Nolte: Despair Settles into the Never Trump World

DeSantis Will Bounce Back

The MAGA faithful used to love DeSantis until he became an impediment to Trump’s reelection bid, but now many of them will soon claim they never stopped loving him.

No. The MAGA faithful know that he’s a Sea Islander, sponsored by the big banks and hedge funds. If that makes no sense at American Greatness, their heads are still in the sand.

The more I think about the Kari Lake Bribery audio, the more amazed I am. Questions on my mind…

1. Why now? It’s been a little over 10 months. Planned? Coordinated?

2. This audio was “leaked” to DailyMail. Well, Kari obviously recorded it, so she must have “leaked” it, right?

3. Was Kari Lake recording this with a phone? Or was she wearing a wire? Which means a 3rd party was involved. The audio sounds muffled at times and then really loud magnifying their voices… you can also hear what appears to be a dog, suggesting she is holding the dog; so I’m leaning more towards a wire.

4. Depending on the above question, was this a premeditated recording?

5. This is one of the biggest scandals there is, so Why isn’t the MSM covering this? Crickets…

Timing is everything.

The meltdowns at MSNBC are intensifying everyday. Today on Morning Joe, they spent 20 minutes comparing Trump to Hitler, Mussolini, Saddam Hussein and they even projected exactly what the authoritarian Joe Biden regime is doing on to Trump:

“People truly don’t understand what absolute power for Donald Trump will mean… You could end up in jail. That’s what dictators do. They take their political opponents and they put them in jail.”

Oh, the irony…

The large majority of the American people are not buying this anymore. Expect them to ramp up the rhetoric as they enter the acceptance stage of their grief.

NEW: The Texas Military Department confirms the TX National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass (city property where mass illegal crossings are), and is restricting Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the Feds “perpetuate illegal crossings”. This is the area where Border Patrol has been cutting TX razor wire. Razor wire and fences are now deployed to block the area off from the public and federal government. Attached video is from our crew on the ground this morning as they began blocking it off.
You can expect DOJ to sue Texas over this.
Texas Military Department statement:

“The Texas National Guard has maintained a presence with security points and temporary barrier in Shelby Park since 2021. The current posture is to prepare for future illegal immigrant surges and to restrict access to organizations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings in the park and greater Eagle Pass area.”

I reached out to CBP/Border Patrol in the sector for comment hours ago – no response yet.

1And when he returned to Caper’na-um after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, not even about the door; and he was preaching the word to them. 3And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. 5And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “My son, your sins are forgiven.” 6Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7“Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question thus in your hearts? 9Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, `Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, `Rise, take up your pallet and walk’? 10But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins” — he said to the paralytic — 11“I say to you, rise, take up your pallet and go home.” 12And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

Politicized, Progressive Big Philanthropy

The Jeffrey Epstein files have been unsealed. We have the documents

Tucker Carlson ignites the Internet with new insider info on Epstein’s death…

We Sat Down With the Conservative Mastermind Behind Claudine Gay’s Ouster

Forwarded from Just Human ️️️

The release of new Epstein/Maxwell-related documents has refreshed allegations that Trump was somehow complicit in the blackmailing enterprise that they ran.

This could not possibly be more untrue.

Though some of the transcripts that mention Trump, Mar-a-Lago, and the Atlantic City Casino are newly public, it was previously known and recently testified to in the Maxwell trial that Epstein/Maxwell targeted Mar-a-Lago and that one of the girls in that trial, “Jane,” was taken there in 1994.

It was also previously known that Trump chartered one of Epstein’s planes to take him from Florida to New Jersey. This was testified to by the pilot when he took the witness stand in Maxwell’s trial.

However, what is key here is that Epstein messed up by putting himself on Trump’s radar. Here’s how:

The Atlantic City hotel was a trap for criminals from day one. The FBI and the Trump Organization coordinated during the pre-construction phase to set it up as such. Mar-a-Lago is likely similarly set up.

