department. Until Hegseth/Military. Until Noem/Homan/DHS. Well, actually, until the entire PDT admin took over. We the People want all of the anti-American scumbags to hit the proverbial brick wall pronto. What will actually happen is different in the real world. That makes it frustrating. But if we believe, “Nothing can stop what is coming.”; we should accept that a grand plan is being executed that will prove big time beneficial along the way as well as in the end. If there is not one, why has PDT won on every major issue or crisis since his return? Just lucky? 😂

As an example, who in their right minds worships at the altars of illegals, LBGTQ+, drag queens, pedophiles and George Floyd? The correct answer is nobody in their right minds. So the beta males of the left have no problem with militant white Karens – AWFLS – doing the job of being the idiot margin attacking federal officers. As a result you know Democrat politicians and related funders of same who incite their criminality are insane and/or manipulators of the mentally ill for personal gain. That should tell you to believe nothing they say or their seditionist media cronies report.

Never forget that ALL media, even the alleged MAGA supporting media, depends upon eyes for income. Real and imagined chaos are good for business.

The only real question left to answer is how many of “them” are there? What are we up against, exactly? How many people have fallen victim to the indoctrination and brainwashing of commie clowns, Chi-coms, nazi fascists, perverts and such with the help of the media and entertainment industry over the years? The media desperately wants you to believe it is the majority or at least half of the American population. The polls say…

I have the current estimated number at 20% certifiable lunatic with about another 20% easily manipulated to believe the left’s lunacy. Nothing specifically tells me that other than observation of people around me, the more legit polls as well as the losing margin of Dems in actual elections in the growing number of red and swing states. I also have that overall number in decline with the removal of illegals, slowing of drug trafficking, and arrests/imprisonment of domestic criminals. Contributing to the decline is open disclosure of billions in fraud in blue states with much more exposure to come. Combine that with major positive economic news and cash in the pockets of a growing number of We the People households.

That puts the cheat factor at about 15% to swing otherwise reasonably close elections in the direction of the lunatics. Harmeet Dhillon and patriots have been hard at work on that.

The swing is the largest segent of Independent voters, of which the large majority are pro America and families. Many of them hate Dems and are equally pizzed at RINO GOP. A minority segment of the others have been easily swayed by BS in the past. As an example, many of them voted for Mr. Hope and Change in the first term. Then shit happened and they began to wisen up. All the election steal did with Brandon was confirm their suspicions as it has all played out in the years afterward. They learn from bad experiences, not their own due diligence. So the patriots had to allow some of it for them to feel it. You hear it in their conversations about our world. Which has pushed my observation that somewhere between 60 – 65% of actual voting American public strongly want the path on which PDT has steered us.

That means deporting and arresting the illegals and other assorted criminals involved in election steals to insure continued victories for We the People. All of them, not just the criminals. It also means we have to endure the Kabuki theater of politicians and other assorted wackos while it is underway.

It is getting easier to predict the demise of the Democrat Party as a legitimate enemy force because less and less people are going to willingly vote to cut their own throats or act against law enforcement in their daily lives for some commie and Soros $$$. The Dems, and as a result the RINO’s, literally have nothing left to run on other than Trump hate and pro criminals. That will not put gas in the tank, food on the table, or protect their children as legitimate Constitution based law and order is reintroduced into the American way of life.

Fortunately, we have a POTUS who understands all of that and dedicates his every day to winning for America. A strong, dominant America lifts all boats who align with her as the majority of world leaders know. Those who deceive, corrupt, steal and murder all hate #47 with a passion. That would include not only the left in America, but the commies and the Crown who are interconnected. They call him terrible names, lie about him, plot his murder as well as urge others to take violent actions against his supporters, attack his policies and so on. Doesn’t matter. After being falsely charged, booked, shot at, and wounded he stares them down and keep conducting the America First MAGA train down the track with the full support of We the People. He has our backs, we have his.

Heads down, eyes on the prize.

We just need to continue to take our cues, help and educate where we can, vote and bring others with us. That does not mean we have to agree with everything. However, it does mean we need to do our own due diligence before casting stones and stop parroting the opinions of others as our own, such as from fake news and pundits of every sort. Nobody that is truly on the growing America First MAGA side buys that BS anymore and our number is increasing rapidly. Remember where the battle “action” is currently. The battles are being waged in the enemy’s camp and territory because we are on offense now. Keep your perspective.

