CAN ANYBODY JUSTIFY THIS?

        This weekend we've seen a flurry of 'news' stories purporting to be about the upcoming election. Supporters of the Republican Party tirelessly have been expounding for the last year or so the need to depose the Democratic Administration. I do agree that the Democrats and the Whacko Left Wing generally needs to be ejected from positions of authority. However, I advocate doing this by the people standing up and re-asserting their Constitutional (and Natural) Rights of self-government. 

      The problem with this position is that the current supporters of the Republican Party can't seem to come up with an actual plan for achieving this. In fact, the longer that this Campaign has gone on, it has become increasingly apparent that we're not looking at Trump 2.0 as much as Bush 3.0; the same forsaking of principles and appeals to the lowest common social denominator, the overt Authoritarianism and top-down solutions---nobody seems to be able to explain why the 'alternative' is better than the current situation. 

     Take for example, some of the revolting stories emerging out of Controlled Opposition echo-chambers. Mark Levin, a stupid blowhard who has a well-financed echo-chamber of his own, accused Kamala Harris of being a virulent anti-Semite. This is despite the fact that Kamala is married to a lawyer for the Israel Lobby and currently heads the White House Task Force on Anti-Semitism---which incidentally he co-founded with Trump's participation. There have also been numerous lurid 'allegations' of 'sexual misconduct' against Kamala---all gutter-level innuendo that we'd expect from the Democrats; but again, it's only bad when the Democrats do it. 

     But more troubling than this, we saw on Friday influencer Kyle Rittenhouse withdraw his support from Trump---probably largely because opposition to Gun Control was another issue conspicuously absent from July's Woke Convention. Rittenhouse has apparently changed his mind---or, by the sound of things, had it changed for him. 


     Productive conversations indeed. In light of Thursday's remarks on the demise of Project 2025, the RNC seems to be taking a much more aggressive stance to curb dissent. This also goes for that great advocate of free speech, Elon Musk:


    Then there was this, allegedly from Trump (or whoever writes for him):




       So: purges, censorship, and productive conversations with Party strongmen. Does anybody still not see a problem with any of this? Exactly how does anybody imagine that these people are going to govern the country should they come back into power? We've been given a fair taste of it already, with some of the thuggery of Republican Governors and Congress passing laws seizing media outlets, expanding surveillance programs and openly praising WEF gangsters like Javier Milei and Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Is that what we want in the United States? It's time that Conservatives started asking some questions and getting some answers.