Epstein/Maxwell’s targeting of Mar-a-Lago employees and guests later caused Trump to ban them from the property in 2008, shortly before Epstein pleaded guilty.

Furthermore, and perhaps most significantly as it concerns these new documents, the very attorney who helped get them unsealed says that Trump was the only person who picked up the phone and was eager to help him investigate Epstein and Maxwell. And that was back in 2009.

Do you know of any other acquaintances or clients of Epstein who were eager to help any investigator or journalist who was looking into Epstein or Maxwell?

So, when you include this information (and I put the citations below), Epstein and Maxwell were walking directly into a trap set up by Commissioner Gordon and Bruce Wayne/Batman when they engaged with Trump and visited his properties!!

PS: Another bad move Epstein made was trying to “weasel” his way back into Trump’s world in 2016, no doubt trying to make friends in high places ahead of a Trump Presidency ( a Clinton Presidency would have been preferable to him, of course). And so Epstein had lunch with Trump ally Peter Thiel, who we now know was also a DOJ asset! Hahahaha!!

PSS: Y’all know that it was Trump’s DOJ who indicted both Epstein and Maxwell, right?

: )

Really? Megyn Kelly? Not that it’s no plausible, but…Megyn Kelly is in on it?

Long read, but worth it. I disagree on some of the finer points, though.

Democrats, do us all a favor and don’t open your fucking mouths moving forward, unless the words are “I’m sorry, you were right”.

You people have lost your privilege to speak in our presence.

You all had the AUDACITY to call us deplorable, while worshipping literal pedophiles.

You all discriminated against us, weaponized all levers of government against us, and claimed WE were the evil ones, because YOU were brainwashed by the pedophiles YOU claimed were the “decent” ones.

You all called us crazy for talking about widespread pedophilia and child trafficking. You claimed that we were conspiracy theorist whack-jobs. Well turns out we were right.

So moving forward, you all do not get the privilege of being taken seriously in any capacity. If you do not denounce your leaders and their crimes against children, you are complicit perpetuating the enabling of crimes against children.

We will not be taking any shit from people who rape children, or their supporters. Your leaders will pay for what they have done, and you can either join us, or shut the fuck up and get out of the way.

1 JOHN 3:11-21

11For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12and not be like Cain who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. 13Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you. 14We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 15Any one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17But if any one has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? 18Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth. 19By this we shall know that we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him 20whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God;

All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.

Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights
  2. No running with scissors
  3. If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and don’t just play them on TV like the body doubles pretending to be the squatter in chief:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

1 JOHN 3:7-10

7Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous. 8He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one born of God commits sin; for God’s nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God. 10By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.

DEAR MAGA: TGIF Open Thread 20231229

This is a quick placeholder as I was in a concert Thursday evening, and had to do an airport run. Will put links in the comments, and update when I can.

IDK about where you are, but it’s brandy weather around here.

As a member of Generation X, you have no idea who you are dissing.

And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion. In that spirit, though, threats of violence real or hypothetical are out of bounds.

Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

1 JOHN 2:3-11

3And by this we may be sure that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4He who says “I know him” but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5but whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him: 6he who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 7Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. 8Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining. 9He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still. 10He who loves his brother abides in the light, and in it there is no cause for stumbling. 11But he who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

SATIRE!

Have a good weekend!

MATTHEW 2:13-18

13Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” 14And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, 15and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.” 16Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men. 17Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: 18“A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more.”

The second story is worth attention if readers have not seen it.

Deep State Desperation

No Elections Using Computers in California as State Officials Freeze Spending State Faces $68 Billion Deficit

According to Chriss Street CEO New California State, Former Treasurer Orange County, CA: “The State’s spending freeze means there will be no money in California to spend on multibillion dollar computer systems. Counties will have to use same day paper ballots with hand counting which cost a fraction of the complex machines to operate. The savings to the counties and state are in the tens of billions of dollars”.

Well, that’s certainly a game changer if it actually happens that way.

LUKE 1:46-56

46And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; 49for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. 51He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, 52he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; 53he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away. 54He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.” 56And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.