The rats are on the run. Let’s finish them off. Stand together. Remember – WWG1WGA. Wear your “QAnon Conpiracist” label proudly. Meanwhile, get the jackhammers and chisels ready for Mount Rushmore.

Memphis Music Corner

I bring you this one because Memphis represents what American cities and urban areas can become now that America First rules.

I am happy folks will get to enjoy the music scene similar to the videos I link below on and around Beale Street in Memphis again now that the thugs and illegals are being removed. To explain what is happening, the following has been my favorite quote. It came from a leftist media rag in the city. “I’ve Never Seen So Many Police Cars!” was its opening quote. I did not link it because it is stupid drivel, but It caused me to laugh hysterically at their paranoia and fear.

👍 🤣 🍿 🇺🇸

That quote sounds like the title to a great blues song on Beale Street, though.

See the links below for current clean up stats,

https://www.usmarshals.gov/news/press-release/memphis-safe-task-force-significant-arrests-jan-15-39-criminal-arrests-4-illegal

However, this one made my heart flutter a bit. 😀

https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/twenty-military-lawyers-assigned-to-memphis-u-s-attorneys-office-says/article_77ebb61b-aa94-44df-93e9-2d9db8777b33.html

Over 1700 federal agency officers to go with local and state law enforcement have already hit the city and surrounding burbs hard. Over 5000 arrests so far and now there are 20 JAG’s to assist the Memphis Safe Task Force.

The Democrat Memphis city mayor actually likes what is going on. I guess he got tired of Vice Lords and rival gangs to go with the illegals setting up shop and controlling the city. The Democrat county mayor doesn’t like it. My guess with him is that his wallet took a hit and that he lives in an unaffected burb. The law abiding citizens are loving and celebrating it. Even the legal hispanic population is laying low and afraid. Since some have been harboring the invaders that is probably a good idea. The city should be a model for the rest of the country after being a drug and murder infested crime capital for decades. That tends to happen where Democrats and their cronies accumulate. Once Marsha steps into the governor’s office after the election later this year, she will continue the Trump agenda throughout the state. I would imagine that Nashville and Davidson County are on deck for more law enforcement activity as a result.

I am going to briefly revisit the national importance. This Memphis policing activity is a total disruption of the drug and human trafficking as well as the money laundering pipeline from New Orleans and Houston to Chitcago and other blue shizholes in that region that has been going on for over a century. Which makes it an elections clean up at the same time. There are less illegal bodies and criminals to throw at fake ID’s with more FIB presence in the election system. Hopefully, they are patriot FIB doing the roles. Since the US. Marshals are leading the charge, I suspect they are.

If you really want to know what Illinois Fatty and his dimwitted conman mayor are so upset about, it is that. The major Federal led clean up like in Memphis is also underway in New Orleans and is planned for St. Louis. The latter was flooded with a larger FIB presence months ago in preparation for future events.

Memphis and St. Louis are the distribution centers and at strategic points between Chitcago and the Gulf of America. Their “product” can go east/west from those two points. With the patriots killing the flow from the gulf, Memphis and St. Louis are diminishing as only land routes have access. It helps that both states are strongly in the red MAGA column. So cars, trucking and railroads become the primary carriers. Trucking remains the big dog for land trafficking. Now, what was it they are doing about those CDL’s of illegals again?

😂

All of it has been killing the business of the drug lords in Memphis and the union thugs in St. Louis. Now Chitcago has to depend primarily on northern routes through Canada and neighboring blue states. I probably do not need to post the Carney/Xi photo here for you to get the picture of their connection and intentions courtesy of the Crown.

Who called out that drug trafficking was also coming from the north after they nabbed Maduro? Who will be renegotiating a bilateral trade pact to finish killing the USMCA? That should provide some context about what PDT has been saying about and planning to do with Canada. Alberta will likely be the first domino to fall around mid-year.

😂

Bidness is not good for the left, uniparty and the now, old New World Order. Dey big time mad. There is so much for America First and MAGA to enjoy and celebrate. But it could be better. About those perp walks, Blondi…

It feels good to most Memphians who now go most anywhere they want without fear of getting carjacked, robbed, attacked, murdered or raped. The American delta cultural heritage of the city is once again going on display after decades of deterioration. To finish this off today, let’s celebrate Beale Street from back in the day along with its potentially glorious return! Afterwards we can stroll down the alley to Charlie Vergos’ Rendezvous for some of their famous smoked barbecue ribs followed by a night cap at the Peabody Hotel where we can take in the duck walk.

Going back in time…

Nearly a century ago, the queen of Beale, Memphis Minnie…

The following Tutwiler, MS son of a share cropping preacher moved to Memphis at age 14 and was well known for many years on Beale Street. Love this version with Slow Hand Clapton and the Stones.

Then there was the the King himself, no, the other king. The Beale Street King who cut his music teeth on the street in the 1940s and 1950’s, open his own place there, and toured the world with Lucille. None better.

One of my all time faves that brings back the Memphis spirit of the Delta Blues…

And to think, I did not post one Elvis song. Nothing from Nutbush, TN’s Tina Turner about rolling on the river either. Or Jerry Lee Lewis’ bringing rockabilly from Sun Records along with his own club on Beale. Well, you get my point.

Remember Wolf’s site rules. Note and label all AI. Please be kind to one another, we are all in this together. May God richly bless America and all of you.

Trust Trump and the plan.

No. I refuse.

Okay, I’ll do it but the money better be waiting when I get there.

In memory of our dear Susie on the first anniversary of her passing.
Don’t know if you read her blogs, but I have been meaning to share a link to one of her posts: a tribute to her friend who passed away in 2022 and Christian love.

https://thatcatholicwoman.blogspot.com/2022/05/in-paradisum-my-friend.html

One of my favorite versions of ‘O God You Search Me’ (Psalm 139) by Catholic Music Initiative which I think she would’ve liked (kleenex alert!)

Rest in peace, dear Susie. 

cthulhu

I miss her so…..

MarieUrsula

Thank you so much for posting, K1ttz-fzn. I have been recalling this day, too. Wow. Momentous events have been unfolding since then! I would like to think that the prayers of Susie in Glory are being answered abundantly.

MarieUrsula

I love this hymn, too. Gorgeous. I’m a reliable alto and have that part in mind. <3

K1tt7-fzn

I love this version especially the last verse when they have a slightly different arrangement for the male voice plus with all the instruments, it makes me think of how Heaven and the choir of angels would be.
Sometimes at Mass when I hear this song, it annoys me when they sing it too fast… it needs to be a slow tempo, like a prayer.

If you have the change, I would recommend going to the YT channel of Catholic Music Initiative, their songs (even well known hymn) are really inspiring.

Indeed. We can hardly imagine the glory of the REAL choir.

Happily, the little choir I’m in has a very sensitive pianist who plays at the right tempo.

Thanks for the info on Catholic Music Initiative!

This is an encouraging post, TradeBait.

Seems I never hear anything about Memphis and New Orleans in the news, but there is a lot going on, and it affects much more than each city or state.

Regarding this, from the open…

Never forget that ALL media, even the alleged MAGA supporting media, depends upon eyes for income. Real and imagined chaos are good for business.

The only real question left to answer is how many of “them” are there? What are we up against, exactly? How many people have fallen victim to the indoctrination and brainwashing of commie clowns, Chi-coms, nazi fascists, perverts and such with the help of the media and entertainment industry over the years?

…here’s a slanted article from Politico that I think contains some truth.

MAGA Is Discovering the Downsides of X

(emphasis mine)

When Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022 promising to end “woke” censorship and transform the platform into a right-leaning haven of free speech, conservatives almost universally rejoiced…

Three years later, Musk’s control of the platform, now re-branded as “X,” has delivered its fair share of benefits for conservatives — not least of which was Musk’s successful full-court press to elect Donald Trump in 2024. But as the elite echelons of the MAGA movement slowly descend into obscure online disagreements and testy turf wars between rival influencers, conservatives are starting to confront an unpleasant possibility: that the right’s domination of X is doing more to divide the MAGA movement than unite it.

I doubt that X is doing more to divide MAGA than unite it, but I am sure it has people who are trying to divide and discourage MAGA.

…Vivek Ramaswamy announced his plans to log off of X, citing its “warped projection of reality.” And…during a recent appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, the conservative commentator and former Breitbart editor Raheem Kassam bleakly proclaimed that he was deleting the app from his phone.

“X is a post-apocalyptic cesspool of bots, pedophilia and political illiteracy,” Kassam wrote in a text message when asked about his decision. “I deleted it from my phone because it was making me dumber.”

As anyone who’s spent time on X during the Musk era well knows, Kassam has a point. Since Musk took over the platform and promptly relaxed its content moderation rules, researchers have found a notable uptick in both hate speech and activity from bots — or fake accounts — especially during high-profile political events like presidential debates. 

There are lots of bots on X trying to influence opinion and thought. The goal is for people to be in a constant state of dissatisfaction, which can make them vulnerable to influences they would not otherwise countenance.

Musk’s efforts to combat bot activity have in turn backfired on conservatives: A new feature rolled out earlier this year displaying the country where an account is based inadvertently revealed that many of the most active pro-Trump and MAGA accounts are based abroad.

I had not heard that and am not sure it’s true.

…Increasingly, some big names on the right are coming to worry that X’s algorithm — which elevates short-form video and audio clips over links to articles or essays — is undermining the right’s political cohesion by promoting the most outlandish and conspiracy-minded members of Trump’s coalition.

“When you take away linking to articles or essays and you reward short video clips, you’re going to move toward a kind of Jerry Springer conspiracy theory podcast slop,” said the conservative activist Christopher Rufo. “That’s a troublesome trend for the right in particular, because you have actual lunatics like Candace Owens” — the far-right podcaster who has built a massive audience peddling conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s killing — “that have garnered the biggest audiences in the business.” 

Rufo, of course, is no squishy moderate himself, having spearheaded the now-government-wide campaign against “critical race theory” and successfully agitated for the firing of prominent liberals like former Harvard President Claudine Gay. But from his vantage point, the problem with the current X algorithm is not that it rewards radical voices so much as it elevates figures who appear more interested in generating political spectacle than in driving real-world results.

“They have political effects, but they’re not actually orienting what they’re doing toward political outcomes,” Rufo said, citing Owens as well as the white-nationalist commentator Nick Fuentes and the far-right manosphere influencer Andrew Tate. “This is a problem because you cannot build a successful political movement on Candace Owens schizo-posting — it can’t be done.”

The problem is not confined to the online far-right, Rufo said. At a recent conservative fundraising event, he said, he was buttonholed by a well-connected Republican donor who held forth on the Israeli and French government’s role in the Kirk killing — an unsubstantiated theory that Owens has pushed aggressively on her podcast. “It’s not just random basement incels that are listening to this material,” Rufo said. “It’s creeping up into the actual political world that distorts our perceptions and makes us less effective.”

People are believing not only what influencers are saying, but what those who want to discourage us are saying.

The turmoil and division generated on X is becoming a problem for elected Republicans, too. Even as MAGA voters remain largely united behind Trump and his agenda, Republicans are being forced to spend time and political capital addressing squabbling among MAGA’s elite activists and influencers. Rufo pointed in particular to Vice President JD Vance’s recent speech at Turning Point USA’s annual “AmericaFest” gathering in December, where the vice president dedicated the majority of his remarks to tamping down the intra-MAGA feuds between populist-nationalist conservatives like Tucker Carlson and more conventional figures like Ben Shapiro that had dominated the early days of the conference…

While this article comes across to me as a hit piece on X, it is true that people are feeding the infighting because it benefits the Left. No doubt there are a lot of commenters who are paid, who are bots, and who are purposely trying to divide the Right. Almost nothing can be taken at face value anymore.

One year ago today, Pres. Trump was inaugurated. Biden or his autopen had ordered the flags to fly at half staff for 30 days after Pres. Jimmy Carter died on December 29, 2024. Trump objected to the Dems’ glee at this, and Speaker Johnson ordered the flags to be at full staff on Inauguration Day.

Gavin Newscum’s California is being instructed to return more than $1 BILLION in federal funding after an audit revealed it used massive amounts of taxpayer dollars to provide healthcare to ILLEGAL ALIENS.

But I thought Democrats insisted illegals weren’t getting taxpayer-funded healthcare….

NEW FOIA’d documents show that Fauci privately acknowledged “impressive” data showed natural immunity was more protective than COVID vaccines even as the Biden admin implemented mandates in 2021.

Privately officials acknowledged the strength of a study of 770,000+ people showing natural immunity to be 13x more protective. Publicly they touted a CDC MMWR study of 250 people.

This challenges a common refrain that people lost trust in NIH, CDC and FDA because policy couldn’t keep up with evolving science. The emails confirm once and for all Fauci and others had the science in their inboxes AT THE TIME showing vaccine mandates were unjustifiable.

New FDA leadership is investigating deaths after the COVID vaccine. Families deserve to know if loved ones died abiding by vaccine mandates that officials knew were redundant.
